Video: 'UFO House' Turned into an Airbnb

A one-of-a-kind camping experience will soon be available to people visiting southern California by way of an incredibly rare Futuro House that has been turned into an Airbnb. According to a local media report, the clever concept was the brainchild of Ronald Jackson, who owns a piece of property in Joshua Tree which he has dubbed 'Area 55.' A few years ago, he came up with the idea of adding one of the iconic flying saucer-shaped homes to the spot, but found that acquiring a Futuro House was almost as difficult as capturing a genuine UFO.

Built in the 1960s and 70s by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen, there are only 85 Futuro Houses still in existence today and the vast majority of them are located outside the United States, which is believed to be home to a mere 15 of the residences. As such, Jackson had quite the challenge on his hands when it came to both locating the people who own these rare homes and convincing one of them to sell it to him. "It was putting pieces together like I was a detective almost," he recalled "and I was able to finally get in contact with a lovely family that was willing to part ways and we worked out a deal."
