By now, most people have used the vacation rentals website, Airbnb, as an alternative to hotels while traveling. More often than not, these rentals come with more space, a unique atmosphere, and a cheaper price tag.
However, Airbnb is not always the cheaper option. One of the most expensive Airbnb’s in the country is right here in Austin, Texas renting for a cool $10,075 a night! To be fair--the listing sleeps 16 guests in 8 bedrooms that span three separate houses. It’s located in Clarksville and is mainly intended to host large groups during the annual SXSW festival, although they will accept renters for other events throughout the year
Curious what the rest of the most expensive Airbnb’s look like? Our friends at Simply Self Storage recently compiled a list of the most expensive Airbnb rentals in the top searched-for Airbnb destinations in the United States. From Hawaii to Las Vegas, they list some seriously posh diggs (and a few that are seriously overpriced). See them for yourself below!
