In a world with endless competition, Airbnb might have found the perfect way to beat it in the hotel industry. Alternatives to overpriced and expensive accommodation destinations are on the rise at a small fee within the same vicinity as the expensive hotel counterparts. The development has come to the rescue for most middle-class members out for an equally good time.

The latest development under the Airbnb listing is something unheard of from the history of men and innovators. They are putting a giant potato into industrial use. Not that they are peeling it for crisps or French fries, no, for accommodation purposes!

The giant potato, called the Big Idaho Potato Hotel is strategically located in Idaho. For a night’s experience inside a potato, you only get to pay about $200. The giant potato isn’t like a real potato but epitomizes one, in a massive six tone structure placed in the middle of a vast field.

The giant potato has been specially designed and assembled by steel, plaster, and concrete and colored just perfectly like the potato in your garden or kitchen.

It is strategically placed for occupants to view the Owyhee Mountains in Boise, Idaho properly. The interior looks like the starch in potato apart from the fact that it's not real starch.

Innovation and creativity took its time to assemble thoughts into this giant potato’s contents. It is self-contained with everything a house should have including a bathroom, fireplace, kitchen and the conditions are perfect!

Unknown to most people until now, the giant potato was initially a project by the Idaho Potato Commission. The concept has however thrived under a home developer's efforts.

The giant structure originally spent its days under the scorching sun, on the road, behind a truck traveling all across the USA. The Potato Commission soon dropped the initiative and got rid of the potato. Its life would have ended there or worse, in a dumpster.

However, fate led it into the hands of a house developer who quickly saw the opportunity in the structure. Kristie Wolfe decided to turn it into an accommodation site and fortunate enough, the idea has thrived immensely.

Charges attached to the potato experience include $200 daily fee, $31 service fee and miscellaneous and taxes account for another $16. In total, it demands about $247 a day to be a potato inhabitant.
