As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

As Idahoans, we are used to having our state automatically associated with potatoes. But we have to admit there is certainly some truth in our state’s relationship to this iconic food. Most Idahoans have a borderline unhealthy obsession with potatoes—in every form that it takes—and now you can even sleep inside of one! A new “potato hotel” was just unveiled and will start welcoming visitors in the upcoming weeks. For an authentic Idaho experience that’s bound to make an impression, consider spending a few nights in this wacky potato B&B.

If there's one thing that Idaho is known for, it's potatoes, and we've definitely learned to take it in good humor. The Potato Hotel is just the newest example of our loving bond with potatoes, and it looks like an amazing place to stay.

Kristie Wolfe had a fantastic idea to turn the potato into an Airbnb rental. At 28-feet long and 12-feet wide, it makes for a cozy place to stay for potato-loving vactioners. Additionally, it's the perfect way for out-of-state visitors to experience The Potato State!

The potato is adorably decorated on the inside. It includes a queen-sized bed, two chairs, a small sink, an elk antler chandelier, an indoor fireplace, and heating and A/C. A bathroom is located in a separate unit and comes with a corrugated steel tub, walk-in shower, sink, and toilet.

Surrounded by 400 acres of farmland in Boise, the Potato Hotel couldn't be in a more fitting location. The only thing nearby is the National Guard training facility and the Union Pacific Railroad. You don't have to worry about nosy neighbors, that's for sure.
