TOP 10 QUIRKIEST HOTELS IN THE U.S.

TripAdvisor assembled a list of the quirkiest hotels in the U.S. Vacation at any of these, and you'll really have something to write home about:

1. McMenamins Kennedy School in Portland, OR -- Miss the fun and challenge of school? You might still be able to smell the chalk here, since the guestrooms in this renovated school were once classrooms.
2. Forget-Me-Not Lodge and the Aurora Express in Fairbanks, AK -- Anyone can ride the rails, but here you can spend the night in a restored railroad car on permanent tracks. Just don't count on it to actually transport you anywhere other than dreamland.
3. Dog Bark Park Inn in Cottonwood, ID -- Ever want to get inside your dog's head? If you visit here, you can sleep in it! The building is shaped like the world's biggest beagle.
4. Kokopelli Cave Bed and Breakfast in Farmington, NM -- This sandstone lair is actually carved into the side of a cliff, making it easy to commune with nature.
5. Victorian Mansion at Los Alamos in Los Alamos, CA -- This isn't your typical Victorian decor. Eccentric room themes here include gypsies, pirates and the '50s. To access the hidden bathroom in the Egyptian Suite, tug the beard of the life-size King Tut.
6. Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge in Eureka Springs, AK -- You don't have to go on an African safari to get up close with nature's big cats, since tigers, lions and cougars are kept in enclosures just outside the rooms.
7. Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, AZ -- Book a night here, and you can sleep in a wigwam along Route 66.
8. Adobe Grand Villas in Sedona, AZ -- Continuing the cowboys and Indians theme, when you stay here, you sleep in a covered wooden wagon.
9. Shady Dell RV Park in Bisbee, AZ -- The travel trailers are decked out like an authentic '50s diner and a yacht.
10. Winvian in Morris, CT -- Relive your childhood and sleep in a tree house or fulfill your childhood dreams and sleep in a restored U.S. Coast Guard helicopter.
