Living off the grid in a camper van may be the dream for many, but it certainly is a drastic move. Before jumping into a full-fledged Boho lifestyle, you might want to consider dipping your toes in an overnight experience first.

Camper and Cabin, which hosts several unique accommodations including a couple of glass cabins, on Airbnb, offers a sampler with their vintage Airstream – the first Airstream to offer such an accommodation in the Philippines.

The Airstream is a 25-foot travel trailer that has been around since the 1930s and features an impressive build with modern comforts for globe-trotting travelers (including a kitchen and a bed) who want to truly make the road their home. It is currently available in the US, but thanks to Camper and Cabin, folks in the Philippines can now have a taste of this iconic camper van.

The camper comfortably accommodates two, but guests can bring along up to two kids. Kids ages 2 to 7 stay for free. An overnight stay costs P12,500.

Location

While guests can’t exactly take the Airstream on road trips, the van is parked atop of a hill in Calaca, Batangas, offering refreshing mountainside views of Tagaytay. Sunrises and sunsets are simply divine from this viewpoint, with balmy weather to boot.

Those who want to make a quick stop to Tagaytay’s famous spots are in luck: Chapel on the Hill and Calaruega are within a 3-minute drive, while pilgrims can make their way to Mountain of Salvation in Batangas within a minute.

Other nearby attractions include Twin Lakes and Sandari Batulao. Nasugbu’s beaches are 30 minutes away by car.

Camper and Cabin prides itself as the first Airstream accommodation in the Philippines. With its seamless blend of thoughtful design and its location’s natural surroundings, one can enjoy the spirit of camping while embracing the comforts of a luxury hotel.
