The Glass House Experience

Watch: Sink your fangs into this 'True Blood' home

The advice about throwing stones never rang more true. The house of glass designed by the late architect Philip Johnson sits on 49 acres alongside a pond in quiet New Canaan, Connecticut.

For only $30,000, an overnight stay in the house is yours, plus free range of the grounds and the dozen other structures, including the sculpture gallery, painting gallery, and the ghost house, a 350 square foot house made of steel and chains. There's also a tower Johnson called a "staircase to nowhere" and a separate library with a reading room he considered a "monk's cell."

You can't take it home with you, but you can soak in the scenery and eat up a meal -- the price includes a locally-sourced dinner for 10.
