From a life-sized ’90s-style Polly Pocket house to a bedroom straight out of a Van Gogh painting, Airbnb is full of playful stays that let you sleep inside all kinds of environments. One of the most picture-perfect listings yet is The Lens Lodge, a cabin shaped like a camera in Ellijay, Georgia, where you can actually sleep inside the lens perched on a mountaintop.

Nestled between two of North Georgia’s most popular mountain towns, this OMG! Fund-winning stay is perfect for nature and photography lovers. From the outside, it looks just like a giant vintage film camera, complete with painted “controls” on the back. Inside, guests will find a bright living space, a fully equipped kitchen, and a bathroom with views of the surrounding forest. And when it’s time to sleep, you simply climb into the cozy “lens” that juts out from the front facade, suspended 15 feet above the ground.

The unique property also features a 500-square-foot deck with a four-person hot tub, a grill, and a fire-pit area. And according the Airbnb listing, “s’mores supplies are also provided.” Plus, there are two acres of privacy and plenty of surrounding woods to explore.

“This place was awesome,” reads a review by a recent guest named Michelle. “Being an amateur photographer, I loved all the details put into decorating. The view from the bed was breathtaking and I was able to get spectacular pictures of the starlit sky.”

  • Three Garden House

    Project: Residential House Architect: Taller de Diseño Exterior y Arquitectura René Caro Jesús López Collaborators: José Antonio Díaz, Karen Oaxaca Tanamachi, Daniel Rivas , Jorge Carrillo Photography: Lorena Darquea
    Area: 240 m2
    Location: Zapopan, Jalisco
    Project date: 2018
    Construction date: 2018-2019 The renovation and extension of this hermetic and rigorous house to transform it into a place of contemplation and enjoyment of the landscape had, as a guiding principle, the idea of the garden as scenario.The activities that were already happening in the house, as well as those new added to the architectural program have been organized and oriented looking for a more intimate relation from the inside outwards. Three gardens, three scenarios, three expressions. We have designed a grid of full and empty spaces, where to contemplate, wander around and just be part of them, is equally enjoyable, creating a fusion between the being and dwelling. We have chosen neutral materiality and geometry for the corridors, terraces, and indoor spaces, to enhance the presence of the Three Gardens.
