Unique cave Airbnb in Utah is ‘like sitting in a painting.’ Take a look inside
Usually, when we think of caves tucked away in a mountainside, the natural dwelling is followed by images of dark, dank and mysterious nature made tunnels. But for one cave in Boulder, Utah, it’s a magical short-term vacation rental — with all the comforts of home.
Well, some comforts anyway, including beds, couches and a grill.
The BedrocK Homestead Cave is a unique Airbnb, which is available for $355 per night.
“The cave is a free-standing rock that your host, Grant, blasted and carved into his custom home,” the listing says on Airbnb. “It’s finished with glass openings for uninterrupted views of the Grand Staircase-Escalante Monument. Like sitting in a painting.
“The cave’s a fascinating work of art, while the surrounding homestead is a master example of sustainable living.”
The cave is the brainchild of host Grant Johnson, who bought the land that he would eventually turn the property into an “off-grid homestead with a 5,700 square foot cave house” over a 40-year time period, Unofficial Networks reported.
Inside, the cave uses hydroelectricity for power, and its temperature is regulated year-round, the listing says. Guests stay in a private wing with a fridge, microwave, BBQ and more.
“This is a rugged but comfortable stay,” the listing says.
Though, you will need four-wheel-drive to get to the dwelling.
The cave has a 4.94 rating, and guests have raved about their stays.
“A trip of a lifetime,” one person wrote. “4 of us stayed for two days, hoping for a unique stay, and were blown away by the shear amazingness of this hand-carved, luxury cave home.”
“The cave was amazing!” another gushed. “Very comfortable, plenty of space and TONS of nature to explore. The house has heat, running water, etc, but it is very remote.”
“This place blew all expectations out of the water - comfy beds, great hosts, and amazing views from every window (and the roof!)” one person expressed.
Boulder is about 249 miles southeast of Salt Lake City.
