One of the key aspects of planning a trip is figuring out where you're going to sleep. Many will argue that your accommodation is just as important as the attractions, restaurants, and adventures you'll experience in a tourist spot. Some travelers seek dwellings that aren't standard hotels or motels. The reason? These out-of-the-ordinary lodges and properties with quirky amenities could spice up their vacation.
That's where LoveExploring comes in. The travel website uncovered the "most unusual" place to stay in every state, from former prisons and railcars to
Colorado's most unusual stay is the UFO Watchtower! This roadside attraction is for those who don't mind roughing it outdoors. The site's biggest claim to fame is the multiple reports of UFO sightings, hence the name. Here's why it piqued the interest of writers:
"This one’s pretty out there – and, according to owner Judy Messoline and the many believers who make a pilgrimage to the site, they’re out there too. This is the world’s first UFO Watchtower and people can book to camp by it in the San Luis Valley desert. There’s a UFO-themed garden and a small museum too, and come nighttime there’s very little light pollution, which makes it perfect for spotting spaceships."
You can find this spot at CO-17 in Center, which is Alamosa County.
