Never stayed in a cheese wedge–shaped cabin before? Well, your opportunity is just around the corner.
This summer, a new A-frame cabin in Wisconsin made its debut on Airbnb — and it's painted to resemble Swiss cheese in honor of the state's cheese-making heritage. (Consider this: 90 percent of the state's milk is made into cheese and Wisconsin produces 600 varieties of cheese.)
The one-room cheese cabin is the perfect way to get yourself off the grid for a weekend of decompression. There's no Wi-Fi here, and the only electricity comes from a portable solar generator that can be charged to run small appliances, like a phone charger or a fan. (If you really need Wi-Fi, there's some in the main farmhouse nearby, which is also where you'll find your bathroom since there's no running water in the cabin either.)
Each morning, you'll awake to bird song and perhaps the baaing of sheep. (The cheese cabin is located on a free-range sheep farm, so you'll definitely find some woolly friends around.) During the day, you can head into the woods for a hike or go fishing in the Class II trout stream. In the evening, light up the campfire for smores-making, or keep it dark to enjoy the night sky. Here, it's all about connecting with nature in whatever way you see fit!
So why in the world is there a cheese cabin on a sheep farm in Wisconsin? The host, Etienne W., was a recipient of a $100,000 grant from Airbnb as part of the OMG! Fund, a program that helps designers, architects, DIYers, and makers create the Airbnb of their dreams. Other winners include a giant Dutch clog in the Netherlands, a giant avocado in Mexico, and a stargazing stone igloo in South Africa — peep the full list of winners here.
