If you love vintage Americana, especially in the form of cool, restored trailers from the 1940s and 50s, a night at the Shady Dell in Bisbee, Arizona needs to be added to your to do list. With nine trailers to choose (including an Airstream, a boat, and the Tiki Bus seen above) decorated with vintage mid-century modern decor, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time.

As avid collectors, the owners have carefully selected, restored and furnished an impressive array of vintage trailers. When they're not calling the Shady Dell home, they're off in search of their next great vintage find. The interiors are filled with furniture and decor of yesteryear and you'll feel right at home amongst the pink flamingos. If you've ever wanted to cruise the highways in a vintage trailer, this is definitely the next best thing.

Prices range from $50-130 per night, and it looks to be a fun place to hang out, cook some dinner on the grill and spend a night underneath an Arizona sky.

The Shady Dell is also home to Dot's Diner, a cute breakfast and lunch joint, that will help you fulfill your retro experience.

    That tiki bus is almost too awesome to look at.
