Airbnb says this Arizona cabin tops travelers' wishlists. Here's why and how to stay there
There's no shortage of unique Airbnb properties you can rent for a one-of-a-kind vacation.
Recently Airbnb unveiled the properties in each U.S. state that travelers ranked among the highest on their wishlists of places to stay. In Alaska, it's a one-bedroom bus. Florida has a converted Chinook helicopter. Kentucky offers a "glamping" experience with a geodesic dome.
It's probably no surprise to Arizonans that the most "wish-listed" Airbnb property is a cabin near Flagstaff. The Vista A-frame is settled among the forest and within walking distance of a nature preserve and just a short drive from downtown.
Here's what to know about the unique Arizona property, including how to rent it and what makes it special.
The most wish-listed Airbnb in Arizona is the Vista A-Frame, a two-bedroom cabin nestled in the forest.
The scenery and location are a big selling point for this Airbnb listing, which sits on a half-acre lot in the Kachina Village neighborhood. It is 10 minutes from downtown Flagstaff and just a short drive to some of Arizona's most popular destinations
The design of the home perfectly complements the outdoorsy setting. The listing calls it "cozy and moody" with a "peaceful and treehouse-like experience." The home has knotty pine paneling on the walls of A-frame and features a gas fireplace plus a spiral staircase leading to an exposed loft.
There is also outdoor eating and cooking space with quick access to the Kachina Wetlands Preserve, a beautiful birding hotspot with walking trails.
It is a "guest favorite," according to Airbnb. "This home is one of the highest ranked based on ratings, reviews, and reliability," the listing indicates.
Not only did guests highlight the location and its natural beauty, they commented on how well stocked and comfortable the Airbnb was, too.
"The cabin was absolutely stunning and cozy! We had the best weekend," wrote Gabriella.
"A perfect getaway near Flagstaff - near enough to town for dinner and far enough to feel serene," Sam wrote in his review.
You can reserve the Vista A-Frame online at airbnb.com/rooms/1031078634712084525.
The cabin requires a two-night stay, which will cost at least $800 and possibly more than $900.

What is 'ready, set, go' and what does it have to do with Arizona wildfires? What to know
Even when a wildfire isn't burning nearby, you need to be ready to act if something changes quickly. When a blaze ignites near you or it's time to evacuate, you need to be able to know what to do and act quickly to escape sometimes fast-moving wildfires. To make the process easier for those who are recommended to evacuate, the Arizona Sheriffs Association has put together three simple steps under their 'ready, set, go' program. Here's what to know about the 'ready, set, go' program, what it means and how to keep your family safe during Arizona's ever-expanding wildfire season. Updates: The latest on wildfires in Arizona According to the Arizona Emergency Information Network, these steps can include: Ready: Make a family evacuation plan, build an emergency kit with the five P's (people and pet supplies, prescriptions, papers, personal needs and priceless items), keep up to date on local news and check in with those around you about their preparedness. Set: Identify the closest shelter or safe space to you, prepare to take your emergency kit, listen to public health officials and be ready to leave the area. Go: Evacuate immediately, understand that if you do not, emergency services may not be able to help you, stay on designated evacuation routes and avoid closed areas until told otherwise. One of the best ways to be prepared is to register for emergency alerts through your county or tribe. It is also recommended that you follow your local sheriff department's social media, since they're the ones responsible for issuing the orders. InciWeb, a wildfire tracking website operated by the U.S. Forest Service, is also a good place to get reliable information. Keeping up with the Arizona Department of Transportation on social media can help for highway evacuations as well. Experts say individuals should make sure they're going to an official site, not relying on word of mouth or gossip. Arizonans should be prepared not only for wildfires, but also for the potential of flooding and mudslides during the monsoon. Former Arizona Republic reporter Rachel Hunt contributed to this article.

Airbnb names new CMO on tails of major platform overhaul
This story was originally published on Marketing Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Marketing Dive newsletter. Airbnb has named Rebecca Van Dyck as chief marketing officer as it enacts a major push beyond vacation rentals into offering more travel services and experiences, according to a company blog post. Hiroki Asai, who has acted as the platform's global head of marketing since 2020, is moving into the newly created role of chief experience officer, where he will oversee Van Dyck. Van Dyck's resume includes past stints at Meta, Apple, Levi Strauss and creative agency Wieden + Kennedy. She departed Meta in 2022 after acting as chief operating officer of its Reality Labs division dedicated to developing virtual reality products and the metaverse. The executive began working with Airbnb earlier this year in a consultative capacity. As CMO, she will lead marketing, research and creative teams while helping guide Airbnb's product development. Hiroki will continue to steward Airbnb's marketing, design, product and community units, but with a sharper focus on the end-to-end experience for guests and hosts and the platform's overall product roadmap. In an email to employees, Airbnb Co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky said he has been trying to get Van Dyck on board since first meeting her in 2012. 'We're in the midst of a major transformation as a company — Airbnb is now more than a place to stay,' said Chesky. 'As we launch two new businesses, we need people around the world to understand this shift, and Becca brings exactly the kind of leadership we need for this moment.' Airbnb last month overhauled its app with a reimagining of its Experiences feature that aids users in identifying must-do activities at their travel destinations, such as tours and local hot spots. The company also introduced Airbnb Services, which allows people to connect with professionals like chefs, photographers and massage therapists. The idea behind the latter tool is to go toe-to-toe with the amenities available at a hotel. To complement the platform makeover, the brand recently launched an ad campaign with spots that use colorful animation to illustrate how Airbnb Experiences bring a sense of discovery back to travel. The effort also has a hefty amount of social-only content targeted around popular cities to vacation like Florence, Lisbon and London.

Charleston County received $9.4 million from an Airbnb settlement. Here's how they plan to use it
CHARLESTON COUNTY, S.C. (WCBD) — Charleston County leaders are developing a plan for how to spend millions of dollars received as part of a settlement with vacation rental giant Airbnb. The company agreed in February to pay $60 million to settle a lawsuit brought by more than a dozen South Carolina communities over unpaid accommodations taxes and business license fees. Charleston County recouped $9.4 million as part of that settlement, and members of the county's finance committee offered a first glimpse at how that money will be allocated at its June 5 meeting. The recommendations included roughly $1.4 million for housing initiatives, $1.6 million for financial system upgrades, $2.25 million for drainage projects, and $1.1 million for the visitors bureau. Officials also decided to put $2.5 million into a reserves fund that could be used for disaster relief in anticipation of possible cuts to FEMA. In addition, $500,000 will be allocated toward the City of Charleston's Rapid Housing program as a one-time startup cost, but a county spokesperson said the money would go back to the reserves if the city doesn't receive matching funds from other municipalities. The proposal is expected to go before the full council for a vote on Tuesday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
