The Big Idaho Potato Hotel in Boise, Idaho, is listed on Airbnb for $200 a night. The steel, plaster, and concrete structure is 28 feet long, 12 feet wide, and 11.5 feet tall, with enough space inside for a queen bed, bathroom, and cozy lounge area.
Take a photo tour of the quirky Airbnb below.
The Big Idaho Potato Hotel in Boise would be the perfect getaway for potato lovers.

Though the structure looks like a real, giant potato, it's actually made of steel, plaster, and concrete and measures 28 feet long, 12 feet wide, and 11.5 feet tall.
Despite its compact size, the Big Idaho Potato Hotel boasts a fully-furnished interior with sufficient space for two people.
The bedroom has a queen bed. Airbnb
The potato has enough space to comfortably fit a queen bed and two chic armchairs. There's even a makeshift chandelier hanging from the ceiling that looks like it could have been fashioned out of potato skins.
The bathroom isn't huge, but it has tall ceilings and all of the essentials.
The bathroom is decorated with plants. Airbnb
The entire Airbnb, including the bathroom, is dotted with houseplants.
There's also a bathtub that fits right in with the greater theme.
There's a tin-style bathtub. Airbnb
You could wash a lot of potatoes in that tub.
The accommodation was designed to maximize its limited space.
The kitchinette. Airbnb
There's a kitchenette for any small cooking tasks guests may want to undertake.
Still, there's a bit of extra room for luxuries.
Fireplace in the Big Idaho Potato Hotel. Airbnb
The Big Idaho Potato Hotel has a small fireplace tucked into one corner to help keep occupants toasty in the winter, as well as air conditioning for the warmer months.
The hotel is surprisingly posh and picturesque on the inside.

The interior is almost as Instagram-worthy as the outside.
And if you decide to venture outside, the "potato" sits in a huge field with views of the Owyhee Mountains.
