Enjoy Snowy Days and Starry Nights at This Winter Cabin Airbnb in Iowa

When the weather turns colder in the Hawkeye State, we don't shy away from it. On the contrary, we embrace winter in Iowa! From holly jolly holiday events to amazing fun festivals, places to go, and all the amazing things to do during winter in Iowa, us Iowans certainly squeeze a lot into the season. But that means we also need to take time to decompress, kick back and enjoy the short, snowy days and the long, clear nights under star-speckled skies. And there may be no better place to do just that than this cozy winter Airbnb cabin in Iowa along the Upper Iowa River, near Dorchester.

Tucked in among the bluffs of the Driftless Area in Allamakee County, this cute and cozy little cabin is perfect for a winter getaway. Although it accommodates up to five guests in its two bedrooms and one bathroom, I think the property is best suited for couples looking for a little time together or even solo travelers seeking some solitude. Your nature-loving side will adore its riverfront setting, where you can nestle up to a crackling bonfire with a warm beverage and gaze up at the stars.

Even the indoor spaces in the cabin are never far from natural beauty surrounding the cabin. Enjoy views of the forested bluffs and the river valley from the cabin's cozy sitting area or while you're creating a culinary masterpiece in the well-appointed galley kitchen. And yes, there's Wi-Fi available if you want to plug back in for a moment or two and see what's happening elsewhere in the world.

When you're ready for more outdoor adventures, lace up your boots or strap on some snowshoes, and explore the banks of the Upper Iowa. Or, simply slide into the property's hot tub and see what passes by - maybe a deer or a fox... or perhaps a shooting star.

I don't there's a cozier place to spend a winter weekend in the Hawkeye State than this cozy, Allamakee County cabin. To learn more about this charming winter cabin in Iowa and to book your own weekend (or longer!) getaway, visit the cabin's listing on Airbnb. You won't want to leave!
