Summer is here, and the opportunities to do something fun and unique are quickly passing us by. What if there was a chance to take a trip to Manitowoc to stay at the most unique Airbnb, or rather, subbnb, in Wisconsin?

A No-Frills Stay With a Ton of History

It's certainly no frills when it comes to the amenities, but if you've wanted to live like a sailor on a sub that saw actual warfare, how can you pass this up?

I am sure the price fluctuates depending on when you want to stay, but for a one-night stay (August 3 through August 4), it was $799 per night, so you should be aware that it's going to be expensive going in.

Then again, how many of us can say we spent a night on a historic sub? Sounds like it's worth the money to me.
