Unimog From 'Walking Dead' Air BnB Takes Glamping to Another Level

Unique Accommodation in Rural Alabama

An Airbnb listing in rural Alabama offers a distinctive lodging experience featuring a 1966 Mercedes Unimog, famously showcased in post-apocalyptic TV shows like "The Walking Dead" and "The Hunger Games." Priced at $102 per night, this off-road transport vehicle has become a stationary RV, albeit not for driving. Accessing the site involves a 1.25-mile ride from the nearest road, adding an element of adventure and seclusion to the stay.

A Rustic Retreat Amidst Wilderness

Situated on a 105-acre property in Kimberly, Alabama, this off-grid spot promises an escape from urban chaos. However, potential guests should note the peculiar adornment—the Unimog's windshield bears dried "zombie blood," reflecting its on-screen history. Besides the Unimog, the site offers a large gazebo with an enclosed bathroom and an upper deck for open-air camping. An observation tower, accessible only by ladder, provides an ideal spot for stargazing.

The Unimog's Transformation

Originally a German communications vehicle, this 1966 Unimog now serves as a simple RV, featuring a double mattress/futon as the main sleeping compartment. Its film history adds to the allure, having appeared in multiple Georgia-based productions, including iconic shows like "The Walking Dead" and "The Hunger Games." The Airbnb owners have converted it into a cozy space, accommodating two guests comfortably.

Outdoor Activities and Amenities

Aside from the unique accommodation, guests can indulge in miles of hiking trails and fishing opportunities during their stay. The setting allows kayaking or tubing down the nearby Locust Fork River, located a quarter-mile away, while a fire pit offers a chance to unwind and make s'mores. However, the off-grid nature means no modern conveniences like AC, WiFi, or consistent cell reception, making it crucial for visitors to plan accordingly.

A Memorable, Off-Grid Experience

While the stay at MOG Mountain promises a unique retreat, it's vital for potential guests to consider the off-grid aspects carefully. Limited amenities and rustic conditions offer an immersive experience, with the added thrill of staying in an iconic vehicle tied to post-apocalyptic pop culture. Despite its quirks, this Airbnb spot caters to adventure seekers and fans looking for an unconventional, memorable escape.

Pet-Friendly

MOG Mountain is pet-friendly, welcoming furry companions at no extra cost, with specific breed restrictions. Guests interested in booking are advised to review the listing's comprehensive details and embrace the rustic, nature-centric experience at "The AirBnB to help you survive the zombie apocalypse!"
