25 of the Coolest Airbnbs in Wisconsin – Featuring Treehouses, Tiny Homes, Yurts, Barns & More!

One of my favorite things to do when we travel is to find unique and crazy places to stay. From a treehouse in the Amazon Rainforest to a Martian Tent in Wadi Rum and a hut on top of Mount Fuji – we’ve had some great experiences!

However, with being home in Wisconsin this summer, I didn’t want this crazy accommodation streak to end! And you know what – Wisconsin has some incredibly cool Airbnbs and vacation rentals to stay in. There are treehouses, yurts, tons of tiny homes, barns, silos, and even a converted train caboose!

I’d love to hear which is your favorite Wisocnsin Airbnb in the comments at the end of the post. Enjoy!

Need a house sitter while you are gone?


I, personally, recommend TrustedHouseSitters if you need to find a housesitter/someone to watch your pets while you are away.

How TrustedHousesitters works is they connect home and pet owners with trustworthy, verified sitters who won’t charge to look after your pets, in exchange for a unique place to stay. They have sitters and homes all over the world!

It’s a fantastic way to find trustworthy people to watch your home and pets while you are away. (And on the flip side, it’s a cool way to stay in different areas of the country and world without having to pay for accommodation! I have a friend who literally didn’t own or rent a home for years, and only used TrustedHouseSitters to find the next spot she was going to stay.)
