    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    Puppies are irresistible. We fall in love with their big eyes, little button noses, fluffy tails, and clumsy paws. And yet, like any pet, puppies grow up and turn into dogs. Some breeds, like the Old English Sheepdog or Great Dane, will grow to become larger in size than most people. But not all dogs are destined to become giants. There are some breeds that stay small in size even when they're fully grown. You may want a forever puppy if you are used to smaller animals. Maybe you have a small apartment or just want a canine companion that you can easily carry along with you anywhere you go. Small dogs are also great for families with young children or those of senior age who are best matched with a breed they can physically handle. Fortunately, some specialty dog breeds are mixed to look like puppies throughout their entire lives—and they are sure to melt your heart the second you lay your eyes on them.

When you think of Airbnb in the context of planning a wedding, your mind likely jumps to a honeymoon oasis in the heart of a faraway destination. What you probably haven't considered, though, is that that oasis can be home to infinitely more than your first married trip—believe it or not, there are Airbnbs out there that are rentable as actual wedding venues. For many couples, this is a major game changer, especially for those who thought planning a destination wedding was a bit too far beyond their price range.

We're here to tell you that your dream celebration is far more attainable than you thought. With a plethora of locations—both domestic and abroad!—Airbnb is a viable venue option for just about any couple in any part of the country. And if you thought that bypassing a standard venue option, like a banquet hall or public space that frequently hosts wedding, means skimping on amenities, think again. The following Airbnbs are all equipped to handle your celebration, whatever its size. The best part? The majority of these options allow you and your guests to celebrate and stay at the residence, which ultimately makes for a more festive (and affordable) wedding weekend. The only essential note? Before you book an Airbnb for your big day, make sure the hosts allow on-site events.

Though size is obviously the top priority when choosing a wedding venue (Airbnb types, included!), style is obviously important, as well. That's why the pros at the rental site helped us curate a diverse list of location styles, from mountain lodges and feminine gardens to beach oases and wine country retreats. Ahead, a complete guide to Airbnb wedding venues, both foreign and domestic. Click through to discover if there's a location here that fits your vision for your big day.

Greenhouse & Gardens

The opening line of this Los Angeles vendor's Airbnb listing says it all: "If you've always wanted a backyard wedding, but don't have the backyard...you can rent mine." Many couples have done just that with much success—a scroll through the listing's romantic wedding photo reel is proof. Designed to host between 50 and 60 guests, this April-to-November rental is located in the Walnut Acres neighborhood of Woodland Hills in a gated estate with over a half-acre of redwoods, birch trees, and white roses (talk about garden wedding vibes!). The price for the ceremony and reception totals in at $2,500—but, beyond lighting, you'll have to bring in your own vendors.

Arguably one of the most modern, luxury-oriented venues on this list, Vista Hermosa Estate, located in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, offers the entire package. It's terrace—which overlooks the Pacific Ocean—holds 40 people for your small celebration; the rest of the property runs like a boutique hotel (an infinity pool, private chef, and maid service are included). These next-level amenities explain the property's hefty price tag, which starts at $1,700 per night.

Invite up to 200 guests to this private, beachfront mansion in Ensenada, Mexico, which comes with its own events coordinator. Though the going wedding rate starts at a pricey $19,000, this includes a three-night stay at the estate. That total number will likely go up, though, depending on the number of guests that plan on attending and staying on the property.

La Selva

These Tuscan villas—the main house is called La Selva—are surrounded by centuries-old oaks, olive groves, and meadows across 32 acres in the Chianti hills. The secluded venue comes with its own stone amphitheater and pavilion, both of which are perfect ceremony sites. The property's most unique feature, however, has nothing to do with its land: The local town's mayor often steps in to perform civil ceremonies. As for guest residences? Attendees have access to three villas, which sleep around 30, total. A long list of same-day amenities are available upon request, which might impact the base $1,358 per night charge.

Delenia

Renting Delenia, a series of six villas tucked into an undiscovered beach in Athens, Greece, is more like borrowing an entire village for a weekend. The secluded oasis, however, isn't inaccessible—located just two hours away from Athens International Airport, the residence is as convenient as it is beautiful. Though the main buildings already house a significant number of guests, a restored barn that sleeps eight to ten more is available upon request. Rates start from $566 per night.

Plan a traditional English garden wedding at this Bedford property, located just thirty minutes from London. The residence's rose and clematis garden hosts up to 150 guests; the Observatory House, which was originally built in 1825, sleeps just over 20. The $1,212 base rate is subject to change, since the total tally revolves around your number of guests not staying overnight (there's an additional nine-euro charge for each non-residential attendee).

The Best Wedding Venues in the South

This massive Montrose, Pennsylvania, venue takes the log cabin to new heights. The six-bedroom rental overlooks a 45-acre lake (a pontoon boat is also available to rent if a water exit is in the cards!). While you won't be able to sleep your 50 guests here for $1,744 per night, the venue is certainly large and centrally located enough for a larger outdoor event.
