Chalet Antonia

Though complete with all modern comforts, the newly refurbished Chalet Antonia in Tyrol, Austria is delightfully traditional.

Ideally located in the valley of Zillertal, 1100 m above the sea level, the ski cottage accommodates six guests in three charming wooden bedrooms. In contrast with the rustic character of the rooms, bathrooms are strikingly modern and come with underfloor heating, while the beautifully equipped kitchen features gorgeous panoramic views of the mountains.

Further amenities include Wi-Fi, flat-screen TV, sauna, and a ski-boot heater, but it’s the convenient location only 800m from the Hochzillertal/Hochfügen ski area that really makes this property an enchanting base for skiers, hikers, and anyone who wants a unique stay in the mountains.

Guy Transformed His Jeep Into A Moving House To Travel Around Africa (43 pics)

A guy named Dan turned his 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (4 door) Rubicon into “a house on wheels” to drive in Africa for 2 years. As he has already driven from Alaska to Argentina and knew exactly what he wanted his car to have for a comfortable travel/housing. Dan said: “My build focused on interior living space, strong 4x4, and it had to fit inside a standard 20-foot shipping container.” Here’s how his has transformed his Wrangler.

"First, the finished project: My house on wheels completed."

"The beginning: My new Jeep"
"I started by stripping the entire interior. No backseat for me."

"I had a plan to create a lot of interior living space, so the stock roll bar had to move. I was too timid to cut it myself, so that's my buddy, who was all too happy to cut up my Jeep."

"My friends and I made a new roll bar that's much further out of the way."

"Dad and I designed this interior cabinet layout without having the Jeep in front of us. I built it exactly — mirrored — so the fridge is behind the passenger, not the driver. It doesn't allow the seat to go all the way back, which I need to drive."

"After lining the tub with dynamat and lino, I built cabinet frames out of aluminum tube and corner connectors. The whole setup was designed around a 35 L Dometic fridge mounted behind the front passenger seat."

"I lined the cabinets with plywood — light and durable. I was too tired to take progress shots."

"Another view. The ones up high on the left can un-clip and fit in the isle to make a flat sleeping platform when needed."
