Sometimes, accommodations serve a purely functional purpose on your travels — a place to put your head down at night and leave your things during the day while you go out and explore. On the flip side, accommodations can be the destination, with luxury amenities and spectacular surroundings offering more than enough to keep you entertained.

And that’s what Netflix’s new show “The World’s Most Amazing Vacation Rentals” presents to its viewers — that where you stay can also be where you play (plus, going big on a rental could end up saving you money). To help with your vacation rental planning, these unique Airbnbs were featured in the show, are available for bookings, and are most definitely destination-worthy.

A rustic forest path leads to this treehouse in the middle of an 80-year-old bamboo forest in Atlanta, Georgia.
