If you’re all about that carb life, we’ve just found the destination of your next holiday.
Over in South Boise, Idaho, you can now book a stay in a giant potato.
Not a real potato, to be clear. We don’t think a pile of potential mash would be structurally sound.
Nope, this is a six tonne, 28-foot long, 12-foot wide, and 11.5-foot tall potato made of steel, plaster and concrete, originally created by the Idaho Potato Commission to promote the best vegetable of them all.
The fake potato toured the state for six years on the back of a truck.
When the tour was done, the Idaho Potato Commission were at a bit of a loss when it came to what to do with their giant potato baby, until a tiny house developer, Kristie Wolfe, approached them.
Kristie suggested turning the potato into a rental home.
The Idaho Potato Commission agreed and gave her free rein to do whatever she fancied with it.
She turned the potato into a rather lovely one-bedroom property, planted in a large field with views of the Owyhee Mountains.
It’s pretty remarkable inside, including a queen-sized bed, an indoor fireplace, air conditioning (so you won’t feel like a baked potato), and a bathroom.
There are plenty of plants and pops of pink for decoration, to make your stay as Instagram-worthy as possible.
The room allows for two people to stay for $200 (£154) a night.
