While most of America’s east coast downed tools on Friday and hunkered down for a weekend of snow storms, one ingenious New Yorker decided to take full advantage.

The Brooklyn resident built an igloo (in what appears to be their back garden) and then listed it for $200 (£140) a night on Airbnb.

Because when life gives you snow, why not build an igloo and charge through the nose for it?

The ad for the ‘Boutique Winter Igloo for two’ was also shared on Imgur and was described as ‘the Snopocalypse of 2016’s most desirable getaway.’


Available for a limited time only.

‘Dripping with ingenuity and alt-lifestyle aura lays the Snopocalypse of 2016’s most desirable getaway,’ the full description reads. ‘Hand-crafted, and built using only natural elements – we’re offering the experience of a life time in this chic dome-style bungalow for you and bae.’



They’ve really gone all-out with the decor. Nothing says fresh like plastic-covered pillows.

And there’s the welcoming pine outside the front door. Nice touch.

It looks pretty cosy, lack of toilet facilities, and structural problems aside.

Alas, our dreams of renting a bonafide ‘chic dome-style bungalow’ in the middle of Brooklyn have already been dashed.

Airbnb has already removed the listing.

Spoilsports.
