6 Amazing Cannabis-Friendly Airbnb for Your Next Vacation
As of 2022, only twenty-one states, Guam, and Washington, DC, have legalized recreational weed. Traveling to taste and see quality in marijuana out of your element or I should say your state, is something to be excited about. You ask why? Because a vast majority of Americans love to travel! They also travel to get non-medical weed products. They travel for work, pleasure, or just a change of scenery. This gap opens promising possibilities for hospitality entities in legal states to harness the full potential of marijuana tourism. In some of these jurisdictions, cannabis vacation rentals are the new normal! However, most state laws require you to use cannabis on private property only, leaving visitors with two options: Light up in a hotel and hope you do not get caught, or rent a cannabis-friendly Airbnb for your next vacation.
Ever since recreational legalization, Americans have been using more weed than ever before, drawing tourists from all over to come to established and budding markets for marijuana-infused experiences. From 420-friendly rentals, dispensaries, and guided tours to customized cannabis lounges, there are no dull moments in those states or countries. Owners of Airbnbs that label themselves as “cannabis-friendly” are cool with you using cannabis on their property, but how do you find these Airbnbs? And what ones are most popular? First things first, how do you know if an Airbnb is 420-friendly? Well, the best course of action to find an Airbnb that allows cannabis use is to conduct a Google search of various terms along with the word “Airbnb” and your desired location.
Since Airbnb does not make it very easy to find these properties - for example, there are no cannabis filters when choosing a property - hosts usually write “cannabis-friendly” or something similar in the title or the listing description. So, not sure where to launch your “canna-cation?” These must-try destinations are your best bet!
Rancho de Colores
Joshua Tree, California
This is a three-bedroom home located in the desert. The house is entirely pink, with rainbow colors adorning every inch of the interior and exterior. This house is also decked with psychedelic art, creating a trippy experience for your Mojave desert getaway. The home also includes an above-ground pool, a fire pit, and more, perfect for throwing some “lit” 420 parties.
Cannabis Garden Apartment
Juneau, Alaska
This two-bedroom apartment is more than just a 420-friendly Airbnb—it is also a grow house. But the property’s biggest seller might be the large back patio overlooking the Alaska wilderness. There is a good chance you will see wildlife in the surrounding forests. But do not think this apartment is out in the middle of the woods. It is centrally located in Juneau, surrounded by many restaurants and shops. The best attractions are either a walk or a short drive away. All the owners request you smoke joints and blunts outside.
Cannabis-Friendly Cabin
Harrison, Maine
If childhood summer camps are a fond memory for you, you will love staying at this cabin in Harrison, Maine. Located on the Crooked River, this Airbnb offers a variety of outdoor and river activities. The owner owns 17 acres of the surrounding forest where you can hike, fish, mountain bike, kayak, and more. The home has a queen-sized bed, but your guests can set up their tents and camp outside. The home also has air conditioning and a shower house.
Winter Park
Colorado (Rocky Mountains Ski Area)
Winter Park, Colorado, is a premier adventure town for all things winter fun (which, of course, includes cannabis). It is an excellent yet underrated 420 travel destination with access to numerous dispensaries and fewer crowds. Winter Park has something for everyone—from the avid skier looking for choppy moguls to the beginner starting on the bunny slopes and access to other great winter sports as well. Once you are ready to unwind after a long day on the slopes, you only have to travel a mile to kick back at this nearby cannabis-friendly lodge. They have some excellent cannabis services to offer, like a cannabis-infused massage to relax after your long day of skiing. Or start the party early with their airport pickup service that stops at a local dispensary along the way.
Colorful Casa Next to the Strip
Las Vegas, Nevada
Color Casa is a cute little condo next to the strip. It is excellent for traveling groups looking for a unique place off the strip. The owner is a teacher, recently engaged, and she is sharing her former bachelorette pad to help me save for her wedding! She has hired a professional management team to cater to your needs and ensure the home is clean and prepared for every arrival.

It’s not just about weed, either.

Liberal weed laws set a stage for dynamic pot experiences, even for avid travelers. Whether you like fancy 420-friendly cruises or vacation rentals, marijuana can complement different lifestyles. The collaboration between cannabis enthusiasts and tourism professionals turns recreational weed into a popular travel theme, branded cannabis tourism. So what is keeping you from indulging in canna tourism with all the trimmings?
