DALLAS — Whether you're expecting a visit from family or planning a staycation, Airbnb and other short-term rentals are increasingly popular options for some travelers – and North Texas cities have some unique options. 

From a micro-cabin house tucked away in the woods to a five-bedroom house with a hot tub and pool, Airbnb has a variety of homes for residents to stay in. 

Feel like glamping in a cozy cabin? Check out the most wish-listed rental in Dallas, which is in a neighborhood only 15 minutes from downtown. The rustic-wood cabin is crafted from pine felled and hand-planed in Boone, N.C., giving the microhouse a magnificent aroma and a quaint aesthetic. The house is in the owner’s own backyard, and is a charming retreat in the bustling city. 

If you're looking for a larger space, take a look at Plano’s top wish-listed home. The chic resort-style house contains gold and white accents in an open living room, including a fireplace to crowd around with family. The home also boasts a gourmet kitchen and a formal dining table for big nights in.
