See Inside This Giant Potato That Is An Airbnb [Tri-State Travels]

Who doesn't love potatoes in any form? Fried, mashed, french fries, chips, a hotel...yes, there is a potato hotel that you can stay in that you have to see.

I have done several posts about places in the region that you can stay in when you visit the area. So I decided to find a new, unique place to highlight each week in the region that you can visit. This new series will be called Tri-State Travels. This doesn't necessarily mean that all of these places are found here in the Tri-State, however, these are places that Tri-Staters might like to visit when they plan trips in these areas.

This week, let's highlight a very unique stay in Idaho. What is Idaho known for? Potatoes! So, it's only fitting that there is a giant potato that you can stay in there. Just south of downtown Boise, you will find a 6-ton potato on 400 acres of farmland that has been transformed into an Airbnb called "Big Idaho Potato Hotel".

The Big Idaho Potato Hotel was once a part of the Idaho Potato Commission’s Big Idaho Potato Tour. At one point, it traveled on the back of a semi to 48 states for seven years. Now, it's got a new life as a hotel designed by Kristie Wolfe, a former Big Idaho Potato Tour spokesperson. According to the Airbnb listing, this unique stay made for two guests allows for "stylish private comfort". The Big Idaho Potato Hotel features a custom built-queen bed, a mini-fridge, and a detached bathroom silo with a fireplace. It really looks like a fun and unique getaway for couples. They need to have a catchy tagline for this place like "Take your stud to the spud" or something like that.
