The Phoenix House in Pahoa, Hawaii
Courtesy of Airbnb
Here’s the pitch: a tiny home set atop a lava field next to an active volcano. This two-story paradise puts you right in the center of the action and on top of some of Earth’s newest land—igneous rock formed due to eruptions from the nearby Mauna Loa volcano. Sustainability is at the core of this home’s purpose; it’s powered by solar energy, and its only source of water comes from collected rain. Note: Quiet hours are instituted from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. (since sound carries easily over the lava). If you’re looking for some peace and quiet, this could be the ideal escape for you.
