The best Airstream trailer rentals on Airbnb and Vrbo

A meticulous, six-month labor of love went into renovating this four-person, 30-foot vintage model that resulted in one of the best-looking units on our list.

The beauty is all in the details, with polished wooden surfaces, ingenious storage solutions, and artistic flourishes such as quirky light fixtures, statement pillows, and a sleek bathroom and kitchen. Reminiscent of a design-forward hotel, it won't feel like you're roughing it when you stay here.

The Airstream is parked in a downtown location in its own self-contained yard, with Wi-Fi, hot water, and air conditioning provided in addition to a hammock, outdoor grill, and picnic area. All the delights of downtown Phoenix are on the doorstep, including the scenic Japanese Friendship Garden just a couple of blocks away.

There is excellent availability to book from mid-late August onwards.

This gem dates back to 1954, injecting a serious dose of retro nostalgia for midcentury modern buffs.

It's been lovingly restored and kitted out, with original features bolstered by modern home comforts including a Queen-sized bed and wood paneling in the kitchen and living area that channel a 'Mad Men meets the American southwest' vibe.

The unit is set back on its own lot accessed via a gravel road surrounded by the stunning foothills and mountains of Taos. It's about an hour's drive north of Santa Fe and offers easy access to hiking in warmer months and skiing in the winter. There's a handy Wi-Fi connection, but no AC. Plan to rely on cooling breezes.

Availability in August is close to sold out, but there are good options for September and October onwards.

The trappings and stresses of modern life will surely melt away with a stay in this classic Airstream unit that happens to be located on 24 bucolic acres of Pholia Farm, a working goat farm in beautiful Rogue River.

The unit is well-suited for two people, with a retro, diner-like aesthetic, and canary yellow hues for welcome brightness in the living and sleeping spaces. There's solar-powered electricity for hot showers and Wi-Fi, but no air conditioning.

Guests may get as up close and personal to their fellow farm residents as they like. The hosts offer the chance to milk a goat, or simply watch them be herded by every day and wave from a distance (they're pretty quiet, especially at night).

The farm shop is stocked with a range of fresh produce, ready to be whipped up into a hearty dish in the galley. Beyond the farm, Rogue Rover offers scenic hiking, rafting, and fishing holes.

There is good availability to book from mid-August onwards.

Not everyone who wants to try out Airstream living wants to be out in the wilderness. Some might prefer to dip their toes in the camper van water with slightly lower stakes, and this vintage, 1960 model offers such a getaway in downtown Lexington.

That said, guests needn't compromise on ambiance, as the hosts created a magical backyard vista adjacent to their beautiful, 19th-century Victorian home.

Three beds can sleep up to four people and the continuous Wi-Fi, hot water, and air conditioning keep things comfortable but do note that the shower is outdoors, and separate. There is also a fire pit and outdoor dining area.

Availability begins in mid-August.

This lovingly-restored 1965 Airstream enjoys its own half-acre plot on the edges of a small farm just outside Flagstaff.

The well-equipped (with Wi-Fi and air conditioning) trailer is 25 feet long and stands out with a thoughtfully-designed, colorful interior with a cozy sleeping nook plus a plush couch outfitted in a bold print. Take meals inside at the kitchen table or outside at the picnic area or on one of the Adirondack chairs.

A couple or family of four can sleep here, amid the mountainous environs of Humphreys Peak, Mount Elden, and the San Francisco Peaks, which make for a truly cinematic backdrop.The historic downtown of Flagstaff is just 10 miles away, and if a 75-mile drive isn't out of the question, the north rim of the Grand Canyon beckons as well.

The property is part of a small goat farm, and guests will feel the full benefits of rural living, with plenty to occupy them across the surrounding natural panorama.

This listing has availability starting mostly in September and October.

The creekside setting of this home is certainly serene, located on a campsite in a lush meadow, surrounded by tranquil nature. The hosts list cows, wild turkeys, and bunnies as your friendly neighbors.

However, guests won't have to completely forgo luxury, as the site comes with Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a bathroom with shower, and hot water. The interior is contemporary with a sleek leather couch, flatscreen TV, and a memory-foam bed. Outside, perch on Adirondack chairs.

The surrounding landscape is spectacular; the wonders of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park sit right on the doorstep.

There is good availability from early September onwards.

Located on its own plot of land in Panorama Heights near the striking Mojave Desert, around 35 miles northeast of Palm Springs, this evocative 31-foot Airstream trailer is well placed to explore Joshua Tree National Park, Big Bear Lake, and Sugarloaf Mountain.

This listing sets itself apart immediately thanks to a wooden deck with a covered picnic table and a delightful above-ground seasonal tank pool, which is perfect for a refreshing dip on hot desert days. The inviting scene is framed by incredible rock formation and dramatic views.

