Camera-Inspired Cottage Offers Perfect Mountain Getaway

From a life-sized Polly Pocket residence reminiscent of the ’90s to a bedroom that appears to have sprung from a Van Gogh artwork, Airbnb offers an array of whimsical accommodations that allow you to rest within diverse environments. One of the most idyllic listings to date is The Lens Lodge, a cabin designed like a camera located in Ellijay, Georgia, where you can indeed sleep within the lens resting atop a mountain.

Situated between two of North Georgia’s most frequented mountain towns, this OMG! Fund-winning retreat is ideal for nature enthusiasts and photography aficionados. Externally, it resembles a massive classic film camera, complete with painted “controls” on its rear. Inside, visitors will discover a vibrant living area, a fully equipped kitchen, and a bathroom boasting views of the encircling woods. When it’s time for bed, you simply ascend into the snug “lens” that protrudes from the front, suspended 15 feet off the ground.

The distinctive property also includes a 500-square-foot deck featuring a four-person hot tub, a grill, and a fire-pit area. According to the Airbnb listing, “s’mores supplies are also provided.” Additionally, there are two acres of seclusion and ample nearby woods to discover.

“This place was incredible,” states a review by a recent guest named Michelle. “As an amateur photographer, I appreciated all the details incorporated into the decor. The view from the bed was stunning, and I managed to capture amazing images of the starry sky.”
