Whether you're thinking about a vacation in Texas or a staycation in the Bayou City, these 11 unique Airbnbs still have room for eclectic travelers during mid-March.
An "old world feel" is the goal of this medieval-gothic inspired "castle" and guesthouse on the shore of Lake Livingston northeast of Houston.
The castle offers an upstairs bedroom loft decorated with a medieval canopy bed.
The downstairs guesthouse features interior design in the style of a German village house, with a kitchenette and a studio loft with two beds.
Located on 10 acres outside Waco, this secluded dwelling surrounded by llamas, goats and cows was created inside a restored grain bin from a nearby family farm. Guests can feed llamas and fish in a nearby stock tank.
The space features two sleeper sofas and an upstairs loft with a queen-sized bed. Downstairs, there's a full kitchen and bathroom.
Of course, some may prefer the outdoor shower, a homage to historic rural living. Just don't let the curious llamas loose or you'll be caught off guard.
For those seeking a brief staycation that offers reprieve from the chaos of the outside world, this Japanese-themed tiny home in Spring Branch, north of Koreatown, reflects the philosophy of wabi-sabi: appreciating the simple and transient beauty of life.
The home makes efficient use of compact space, with a full bathroom and a kitchenette. Guests have the chance to try a shikibuton, or a traditional Japanese floor futon on a low platform.
Several shipping containers transformed an East Downtown lot into an architectural statement, with three apartments for travelers and curious Houstonians.
Each living pod includes a double bed and bathroom. Guests can also enjoy a shared balcony, though they'll need to access the apartments using a the narrow stairwell.
This Montrose home advertises a "chill" atmosphere, allowing guests to check into one of two pool suites - or rent the entire house - to enjoy a serene backyard featuring a spa.
The shared outdoor space is kept as a quiet but amiable retreat, with no parties or events.
Those making a trip to central Texas can join centuries of travelers who stayed in this historic Fredericksburg carriage house featuring a full bedroom, kitchen, and upstairs reading loft.
Of course, the first horse carriage drivers didn't have access to a limestone bath and outdoor hot tub, both later additions to this visitor's cottage near downtown Fredericksburg.
Houstonians lost in Dallas might take refuge in this pine cabin surrounded by a "heavily-wooded oasis" in the Urbandale neighborhood 15 minutes from downtown. It's among the most wishlisted Airbnbs in Dallas, according to the Dallas Business Journal.
Built from pine hand-planed in Boone, NC, the cabin evokes the atmosphere of a woodcutter's home. It features air conditioning, a kitchen, and a double bed, with a bonfire pit outside.
One of a collection of bespoke shipping container homes, Stillwater House just north of Waco combines modern and rustic design influences, a hallmark of the shipping container home movement.
The home, clad in cedar siding, features a kitchen, bathroom, and queen-sized bed. Guests can watch the sun set over farmland from a rooftop deck.
Nearby Stillwater House, Cool River House is a two-story model featuring an upstairs and downstairs suite, each with a bedroom and bathroom.
The geometry of the 20-foot-long shipping containers makes for a unique interior design that emphasizes unity and continuity of space.
On the shore of Clear Lake in Kemah, Texas, the Harmony Houseboat blends a quaint interior with the often-colorful atmosphere of boat life.
Inside, the boat resembles a carefully decorated RV, with a kitchen, bathroom, a double bed and a sofa bed.
But it's the views of sunrises and sunsets over the water that reminds Houstonians why they flock to the Texas coast for vacations. Why not this spring break?
