Date:


Airbnb is soaring to new heights with its latest offering—an overnight stay in a repurposed U.S. Army helicopter. Situated in Brooksville, Florida, within the beautiful Moto Ranch at Withlacoochee State Forest, this unique experience allows guests to immerse themselves in military history and modern luxury.

Six guests can spend their nights aboard a Chinook CH-47D helicopter that has been transformed into a fully equipped, modern retreat. As the Airbnb listing proudly declares, “This iconic ‘choppa’ with the modern amenities of home, cannot be found anywhere else in the world.”

The helicopter boasts two bedrooms with four beds and one bathroom, ensuring ample space for a small group or family. One of the bedrooms is located in the cockpit, providing an authentic in-flight experience with pilot and co-pilot chairs facing the front window.

A Blend of History and Comfort

Airbnb is continuously expanding its offerings to meet the desires of travelers seeking one-of-a-kind stays. In this Brooksville helicopter, guests will find a fusion of rugged military aesthetics and sleek modern comforts. “There is so much to take in; from the custom epoxy poured countertops embedded with all kinds of surprises, the custom tiled bathroom, to the view of the ‘bones’ of the Chinook now on display behind the clear sections of wall,” the listing adds.

Equipped with a fully stocked kitchen, satellite, Wi-Fi, TV, and air conditioning, the helicopter offers everything needed for a comfortable, relaxing stay.

Immersive Experiences for Adventure Seekers

An Airbnb spokesperson shared with Fox News Digital that the company has noticed a growing trend of travelers seeking out more unique and immersive experiences.

“They are looking for Airbnb accommodations that go beyond the stay and offer fully immersive experiences,” said the spokesperson.

For those who crave adventure beyond just a place to sleep, the Moto Ranch’s location in the Withlacoochee State Forest offers ample opportunities for outdoor exploration. “Nestled in the stunning Withlacoochee State Forest, this repurposed helicopter is the perfect retreat for those looking to combine a unique accommodation with the thrill of outdoor exploration,” added the spokesperson.

Guests can enjoy activities like hiking, mountain biking, fishing, kayaking, and canoeing, making this more than just a place to rest—it’s a destination.

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience

The Chinook CH-47D helicopter is a shining example of Airbnb’s commitment to providing truly extraordinary stays. “The Chinook CH-47D helicopter at the Moto Ranch in Florida is a prime example of a one-of-a-kind experience that travelers can find on Airbnb,” said the spokesperson. This blend of military history, scenic surroundings, and modern conveniences makes for an unforgettable stay.

Prices for an overnight stay range from $164 to $509, depending on the season and availability.
