10 most incredible wish-listed properties on Airbnb in 2023: from an ancient mill in France and a treetop cabin in Nova Scotia, to a desert home in New Mexico and an eco-friendly cabin in Sweden
- Holiday rental platform Airbnb published its users’ 14 most wish-listed properties, taking us from France and Brazil to Australia and the US
- From a Hidden Haven villa in South Africa to a modern retreat in the Californian desert and a family-friendly cabin in Georgia, there’s something for couples, families or adventurous groups of friends
A few weeks ago, Airbnb published its users’ most wish-listed properties around the world that are new to the home-rental site.
The list includes properties from the United States to Australia. There are one-bedroom cabins in the mountains, five-bedroom villas near the beach and secluded retreats in the high desert.
The homes vary in size to accommodate romantic getaways, family reunions or adventures with friends. While all have scenic landscapes and convenient amenities, there are three that are particularly impressive, that would make for a bucket-list holiday.
Here are some of the best properties from the list, starting with our favourites: a cabin on an ocean hillside in Nova Scotia, a secluded home in the New Mexican desert and a glass cabin in a forest in Sweden.
1. Tower suite in Nova Scotia
If you’re a fan of tree houses, 360-degree views and aren’t afraid of heights, this Airbnb could be an ideal pick. It’s a nine-metre-tall (30-ft-tall) cabin perched on a steel structure on an ocean hillside in the fishing village of Broad Cove, Nova Scotia.
This stay requires a trek up four flights of stairs, but it’s worth it for the impressive views from the cabin. Inside, there’s a bedroom with a queen bed, bathroom, full kitchen and living room with a wood-burning fireplace. Although small, the cabin’s wooden interior and lounge-like furniture look cosy.
The home is filled with windows for 360-degree views of the surrounding trees and ocean, and there’s also an outdoor wraparound deck with a hot tub for two. According to the listing, the hot tub faces east so guests can soak and watch the sunset and sunrise, which is a romantic touch for a nature-filled couples’ getaway.
