— -- Airbnb pulled down a New Yorker's listing, offering a $200-per-night stay inside an igloo he erected in his own backyard. The company said, although you can't stay inside the frozen dome, there are plenty of other options for travelers interested in a unique overnight experience.

"While the igloo in Brooklyn received a gold star for creativity, it sadly had to be removed as it didn't meet home safety standards..." a spokesperson for the rent-a-room service told ABC News. "Fans can still satisfy that need for adventure by choosing from so many other quirky and unique listings on Airbnb."

If you don't mind being in the doghouse, travelers should check out Dog Bark Park Inn B&B in Cottonwood, Idaho. This beagle-shaped bread and breakfast offers views of "prairie grain fields and surrounding mountains," the listing reads, for $98 per night. And fido can also come along since pets are, of course, welcome.

Here are some other unique options Airbnb has on its site that won't get taken down:
