With so many unique accommodations in Virginia, it may be hard to justify staying the night in a generic hotel. Next time you visit the lovely town of Charlottesville, for example, why not stay the night in this adorably whimsical house fashioned out of recycled goods? The aptly-named Recycled House is located just four blocks from the downtown walking mall and promises an unforgettable getaway no matter where you may be traveling from.
Nestled in a quiet Charlottesville neighborhood awaits a hidden gem that promises an out-of-the-ordinary Charlottesville experience. This lovely tree house-esque home has an eco-friendly twist: nearly all materials used to build the house are repurposed.

The railing on the staircase, for example, used to be the framework for a futon. And if you look even closer, you’ll notice the croquet balls supporting the rail!
