Usually when we think of caves nestled in the mountainside, the natural habitation is followed by images of dark, damp and mysterious tunnels built by nature. But for a cave in Boulder, Utah, it’s a magical short-term vacation rental — with all the comforts of home.
Well, a few comforts anyway, including beds, couches, and a grill.
Bedrock Cave Homestead is a unique Airbnb, available for $355 per night.
“The cave is a freestanding rock that your host, Grant, blasted and carved into his custom home,” the listing on Airbnb reads. “It’s finished with glass openings for an uninterrupted view of the Grand Staircase-Escalante landmark. Like sitting in a painting.
“The cave is a fascinating work of art, while the surrounding farmhouse is a masterful example of sustainable living.”
The cave is the brainchild of host Grant Johnson, who bought the land he would eventually turn the property into an “off-grid farm with a 5,700 square foot cave houseover a period of 40 years, Unofficial Networks reported.
Inside, the cave uses hydroelectricity for electricity and is temperature regulated year-round, the listing says. You will stay in a private wing with a refrigerator, microwave, BBQ and more.
“It’s a sturdy yet comfortable stay,” the listing says.
However, you will need four wheel drive to get to the accommodation.
The cave has a rating of 4.94 and guests have been delighted with their stays.
“A trip of a lifetime,” one person wrote. “4 of us stayed for two days, hoping for a once-in-a-lifetime stay, and were blown away by the incredible beauty of this luxury hand-carved cave house.”
“The cave was amazing!” another springs up. “Very comfortable, lots of space and TONS of nature to explore. The house has heating, running water, etc., but it is very remote.
“This place exceeded all expectations – comfy beds, great hosts, and amazing views from every window (and the roof!),” one person said.
Boulder is approximately 249 miles southeast of Salt Lake City.
