Superhost Shannon’s retreat in the Rockies elevates the geodesic dome to an art form—and to 9,817 feet above sea level. Hike, bike, and fish nearby, or take a day trip to Breckenridge Ski Resort. With a backyard yurt and fenced-in dog run, it’s also a paradise for kids and canines. If you bring yours (either variety), just be prepared to promise a return visit. Photo: @thevistadome

Once you come down, it’s up to you whether to spend your time deep inside this tub or deep inside a bowl of bibim milmyeon, the spicy local noodle specialty. Photo: @so__nni_

This studio in a 17th-century building across from the Duomo is for solo travelers only, but please don’t do anything rash.

Dani, your Superhost, designed the place for creative solitude, but you’ll hardly feel alone. Just ask and she’ll point you to her favorite walks and restaurants away from the crowds.
