Potato Hotel After a successful nationwide campaign, the Idaho Potato Commission has transformed its enormous potato-shaped advertisement into a hotel.
Embrace the bold approach: "Go big, or go home!" The American state of Idaho proudly showcases its uniquely flavored potatoes in unexpectedly creative ways wherever it can. Idaho takes great pride in its potatoes, even featuring them on vehicle license plates.
The six-ton tuber toured across the United States before settling down in Idaho. The giant hollowed-out potato is located thirty minutes by car from Boise, Idaho, and it's made of steel and concrete.
The tuber, 12/foot (3.5 meters) wide and high and 28/foot (8.5 meters) long, is available for rent on the popular online room and house rental platform, AirBnB.
The hotel's designer and landlord is Kristie Wolfe, a former employee of the potato company which toured agricultural fairs throughout the United States.
The Big Idaho Potato Tour's mission was to promote the crops of the northwestern U.S. state. Before it was converted into a hotel, the giant potato has carried its weight across 48 states over seven years.
Wolfe fed up with the neverending road trip, suggested turning the tuber into an unusual property. After two years of interior remodeling and decorating, the Potato Hotel was ready to receive its first guests.
The property opened its doors on April 22, 2019. Now, it's happily nestled in a 1,000-acre (1.6-square-kilometer) farmland.
The pastel-colored interior measures 26x13x10 feet (8x4x3 meters), and it has a double bed, a kitchen, a fireplace, and air conditioning.
The bathroom is in a separate building outside.
Dolly, the British breed cow, is playful and might try to steal your veggies. She loves hugging and licking people's faces!
If you want to feed Dolly, there is a cow treat machine outside the Potato Hotel.
She is also willing to pose for photos and will accompany you during your stay!
