These unique Alberta Airbnbs are among Canada’s most ‘wish-listed’ stays

Staycation season has arrived and with sun, fun, and self-care in the very near future, the only question that remains – is where in the heck do you go?

Chances are that you’ve already set your sights on a one-of-a-kind stay and we’d be willing to bet that it’s a yurt, dome home, or treehouse. How do we know this? Well, according to Airbnb, these unique homes are the most wish-listed destinations in the country right now and two favorites are located in Alberta!

In a press release sent out earlier today, Airbnb shared that more distinctive rentals are up 70% compared to back in 2019 – and we get it. Staying somewhere special can take an experience from good to great!

“In the spirit of wanderlust, Airbnb is helping to inspire imaginations, fill social feeds, and provide some much-needed rest and relaxation for travelers,” they wrote.

“From the cozy Cob Cottage on Vancouver Island and a Mongolian Yurt in the heart of the Yukon … Canada is chock-full of creative, fascinating, unique, and popular one-of-a-kind stays on Airbnb, tailor-made for every traveler’s dream vacation.”

Curious to know what got an honorable mention in the Prairies? These are the two most wish-listed unique Airbnb stays in Alberta.
