Planning a trip to one of the most unique landscapes on the planet? Why not stay in an equally unique property? Here are some of the best Airbnb’s Death Valley has to offer.

That reputation is precisely why I, like so many before, have fallen in love with Death Valley. So when you’re plotting where to stay in Death Valley, amongst the extremes, I’d go out on a limb and say you can’t go wrong with an Airbnb.

I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to go. Death Valley waits for no one.

Best Airbnbs in Death Valley

Sure, Death Valley has sweeping vistas, distinct mountain ranges, rock formations, and even ghost towns. But, it’s the eclectic and inviting Airbnb options in and around the park that make for the most astounding stay

Designed to Death 

Designed To Death

Sitting on a private hill, Designed to Death is one of the best Airbnbs in Death Valley National Park. 

Don’t believe me? Well, with interiors designed to harmonise with the surrounding park, it has every amenity to make your stay as comfortable as possible. 

It features air-conditioning, an indoor fireplace, and room-darkening shades to keep the blazing sun at bay. The little things, such as locally sourced coffee beans and multiple bookstands filled with poetry collections, set it apart. 

Location: Beatty

The scenic town of Beatty sits close to the northeast entrance of the park. Here you’ll find Western-themed saloons, restaurants, a museum, and a casino.

Creamsicle Camper

Creamsicle Camper

If you’re looking for a cosy camper close to Tecopa Hot Springs and Death Valley, the Creamsicle Camper is an ideal option. It’s a no-frills take on accommodation (but don’t let that put you off) and includes wooden accents for that authentic western feeling.

The camper has a fully-equipped kitchen, heating, and air-conditioning. Although it can sleep three people, it’s more suited for two. Its convenient location makes it stand out, with Tepoca’s mineral springs right across the street.

Location: Tecopa

Tecopa is a tiny town with little going on, dating back to the California gold rush. But the highlight is the Death Valley Brewery.

Desert Gold

Wooden exteriors, award-winning interiors, and an ocean of sand and sagebrush highlight Desert Gold. Full-height windows and glass doors extend your living room from the inside space onto a deck that sits atop the desert floor. 

Location: Beatty

Although the closest town is Beatty, when staying in Desert Gold, you’re surrounded by 80 acres of unmarred desert. And Death Valley is just a few minutes away.

Sun Mark Home

Beautiful Cultural Home

For couples who enjoy outdoor adventures and nights spent under the stars, this stunning cultural home is a surefire hit. As one of the best Airbnb’s near Death Valley, you’ll love this slice of heaven.

Desert Escape

Dark Sky Escape Near Death Valley Ntl Park

Although most cabins in Death Valley offer seclusion, few come close to the well-appointed Desert Escape near Amargosa Valley. The majestic Funeral Mountains nearby are pure eye candy if you’re a sunset-chaser (which I certainly am).

Inside you’ll find a modern design with rustic elements such as wooden panelling and finishings. It’s well-equipped, and the outdoor fenced patio features hanging deck chairs and full BBQ facilities. 

Location: Amargosa Valley

Situated in the middle of the Nevada desert, famous attractions of Amargosa Valley include the five-square-mile Big Dune OHVA. 

The Grand Trailer

The Grand Trailer at Delight's Hot Springs Resort

If you’re looking for a high-end Airbnb near Death Valley National Park, the luxurious Grand Trailer RV in Tecopa is the perfect spot. It packs a punch with marble and wooden finishings inside and a spacious master suite.

It boasts an open floor living area and a breakfast nook perfect for sunrise dining. The outside features a stunning patio, BBQ area, pool, and hot tub. 

And as a bonus, guests of the Grand Trailer gain a VIP pass to the nearby Delights Hot Springs. Which is a good reason as any to stay here, I think.

Beyond its proximity to Delights Hot Springs Resort, here you’ll also find numerous hiking trails. 

Pahrump Guesthouse

Pahrump Guesthouse

A perfect getaway spot if you’re looking for a home-away-from-home, the Pahrump Guesthouse is one of the best Airbnbs near Death Valley. Offering complimentary Wi-Fi, central heating, and modern air-conditioning, luxuries come as standard.

Contemporary interiors in tones of grey highlight the spacious living area, while the private outdoor cabana is perfect for getting away from it all. A special touch is the numerous goldfish and koi ponds with waterfalls throughout the backyard.

Wild West #1

Wild West 1 + 2 - Death Valley Getaway Cabins

If you’re wondering where you can find a modern yet rustic aesthetic in the land of extremes, then the aptly named Wild West Cabin fits the bill perfectly. It might be a little cliche, but hey! You’re on vacation, after all.

This cabin near Death Valley appears compact but don’t let looks fool you.

Bottle Cottage 

Bottle Cottage at Villa Anita DV

Now for something a bit more unique. Villa Anita’s Bottle Cottage ticks all the boxes, if you ask me. 

Decorated with eccentric art pieces and walls built from glass bottles make this a standout. Expect vibrant colours reflecting from every surface while artistry drips from every inch of the cottage.

An open-plan interior lets your bedroom flow into the living area and onto a stunning patio. You’re not allowed to cook within the unit, so you’ll have to dine out (what a shame!). 

Fair warning: The property is also home to numerous rescue animals, thus you’ll need a love for animals when staying here.

Location: Tecopa

The Bottle Cottage sits close to the Tecopa Hot Springs, while Death Valley is only a few miles away, and Las Vegas is reachable in under an hour.
