A Cold War-era missile silo in rural northeast Kansas that housed a nuclear warhead 65 years ago and was later converted into an underground mansion is now finding a new lease on life as an Airbnb, which are privately owned residences that are offered online for short-term rental. It’s located in rural Wabaunsee County, about 15 miles (25 kilometers) southwest of Topeka.
Matthew Fulkerson, 37, is the host for Subterra, and said it was his idea to turn the site into an Airbnb. “I see it as becoming a destination,” he said, adding that the base has already been featured in several media outlets. In addition to a main-floor bedroom, Airbnb guests at Subterra will have a full kitchen, private bathroom, laundry services and a fireplace which gives a “nice, cozy feeling in the fall and winter months,” Fulkerson said.
