The Yurt at Solitude

Talk about exclusive. If the fact that theYurt at Solitude(located in Solitude, Utah) only fits 24 guests at a time, only stays open for four hours a day, four days a week, doesn't allow anyone under 13 to dine there and costs $130 per person isn't enough, consider this: You have to walk a half-mile in the snow just to get there. The good news? At least the Yurt provides snowshoes.

The Redwoods Treehouse

The Rock

The Rock Restaurant

TheRock, located off the southeast coast of Zanzibar, is aptly named. Built on top of a massive rock in the Indian Ocean (which was originally used as a fisherman's post), the restaurant opened in 2010 and is accessible by foot . . . at least, during low tide. Otherwise, the restaurant offers a boat to shuttle you across the water.
