You’ll have a holly jolly time when staying at The Candy Cane Lane in Prairie Grove.
Some might even say that there’s a tad too much décor – and that’s the point! It’s supposed to be delightfully tacky.
More specifically, it's made to look as if "your black-sheep uncle drank too much special eggnog and threw up vintage Christmas decorations all over this trailer."
The decorations aren’t the only features that help guests get into the holiday spirit, though. There’s also a typewriter for composing letters to Santa as well as a collection of classic Christmas movies and albums.
A stocking-adorned fireplace only adds to the seasonal vibes.
With a sofa that folds out into a full bed and two twin sofa beds, The Candy Cane Lane sleeps four guests.
It doesn’t have a bathroom or kitchen. However, both are just steps away, and that’s because The Candy Cane Lane Airbnb is part of Flamingo Springs, a 1950s Palm Springs-inspired trailer resort. The 50-acre wooded resort features six themed vintage travel trailers.
To learn more, including availability and rates, visit The Candy Cane Lane Airbnb listing. Just make sure you book early! This themed vacation rental is quite popular.
