The year is just starting, and perhaps traveling more often and exploring different corners of the country are among your New Year's resolutions.
During your so-planned travel plans, choosing a place to stay can make a huge difference depending on the areas you want to explore in a city. However, if you’re looking to venture into a less-crowded region that might not even have hotel options located a few miles away from a town, Airbnb is often a great place to find unique accommodations.
Recently, Airbnb released the most wish-listed new stays around the world, and a New Mexico home located in the desert area of El Prado made it to the list.
Known as the "Taos Skybox Stargazer High Desert Retreat," this rectangle-shaped home is set on 30 acres of private land and makes it the ideal spot to enjoy the dark skies and stargaze all night — no wonder why the owners name the house like that.
Despite staying far from the noise and busy areas, the town of Taos is only a 15-min drive away from this particular stay.
This place is an eco-conscious one-bedroom/one-restroom modern home equipped with a cool deck that will become the perfect spot to look at the stars and nature around you.

Once you go inside, you’ll find a spacious bedroom, a bathroom with a floor-to-ceiling tiled shower, and a washer and dryer for all your laundry needs. The kitchen is equipped with an oven and a stove that will let you prepare a casual meal while still enjoying the desert surroundings.
If you’re a coffee enthusiast, don’t worry! Your stay comes with freshly ground coffee for you to sip on while having a relaxing time in the living room area.
"This is a quaint, unique place in the middle of the high desert. The stars and sunrise are phenomenal," one reviewer wrote in the New Mexico stay. "It’s a sweet getaway for the remarkable experience of being in a self-sustaining shipping container-like home. It’s very nicely decorated and has all the amenities needed."
So, if you’re looking for a nice desert adventure, reserving a night or two in this exclusive Airbnb home might sound like the perfect plan.
