They're ridiculously Instagrammable, environmentally friendly, and (often) plopped right in the middle of nature (which makes earthing away your jet lag a cinch). And while these design-y digs gained popularity in the '70s, there's no time like the present to embrace the trend and experience one for yourself.
And I'm not just talking about booking a trip to Epcot—Airbnb and VRBO both offer a slew of rentable listings across the country (and beyond), from Joshua Tree to Pittsburgh to British Columbia.

1. Joshua Tree, California, $140 per night

This dome is surrounded by juniper and cactus and has beautiful view of the Sedona red-rock spires.

It's essentially a great place to tap into the energy vortex...without stepping foot outside.
4. Duncan, British Columbia, $96 per night
