Decommissioned nuclear missile silo is turned into eerie Airbnb that sits deep ... trends now
A decommissioned nuclear missile silo deep under the Kansas countryside has been transformed into an eerie Airbnb.
The $300-a-night former weapons base is located in the Smoky Hills and sleeps up to four people.
The site was built in 1959 and remained active until 1965 during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Today, visitors are offered the chance to get up close with the Cold War relic, while still enjoying modern amenities including TVs, a microwave, fridge and coffee maker.
Images show the quirky accommodation, which is accessed by an ominous looking concrete door leading below ground.

'Over the last year, I've been working diligently with the power washing, demolition and rebuilding it into a destination where people can actually stay,' owner Matthew Fulkerson told KSN. 'I'm still in the process of finishing the lower areas.'
The bunker sits on a 24 acre campground offering further accommodation, but Fulkerson encourages all visitors to take a tour.
'Most [missile silos] are abandoned or in private hands,' he added. 'This is a very unique experience you can hardly find anywhere else in the world.'
