Remote Airbnbs Offer a Break From Wi-Fi and City Lights

Some Airbnb listings are promoted for guests who want to step away from their phones and busy streets. According to Condé Nast Traveler, these remote rentals are advertised as places where people can disconnect from Wi-Fi, cell service, and city lights.

The listings cover many kinds of places. One is a vegetable farm in North Carolina, and others are properties in the Andean peaks of Patagonia. Not every quiet stay is far away, though, because some listed rentals are within 20 minutes of an airport or a major city.

The homes on the list vary a great deal. A house in Norway, Maine faces westward and has a record player and a vinyl collection. In Teasdale, Utah, a home is built from two high cube shipping containers and has a 1,000-square-foot deck.

Other stays are in the United States and abroad. A cabin in Goodlettsville, Tennessee is set on 42 acres and is half an hour from Nashville International Airport. A desert cabin in Lone Pine, California is near Death Valley National Park.

Smaller homes are also included. A tiny home in Efland, North Carolina is 200 square feet and sits on eight acres outside Hillsborough. In Iceland, a home in Búðardalur is a five-minute drive from the town of Búðardalur.

The Faroe Islands are home to a cottage that is a five-minute walk from Múlafossur Waterfall and a 20-minute drive from the airport.

According to Condé Nast Traveler, the listings were chosen based on Superhost and Guest Favorite status, ratings, amenities, location, previous guest reviews, and decor.
