Since its founding over a decade ago, Airbnb has grown massively, shifting from a platform on which to find a place to sleep when you need it, to a platform that helps you find a place you absolutely must sleep in. That change has seen a notable continued focus on design, and last year, the company released a new search option called “categories,” which allowed users to specifically search for “homes chosen for their iconic architecture and interiors.” Now, Airbnb has released a list of its top 10 most sought after architecturally significant homes, and they aren’t anything like the rivers and lakes you’re used to.

"Given that many of our design-forward listings are hosted by creatives – artists, designers, and more – there’s also an inherent inspiration that comes from these stays, whether it be from the interior design, the art, the architecture, or a combination of all three," says a spokesperson from Airbnb.

This list is wide-ranging, with destinations as far reaching as Indonesia, Brazil, Norway, Italy, and Costa Rica. As different as they might seem—a woven bamboo treehouse secluded in a palm grove; a residence built into a cliff that resembles a quaint cabin—each ambitiously designed rental has the common thread of something the average person isn’t encountering in everyday life. Outside of what it might cost to get to these Airbnbs, you’ll be surprised at how affordable it can be to escape the ordinary for a just few nights.
