You can stay aboard a 1938 ship in the middle of this Port Townsend forest

Ready to be the captain of your own Airbnb? You can definitely do that at this Port Townsend rental but there’s a catch, this boat is actually on land. Yes, yet another classically cool PNW example of people reusing travel craft as living spaces.

This secluded ship named ‘Meadowlark’ is a 1938 40′ classic PNW cruiser. With four bedrooms and one bathroom, it can fit up to three guests. You’ll find an authentic bathroom, kitchen, sleeping quarters, as well as period memorabilia. Additionally, the boat features a roomy salon for meals, games, and relaxing. Best of all, you get to enjoy all the boat’s unique nautical aspects without the seasickness.

Instead of looking out on the open ocean, you’ll be looking out over acres of ‘regrowth’ Olympic Peninsula fir, hemlock, cedar, and madrone. Instead of steering your ship through open waters, you’re welcome to wander the grounds and enjoy botanical wonders, bird and wildlife sightings.

For a unique added experience you can enjoy a soak in the boat’s outdoor shower.

Now it is worth keeping in mind that this Airbnb probably isn’t the best spot for WFH. The wifi is not the strongest and also you’re in one of Washington’s most beautiful and quaint towns so you might as well see all that there is to offer. If you’d like to book a stay on the boat it will cost you $125 a night and there is a fair amount of open availability at the moment.
