Old Fountain Soda Shop Transformed into Charming Illinois Airbnb
You can put this on your "I have to see it to believe" list because yes this unique and charming candy shop Airbnb does exist.
Most of us are looking for spring break locations, well if you have kids, or you're a kid yourself, I found it. Located in Greenup, Illinois you will find The Candy Kitchen. A once old soda foundation transformed into one of the most unique Airbnbs you will ever see.
You will take a step back in time in this 1930s candy/soda shop that was once owned by an immigrant family from Greece until the 1960s. It has since been transformed into a spacious and unique Airbnb experience. The original soda fountain is still intact with a kitchen, bathroom, and living space too.

Greenup, Illinois is part of the Charleston–Mattoon Micropolitan Statistical Area and is close to the Indiana border. So it's a drive but how cool would it be to stay at a place like this? I have never stayed in an Airbnb, but this would change my mind. I wonder if you can make old-fashioned sodas and candy still? I guess we will have to stay there to find out.
