Look out, this newsletter is coming in hot!🥵
Not really, but we’re looking at a great place to take cover.
We’ve gotten a lot of feedback that the Airbnbs are a favorite of this newsletter, so today we’re taking a look at a seriously cool one.
I’ve always thought of New Mexico having two things:
AliensBorder Fence
Turns out they also have this awesome Cold War missile silo/bunker that is hosted by Gary on Airbnb,
Our friend Gary hosts this missile silo that has been renovated to include a room and office space. The booking includes a tour of the entire property.
The office space is packed with books about missile technology and the Cold War.
While you stay in a US military fortified bunker the owner of the property will take you through the entire silo.
Key Takeaways:
Anything can be a STR
Embrace the culture of your STR’s location
The more unique the better
Add value outside of a place to sleep by offering tours, museums, experiences, etc.
Not sure how Gary does it but there is wifi down there and that is absolutely key.
What we would do differently:
Offer a basic tour for free with the booking, and have a “premium” tour available through Airbnb experiences.
You can buy your very own “bunker” to turn into a STR here.
Do you like hearing about unique STRs?
