local airbnbs

across the south

2. The Majestic Treehouse - Walhalla, South Carolina, United States


Airbnb listing: The Majestic Treehouse

Price: From $395 per night

Sleeps: 2 people

Live like kings in this extraordinary, award-winning treehouse hidden in 40 acres of paradise! Cozy, whimsical + glamorous - two connecting treehouse decks transport you to utopia! Fireplace, indoor plumbing, outdoor shower, record player, + antiques make this an unforgettable experience. Rest, reconnect + have an unforgettable experience!


What the guests say: "If you want to escape the modern mayhem, this is your place. While close enough for a quick stay, it is a fabulous retreat. You can feel the love that went into creating this masterpiece!"

3. The Mazant - New Orleans, Louisiana, United States


Airbnb listing: The Mazant - Renovated 1880s Mansion in Bywater

Price: From $1100 per night

Sleeps: 16 people

With over 5,000 sq ft of living space + 1/3 acre of gardens, The Mazant is a historic mansion located in the heart of New Orleans' Bywater arts district - and about 1.5 miles from the French Quarter. It's perfect for family reunions, wedding parties, company off-sites, and other large groups!


What the guests say: "The Mazant house far exceeded our expectations for our 15-person long weekend (we had friends coming from as far away as Australia!)—and we had high expectations. The photos simply can't do justice to the amazing high ceilings, the thoughtful finishing work to this 19th century mansion, the quality of the grounds, the size of the kitchen, living room, dining room and many of the bedrooms, and many of the fine small touches - such as home music systems in many of the rooms. It's a splendid, world-class home. Frankly, I'd much rather stay in Bywater than in the Garden District because there is so much to see, eat and drink on a walkabout—the local Bywater Bakery for breakfast treats, the Bachannal wine store and restaurant for courtyard music and food, the funky shops and the sense of quirky restoration that is slowly bringing the characterful local homes to repair. Yet, it's a very quiet neighborhood. Be aware that it is funky, not to mention wonderfully diverse. As you approach the house on desperately potholed roads, you may wonder what you've got yourself into. As you explore the home, you'll realize you've got yourself into a great, luxurious adventure."

What the guests say: "What an amazing place. There were six girls in this unit. We were here for a bachelorette party. Even having one full bath, it still worked. The decor was beautiful, and we spent a lot time on the balcony. Close to Bourbon Street, but not right on the middle with all the noise. When we come back, if this place is available, we will be staying here."
