"Some Airbnbs you book for the location, others you book for spectacular amenities-like the private pool or luxe hot tub. When you decide to stay in an Airbnb that's billed as "midcentury-modern," you're staying there for the concept-broadening your understanding of what a four-walled home can be and immersing yourself in architectural history. The design term "mid-mod" gets tossed around a lot, but not every home with a skinny-legged couch qualifies as such."
"According to Architectural Digest, a midcentury-modern home is one that likely emerged in the middle decades of the 20th century, expressing a range of post-war materials like steel, concrete, or insulated glass. For the most part, the design will reflect a stripping away of unnecessary ornament, as well as a few defining characteristics such as clean lines, floor-to-ceiling windows, open floor plans, wood, indoor-outdoor living, built-ins, and functionality."
Open floor plans, gigantic glass windows, and minimalist furniture characterize historic midcentury-modern Airbnbs across the country. These properties emphasize indoor-outdoor living, clean lines, built-ins, and functional design using post-war materials such as steel, concrete, and insulated glass. Many listings were created by midcentury architects like Charles Dubois and Robert Rummer and appear in destinations from Palm Springs to small towns in New Jersey. Guests often book for both location and standout amenities, including private pools and luxe hot tubs. Listings are chosen for Superhost status, ratings, amenities, location, decor, editor stays, and guest reviews, rewarding seekers with authentic architectural experiences.
