Ideas: original places to spend the night.

This region has a large number of ordinary, average places to sleep: B&Bs, vacation rentals, hotels, campgrounds and you name it. Ever more bidding against each other because one would be better than the other: even more stars, even more product offerings on the breakfast table, and so on. "Been there, done that." However, there are also several original overnight places. They can be special because of their unique location, their unique concept, their history, and so on. We reach out to a few ideas here.
