With an octagonal shape and thick coats of black paint, this is definitely one of the creepiest (and coolest) Airbnbs we’ve ever seen.
While most people embellish their homes in shades of black during theHalloween season , there are some of us who do n’t ask a vacation to embrace our inner duskiness . We suspect the owner ofthis Airbnb in Lincoln , Illinois , is one of those citizenry . With an inexplicably creepy octagonal shape and black paint plow every airfoil , this “ Goth House ” ( named by the host ) is really the stuff nightmares are made of — and we mean that as the gamey compliment .
This 1,500 - square - base menage was to begin with built in 1993 , but it receive a unadulterated overhaul in 2021 . According to the owner’spersonal story onNewsweek , the overhaul admit reconstructing the bedrooms and adding some exterior feature film ( including a pergola and flame pit ) , but most of the changes were enhancive : namely adding a black roof and black siding , and paint the service department and all internal walls inglorious . Even the landscaping John Rock were swapped out for mordant ones . The aesthetics are especially shine given the family ’s localization in the heart of a residential neighborhood — it feels like the Addams Family resolve to move to the suburbs .
Despite its inky color , the house continue amazingly bright thanks to white trimming , scores of window , and skylights in the chief bedchamber . Some of the abode ’s original features are still place upright — including the very coolheaded spiral staircase connect the two levels — but the Interior feel quite modern with contemporary igniter habitue and neon mansion on the bulwark . ( “ savor the journey , ” say the sign of the zodiac in the living room , while the sleeping room is emblazon with “ The world is yours . ” )

Aside from two bedrooms and an capable living / dining area , the Goth House have two lav that are — surprise!—completely black with white tile oeuvre . The overlord bathroom on the top flooring is in particular stunning , with a walk - in marble shower that looks or so the size of a New York studio apartment . On the lower floor , Edgar Guest also have access to a fully - equipped caboose kitchen with granite countertop .
Lincoln , Illinois , is a great town to visit during the fall calendar month , especially if you may join one of the many ghost duty tour in the business district area . The city is about two minute aside from St. Louis and two - and - a - one-half hours fromChicago , making it a utterly spooky weekend lam for Midwesterners .
The Goth House has enough quad for nine guests , and it iscurrently lean at $ 214 per night . The listing has an telling valuation of 4.92 , with customers praise the “ great neighborhood ” and “ awing chocolate bar . ” One Edgar Albert Guest also raved , “ The interior designer for this house deserves an laurels ! ” We totally agree .
