airbnb

According to the Washington Post, Airstream retail dealerships saw a 22-percent growth in sales in 2020, with the demand still rising, and it’s easy to see why. Nicknamed the “Silver Bullet,” these sleek travel trailers provide an ideal modern glamping experience that served as the perfect respite over the past year as the world adjusted to social distancing and travel plan changes.

Airstreams have been around for almost 100 years, and are often associated with a retro-modern look that is easily adaptable to a variety of interior styles.

Due to the high demand for this unique type of travel, there is an abundance of Airstream vacation rental options available, featuring either vintage, restored trailers or new, with all the present-day conveniences. When you want more secluded travel plans, here are our favorite US Airstream glamping rentals.

Allegria

This Airstream is just a short drive from hiking, fishing and shopping, providing both the best of nature and modern convenience in one unique location for an unforgettable trip. We recommend hiking at Devils Punch Bowl Waterfall, a 2.2-mile hike with stunning waterfall views.

When it’s time to eat, you can dine at Village Smithy Restaurant, an award-winning restaurant that opened in Carbondale in 1975, or Allegria, a favorite Italian–European restaurant.