There's plenty to love on the inside too with whimsical leaf and cactus prints, a full kitchen, dinette area (that can convert to additional sleeping space), a tucked away Queen-sized bed, plus a couch that turns into a single bed if needed. There's also electricity for heated showers and air conditioning.

Availability is limited through September but opens up in October.

This is a rare Airstream that is set up to welcome four guests with two full beds and one twin. The 1977 vintage model proudly stands atop its own remote bijoux compound, with a playful wooden 'trading post' framing the unit and providing shade and protection from the elements.

Air conditioning and a private bathroom are welcome amenities, with quirkier enticements that include a clawfoot bathtub and daily deliveries of farm-fresh eggs. Spend an evening sitting back making s'mores and listening to the calming hoots of the owls who live in the adjacent woods.

Ellijay is one of the more remote Airstream locations on the list, surrounded by the wilderness of Rich Mountain and Amicalola Falls State Park, and guests can hike, bike, and take advantage of the surrounding local streams and lakes to their hearts' content.

There is great availability from the end of August onwards.

Stay streamside in the Queen Bee, which has been transformed to evoke the feeling of a provincial French guesthouse to memorable effect.

The hosts have done a truly impressive job, with the bright white interiors showing off carefully-chosen, pastoral-looking decorative touches such as dark wood paneling, farmhouse-inspired cabinets, subway tiling, and a decorative chalkboard for scrawling messages. There's also Wi-Fi, a private bathroom, and air conditioning to cement the reassurance of home, although it feels secluded on its own corner of land located 20 minutes away from downtown Asheville.

Mountains and national forests are ripe for exploration in every direction, and there's also the option to arrive or leave via the spectacular Blue Ridge Parkway, the country's longest linear park.

There are good options to book from mid-August through mid-September.

This picture-perfect 1960s-era Airstream has been lavished with so much attention to aesthetic detail, it looks as if it was curated specifically for a glossy magazine photo shoot.

The exterior is beautifully buffed, flanked by colorful potted plants, a checkerboard lawn, natural foliage, as well as a lovely white deck with a couple of vintage chairs. The interiors bask in midcentury modern style with a red-lacquered retro kitchen, low slung couch, dining area, and even a fireplace. A Queen-sized bedroom is nestled between seafoam green walls, and the bathroom with shower invites further exploration with its clever atlas-themed wallpaper.

The Airstream is set up discreetly behind the host's house, so it's not totally remote, but affords a nice level of privacy, and there's even a tree fort in the yard for kids' use. San Francisco attractions are a 30-minute drive away, and nearby Mount Tamalpais National Park is a worthy draw.

There are limited August dates but the booking calendar is open through September and October.

Not all Airstreams are renovated vintage units. This 2017 model is a newer offering with a larger living area (six people could stay here, though it might feel tight) and a more tech-forward set up that includes three TVs, a fully-integrated sound system, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning.

The design isn't as fashion-forward as some of our other picks, despite the tiki title, and it feels a bit more like a high-end RV, but quality fabric fittings, multiple beds (including bunks), and a fully-equipped kitchen are complimented by a covered seating area and deck outside.

The scenery is the true standout, however. This home is parked facing the coastal views of the Santa Rosa Sound and beyond that, the shimmering Gulf of Mexico waters. The unit is set up in a private corner of an RV park, with Pensacola itself just under an hour's drive away, or head the opposite direction to explore the Point Washington State Forest.

Booking is limited until early October.

COVID-19 cleaning procedures: No specific COVID policies are mentioned, but self-check-in is offered.

This beautiful model is a 34-foot Excella from 1984 with a double and two single beds to easily host four people.

It will suit guests already amenable to outdoor life, and although it has some useful amenities (Wi-Fi, hot water), it will appeal to those who love to grill their dinner in the open air and maybe even sleep in a hammock under the stars when the mood takes them.

The interiors maintain their retro roots with ample light wood and vibrant prints, and the listing offers a smidge more room other units on this list. The biggest draw, though, is the plum location. There's a strong sense of isolation, self-contained in its own clearing in the woods, near Hudson Highlands State Park with exceptional hiking trails.

There is scattered availability in September, with greater options beginning in October.

For those looking to up the glam side of glamping, the hosts of this Airstream promise hotel-style levels of luxury. Think 500-thread count linens in what is billed as a master suite, a private bathroom, Keurig coffee maker, and even little gifts like complimentary wine, cheese, and cupcakes.

There's also a sleek kitchen, plush outdoor seating with a fire pit, and access to shared community amenities such as a beach and pool in the adjoining RV park. Even better, the hosts offer the use of a grill, bicycles, paddleboards, kayaks, and beach chairs.

There are some September dates available, with much more choice from October onwards.
