Advertising art director Patrick M. Horton, who lives in Brooklyn, NY, with his roommates, decided the blizzard of 2016 was the perfect opportunity to build an igloo (technically a quinzhee). After three hours of work, they posted the snow-structure on Airbnb for 200 USD with the following description:
“Dripping with ingenuity and alt-lifestyle aura lays the Snopocalypse of 2016’s most desirable getaway,” read the ad on Airbnb. “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.”
Update: “Unfortunately, your igloo, while very well constructed, has failed to meet our occupancy standards and has been removed from search results,” – was the response from Airbnb.
