Custom House
To really live it up on your trip, consider staying at this stunning townhouse, one of the best Airbnb rentals in Dallas. Conveniently located close to Uptown in the Old East Dallas area, you’ll feel quite at home in its blend of old and new, with plenty of coffee shops, bars, and restaurants to explore nearby.
There’s little doubt that the design of this Airbnb Plus is what will draw many people in, given that it boasts a sleek modern look with plenty of chic touches and furnishings. But this townhouse is also super-spacious, allowing it to host up to eight people without feeling cramped. Three bedrooms with king- or queen-size beds and an extra floor mattress make fitting large families or groups an easy proposition, and the two full bathrooms and half bath no doubt help as well.
The rest of the rental offers loads of space for hanging out in the vast open-concept living space on the ground floor. There you have a dining area, fully equipped modern kitchen, and access to a small enclosed yard. This Airbnb also comes with amenities like a washer and dryer, Wi-Fi, TV, and air-conditioning to keep comfortable, connected, and entertained.

Charming Cabin
You might not think of finding a cabin Airbnb in Dallas, yet somehow this adorable city cabin exists. Situated in the neighborhood of Urbandale just a 15-minute drive east of Downtown, you get access to both the city’s sights and a countryside feel. In reality, you’ll be staying out in the peaceful backyard of superhost Grady.
The tradeoff to staying in this wonderfully crafted cabin is that it’s relatively light on space. You have room for just two people in its main room, equipped with a double bed. Beyond that, there’s just one other room that functions as both a bathroom and kitchenette all in one. There you have your own indoor shower and toilet, as well as a fridge, microwave, and coffee-making supplies.
All of that should give you a sense of what kind of Airbnb this cabin is. Travelers who need loads of space or modern comforts may find it quite lacking, but if you’re fond of rustic charm and after a special experience, this provides a nice alternative to an ordinary condo rental in Dallas.

Tiny House in Wooded Backyard
If space isn’t that big of a deal to you, have a look at this clever tiny house, one of the best Dallas Airbnbs. Sitting at the northern end of Oak Cliff just minutes drive from the Bishop Arts District and the Dallas Zoo, what it lacks in space it makes up for in location. There is also a good variety of restaurants in the area.
For those unfamiliar with the tiny house concept, it’s basically a small guesthouse that uses every space possible, often in quite inventive ways. In this tiny house, you’ll find the sleeping area in a loft with room for a queen-size bed and not much else. While it’s possible to squeeze up to three people in this Airbnb Plus, it’s best suited to couples or solo travelers.
Downstairs you have a cozy living area and your own kitchenette, equipped with a fridge, microwave, and coffee-making facilities. Guests also have their own private bathroom and use of the pretty patio out front. Extra amenities include a smart TV with Netflix, Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, and free on-site parking.

Escape the City Treehouse
With its exquisite modern design and inviting natural feel, this Dallas treehouse Airbnb is a remote retreat up in the forest canopy that you simply won’t want to leave. Appropriately found in the peaceful, leafy neighborhood of Little Forest Hills, it puts you within walking distance of nature attractions like White Rock Lake and the Dallas Arboretum.
Calling this a treehouse has more to do with the feeling of the house than with it being a literal treehouse. Not that you’ll really care as you gaze out its giant windows to the Japanese maples that wrap around it and hide it from the world. What’s harder, though, is deciding who you’re going to share this unbelievable Airbnb mansion in Dallas with, as it’s meant for just four guests.
Inside you have two bedrooms, a massive living room, and a great front patio, all of which will help you feel nicely rested during your stay. There’s also a full kitchen with an oven and dishwasher, as well as two bathrooms and a laundry. Other amenities include Wi-Fi, an indoor fireplace, air-conditioning, and pay TV.

Vividly decorated with references to nineties-era shows like Saved by the Bell and The Simpsons, this is more than just an accommodation; it’s a time machine.
Even though this Airbnb is a complete experience all on its own, it’s worth talking about the benefits of its great location in Lower Greenville, a part of Dallas known for its food scene and nightlife, putting you within walking distance of lots of bars, coffee shops, and restaurants. Other important essentials include the unit’s two bedrooms, which can sleep five people, and its full kitchen.
But, really, with a novelty place like this, it’s all about the fun and unusual amenities that are thrown in.
