Embrace the Chill More Ways Than One at This Cozy Winter Getaway in Maryland

Is there anything better on a winter evening than looking out of the window and watching the snow tumbling down? Everyone is huddled indoors, as the snow creates a blanket, perfectly pristine, except maybe for a few paw prints from local wildlife. Little compares to the quiet of a snowy winter night, the ideal time to curl up and sip a cup of hot chocolate. Enjoy timeless moments like these by treating yourself to a cozy winter getaway in Maryland.

Even if you’re not a fan of winter’s frosty cold air and snow, you’ll find plenty to keep you busy — or not, if you feel like doing nothing at all — right inside Winter is Coming, a spacious yet cozy cabin in Oakland, Maryland. Set in the mountains, the three-primary suite, four-bathroom Airbnb offers plenty of space for a family getaway, a reunion with friends, or even a solo adventure. You don’t have to leave your furry family member behind, either, because dogs are allowed for an extra fee.

Winter is Coming is all about relaxation, whether you feel like gathering with loved ones around the fireplace in the living room to watch TV, or you want to call dibs on the bedroom with the Ms. Pac-Man, full-sized arcade machine, and while away the hours playing. This may be the best bedroom in the house because of it! (I’d probably never leave the room as I tried to beat the high score.)

Or, choose an opponent and play a game or two of air hockey in the den. Arguably the most popular room in the entire house, the den is where you’ll find the indoor, year-round hot tub. Slip in and soak all your cares away as you gaze out of the six windows that let the natural light in.

Start your day in the kitchen, fully equipped with everything you need — a fridge, stove, oven, microwave, and coffeemaker — to make a hearty breakfast for yourself and your fellow guests. Or, if you prefer waking up with a hot cup of coffee first, bundle up. Sit on the swinging bench on the porch, breathe in the crisp air, and sip your drink. Don’t forget to bring goodies so that you can roast marshmallows in the fire pit. S'mores, anyone?

While you’ll have everything you need for a cozy winter getaway in Maryland right in your home away from home, adventure’s not too far away. For winter activities in Maryland, head over to Deep Creek Lake Horseback Riding Stables at Circle R Ranch for winter horseback riding in Oakland, Maryland, or bundle up and spend the day snow tubing at nearby Wisp Resort in McHenry, Maryland, which is fun for the whole family!
