11 awesome off-grid Airbnb properties across the U.S.

Going off-grid doesn’t get any more stylish than this. In fact, this house in Beatty, Nevada – a stone’s throw from the famous Death Valley National Park – is so swish it’s been featured in books, magazines and photoshoots. Surrounded by an isolated patch of desert the place is kitted out with huge windows so you can see sweeping views of the countryside while you eat breakfast in the open plan kitchen-diner or when you wake up in the morning in bed. Look out for the sunken-in hot tub and the large full-height glass sliding doors that open completely, merging inside and outside. 

It might look like a scene from Breaking Bad, but we promise it’s a lot more luxurious. The Kyoob is a modern off-grid cabin Airbnb situated in Coconino County on a Native American-owned sheep ranch. Beautifully secluded but close to local attractions if you do need a day’s-break from your off-grid experience. While the Airbnb lacks electricity and running water, there are communal areas for bathing using well water, heated by the sun – truly immersing yourself in nature. The Airbnb is perfect for two guests, sleeping in a king-sized bed, and waking up to gorgeous views of the desert through the floor-to-ceiling windows. There’s zero Wi-Fi, so lock up your phone and be at one with nature; it would be rude not to.

Located in the remote location of the Western Navajo Nation, the Hogan Earth home Airbnb is ideally situated to provide you with the off-grid experience you need but is close enough to easily access restaurants, stores, and the Grand Canyon. Basic and minimalist, you’ll be stripped back to the Earth’s roots, with no running water or electricity and very limited cell service; good luck. The Airbnb has two twin beds, so if you want to snuggle up to your other half, think again. It’s so off-grid, you might bump into a coyote in the middle of the night. How rural.

Make Mother Nature your best friend in this Borrego Yurt Airbnb. More like rustic camping than glamping, the Yurt and all its amenities are designed with the planet in mind.

The off-grid Airbnb utilizes the Earth’s natural resources, from solar-powered electricity to rain and melted snow collected in cisterns. As well as being eco-friendly, the Earthship Airbnb is also people-friendly, with comforts such as a full-sized fridge, shower, oven, and internet access – in case you can’t resist a snap for socials.

Hide away from the world in this off-grid inn Airbnb. Perfectly nestled in the forest of Wisconsin, you’ll be surrounded by nothing but luscious woodland. The queen-sized bed looks out into the depths of the forest, giving you picturesque views from the second you wake, right up until you doze off. The Airbnb features a kitchen, made up of a mini refrigerator, electric stove, sink, and cooking essentials to allow you to cook your own meals.

Or a couple if you’re loved up and can’t bear to be apart. Located on a 46-acre agroforestry farm, the Airbnb is cozy, unique, and very rustic. By rustic, we mean, no running water, no electricity, and being surrounded by nothing but nature. There’s a shared outdoor kitchen, a swimming creek, and an edible forest (whatever that means). Pack your boots and any clothes you don’t mind getting a bit scuffed, you’ll be exposed to dirt, dust, rain, and insects, so it’s best to leave your stylish pieces in the safety of the closet.
