Looking for the best Airbnb in Arizona for your next trip to the desert? We’re here to help you out with these suggestions.
There’s a reason snowbirds flock to Arizona for half of the year. With practically perfect winter weather and an abundance of sunshine all year long it’s hard to not enjoy your time in this southwest paradise.
You’ll find ancient saguaro cacti in the desert expanses of the south, unusual red rock formations in Sedona, and pine and aspen forests up north giving you a taste of the variety of impressive landscapes the state has to offer. The only thing that could make your trip even more memorable is finding the ideal Arizona Airbnb.
Airbnbs can be a great option when traveling as they allow you to stay in accommodations more unique to the area as opposed to setting up camp in a generic hotel room. They also allow you to connect with locals and often are kinder on your wallet than a hotel would be.
So go ahead and take a look through our list of unique suggestions and find the best Airbnb in Arizona for you.

Casita Del Rey
We should start by mentioning that this beautiful Tucson, Arizona Airbnb is home to Mediterranean miniature donkeys, horses, Nigerian Dwarf and Pygmy goats, and chickens. Visiting the animals is just one of the activities available on this impressive 5-acre property.

When you’re not visiting the animals you can cool off in the pool, shoot some hoops on the basketball court, relax in the courtyard, or grill at the BBQ pit.
And when you’re ready to venture outside the property to explore the rest of Tucson you’ll be happy to know that just a short drive will take you to downtown Tucson or to top-notch hiking trails in the Catalina Foothills.

The Kiva Cave Creek
We weren’t kidding when we said our suggestions were unique. This incredibly unusual Cave Creek, Arizona Airbnb is built underground in the form of a kiva with a little sleeping loft to crawl into at night (or a pull-out couch for the less nimble).
Kivas originated as structures designed by the southwest Pueblo people who created these underground rooms for ceremonial purposes.
Though this particular Airbnb in Arizona is largely underground, there are plenty of aboveground windows letting sunlight stream into the cozy space. And if you step outside you’ll find ancient saguaro cacti scattered around the desert and a refreshingly clear view of the stars lighting up the night sky.
You might also enjoy a vibrant Arizona sunset while sitting around the fire pit. This Cave Creek kiva is certainly an Arizona Airbnb experience you’ll be telling your friends about when you get home.
