Looking for Unique Stays? These 5 Colorado Airbnbs Are Exceptional

Are you in search of a unique and earth-friendly vacation rental for your next Colorado adventure? Well, are you familiar with the concept of earthships? Earthships are homes that are designed to be self-sufficient and use natural and recycled materials to meet their heating, cooling, and power needs. They can be either partially or entirely off-grid. They get their name from the fact that a large amount of "earth" is often used to construct them, and they can be "sailed" by opening and closing the windows at certain times.

As you might imagine, there are quite a few of these types of homes in our great state, and many of them are available as vacation rentals. Check out these Earthship Airbnbs in Colorado and rent one for a weekend to get started on your new obsession. You're going to love these very different types of homes!
