One of the best ways to travel in Montenegro is to live locally — either by trying local foods, taking bus journeys alongside Montenegrins, or choosing a local accommodation over a hotel. While food and transportation are better explained in my Ultimate Guide to Montenegro (click to check it out), I can help with finding local accommodations.
I want to preface this by saying that Montenegro is filled with stunning/gorgeous/breathtaking/(insert adjective here) views, and it would be a total disservice to the country if I were to put some boring accommodations on here, wouldn’t you agree? ;)
Which is why I chose only the most unique accommodations and Airbnbs in Montenegro! From sunny beachside villas to mountain cabins, luxe penthouses to idyllic local stone houses, and everything in between, I’m sure you’ll find at least a few places to add to your wishlist.
Likewise, when researching this blog post, I left no city behind! From amazing Airbnbs in Kotor to apartments with bay views in Budva, to smaller and less-touristy cities like Ulcinj and Herceg Novi, and even going up north to the mountains, I present… the best guest houses, apartments, and Airbnbs in Montenegro!
Idemo! (Let’s go!)

✨ CLAIM TO FAME: It’s literally a mushroom-shaped house!
💵 PRICE: Starting at $50 USD/night
If you’ve had enough of historic stone houses, luxury all-inclusive resorts, and generic hotels, then there’s only one thing to do… Stay in a mushroom!
No, I’m not kidding. There’s literally a mushroom-shaped house above the hills of Kolašin, just waiting for you to visit.
The space is divided into two levels: the ground floor is made up of a living room, small kitchen, and bathroom, while the upstairs is one giant (mush)room — geddit? Ok ok, I’ll stop now. What I’m saying is, just book it. I’m sure you’ll be the most fungi in your group of friends.
