Have you ever dreamed of spending the night in a giant potato? I know, it sounds a bit crazy. We are used to seeing potatoes in all sorts of forms, from mashed to fried, roasted, and boiled. But a potato that you can actually sleep inside? That's something new and exciting.
Well, if the idea of snuggling up in a giant baked spud sounds appealing to you, then I have some great news. There is a place where you can make this dream a reality. And no, I'm not kidding. You'll want to pack your bags and head to Idaho in the US, specifically Boise, where you'll find The Big Idaho Potato Hotel.
This unique Airbnb is located on a farm and is actually built inside a giant potato. And when I say giant, I mean it. This spud originally weighed six tonnes and was created for the Big Idaho Potato Tour. Can you imagine that? A potato weighing six tonnes? But don't worry, it's not made of real potato. It is actually made of steel, plaster, and concrete.
During the tour, this massive potato was driven all around the US on the back of a semi-trailer truck, visiting 48 states to raise awareness about Idaho's most famous vegetable. The tour was supposed to last only a year, but it ended up spanning seven years. And when it finally came to an end, the potato was transformed into a one-of-a-kind place to stay, "planted" in a field in South Boise with breathtaking views of the Owyhee Mountains.
Now, let's talk about the inside of this giant potato. It's surprisingly chic and stylish, thanks to the brilliant design by Kristie Wolfe, a former member of the Potato Truck Tour team and a tiny house builder. The interior features a double bed, a rustic antler chandelier, two pink armchairs, shelves with some books, a small sink, a mini fridge, and even a record player. And the best part? It's eco-friendly and has power outlets so you can use all your devices inside the potato.
But wait, it gets even better. Just outside the potato, you'll find a silo that has been transformed into a bathroom and spa. And this is not your average bathroom. It has a bathtub where you can soak and look up at the stars. How cool is that? And if all of this wasn't enough, the Big Idaho Potato Hotel comes with a cute Jersey cow named Dolly, who will be your fuzzy pet for the duration of your stay.
The Airbnb description says, "If you love the fluffy feeling you get when you eat Idaho potatoes, you'll love staying in a giant potato turned cozy, grown-up getaway for two!" And I couldn't agree more.
Now, I know what you're thinking. How much does it cost to stay in this unique hotel? Well, a night at the Big Idaho Potato Hotel will set you back £145. But keep in mind that if you book through Airbnb, there are additional fees on top of this, including a £57 cleaning fee, £37 Airbnb service fee, and £16 for US taxes. So the total comes up to £255 per night. But trust me, it's worth every penny.
Don't just take my word for it. The Big Idaho Potato Hotel is listed as one of the "most loved" homes on Airbnb, with an overall rating of 4.9 stars. And the reviews from guests who have stayed there are nothing short of amazing.
One guest named Rachel planned her entire vacation around staying in the potato, all the way from Pennsylvania. She says, "I couldn't wait to stay in the potato! Even my husband enjoyed it too!" Another guest named Sarah says, "We had a lovely night at The Potato Hotel. Such a fun, quirky space and we really appreciated all of the thoughtful touches on the inside. Cozy, but well appointed." And Erica adds, "Definitely a fun experience that everyone should consider when they find themselves visiting Idaho! It was such a unique stay that you will come away with photos and memories that you will cherish and brag about for a long, long time!"
