17 AirBNB Cabins With the Best Rustic Style

It’s hard to imagine a vacation destination that’s cozier than a cabin. Whether it’s a remote cottage, an elegant chalet, or a rustic villa—a cabin-based getaway is hard to top, especially during the calendar’s coldest months. Cabins are, in fact, so incredibly cozy that sometimes just looking at them can make you feel like you’re on vacation. When a getaway simply isn’t on the menu, pulling up photos of Airbnb’s prettiest cabins can serve as its own kind of escape. Spend an afternoon fawning over their delightfully rustic decor—with a cup of hot cocoa in hand, of course—and you’ll feel like you just took a trip to the forest, the mountains, or some particularly woodsy corner of your neighborhood.

When most of us envision a cabin vacation, we imagine ourselves in the mountains—or at the very least, in some remote portion of the woods. But spend a few minutes perusing Airbnb’s cabin selection, and you’ll quickly realize that cozy getaways are available just about anywhere. You can find creekside retreats in the Catskills, treehouse apartments in the Appalachian mountains, and cozy adobes in the Southwestern United States. Even beach houses—when visited out of season—can be surprisingly restful. (And few sights are prettier than a snow-lined beach with absolutely no one on it.)

Cozy cabins abound. And if you’re willing to expand your sights a little, you’re bound to find one within driving distance of you. Sure, jet-setting to Chamonix with a suitcase of apres-ski clothing in tow may not be in the cards anytime soon. But that doesn’t make the vacations that are available to you any less idyllic. And if you simply can’t swing a trip right now, embrace the joys of a virtual getaway. Lose yourself in a cozy Airbnb cabin rabbit hole for a few hours. Who knows? You might emerge with a few new rustic decor ideas to implement in your own home.

Private Creekside Retreat (Kingston, New York)

Boasting 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, Kingston’s Private Creekside Retreat is larger than many traditional cabins. But it offers all the rustic charm you’d expect upon seeing its log-lined exterior.

Design Meets Refuge (Geyserville, California)

Though Geyserville’s Design Meets Refuge is technically a cottage, it’s more of a rustic studio.

Step outside, and you’ll find hay bales, goats, horses—and a line of stunning California trees.
