Here in Washington, you can sleep inside a treehouse, a Hobbit House, and even a castle... but nothing quite compares to this amazing cave Airbnb we've discovered. These hosts spent over two years digging, drilling, blasting, and "tinkering" to create this cozy space, and it was well worth the effort. This is one of the most creative places you'll ever rest your head.
The cave, or C+A+V+E as it is listed on Airbnb, is located just outside the Bavarian town of Leavenworth.
The cave sits on 20 acres bordering the Alpine Wilderness.
You might be a bit apprehensive at first glance, but step inside and you'll see this space is anything but claustrophobic.
The host, Steve, owns two other creative Airbnbs nearby, but this one really takes the cake.
First, we have to point out that this cave has an all-natural rock hot tub, complete with its own underground waterfall.
The tub is big enough for 10 guests to soak comfortably. And since it's often deeper than people expect, Steve added a pole to help them steady themselves.
The living area is quite large, including plenty of seating and room.
And while there's no WiFi and cell service will be spotty at best, you won't mind entertaining yourselves with books or board games.
This is the perfect place for adventure seekers, small groups, and families.
And we can't think of a more romantic getaway than sleeping in a cave — far away from civilization.
The cave is equipped with a full kitchen with dishes, a microwave, a coffee pot, and a stove.
You won't even have to venture out to the surface to find food — although downtown Leavenworth is only four miles away in case you experience cabin (cave?) fever.
There are two full bedrooms here, but thanks to the extra beds, up to eight people can sleep here comfortably.
The master bedroom has a cozy queen-sized bed perfect for two.
The other loft bedroom has two queen beds, plus a single bed.
As you can see, you will not be roughing it when you stay here. In fact, the full bathroom even has a walk-in shower with heated floors and thousands of individually placed river rocks.
If you stay, make sure to venture outside and explore the property.
Your little ones will love the Whistler gondola out back, perfect for their imaginations. A peaceful creek also cascades through the property.
