The 10 Best Airbnbs in 2021, Good to Lure Travelers in 2022

As the long day draws to a close, and I sit compiling this article with worn-out eyes, a quote from Oscar Wilde kindles my mind. “Never marry at all, Dorian. Men marry because they are tired, women, because they are curious: both are disappointed.” My guess is Wilde saw the pitfalls of marriage and was not familiar with the perks to follow. Anyway, before we discuss that, I’ll get you back to the main idea: Travel – traveling with friends, family and of course that one personly you’re going to or have tied a knot with!

It’s better to travel with your better half, family or friends than to roam about by yourself. Talking of traveling, 2021 has been a bit of relief despite the pandemic gnawing its claws to every nook and corner of the world. Confined in my home, the obvious choice for escapism for me was to read P.G Wodehouse books, but for a travel enthusiast, the dilemma was to explore the world in their camper trailers or lodge in luxury Airbnb cabins.

For those choosing Airbnb, 2021 had a lot of options from a 1969 old school bus rental in British Columbia to a wooden cabin on stilts in Chile. From Hobbit House in North Carolina to a treehouse in the interiors of Italy, everything was jam-packed as people left in search of peace, tranquility, and most importantly, fun! Here we have shortlisted the ten best Airbnb rentals of 2021 that will continue to lure travelers in the coming years as well.
