Have you always wondered what it’s like to stay on an actual battleship? Well, you can! This decommissioned battleship does double duty now as a museum and a very unique hotel of sorts. You can stay overnight and get a real feel for how sailors live. Located near the Camden Waterfront, visiting Battleship New Jersey is the perfect way to learn a bit about American history while having a really cool time.

There are several resorts around the world where you stay in luxurious treehouses that are fully loaded! Two of the better known treehouse resorts are the Hana Lani Treehouse in Maui and Out’n’About Treehouse resort in Cave Junction, Oregon. These are not the treehouses from your childhood memories, although you will relive that excitement. These are complete and luxurious accommodation that just happen to have been built in trees.
