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

Mayville is a beautiful small town in North Dakota founded in the 1880s that currently boasts a population of fewer than 2,000 people. There are plenty of things to do and see while in town, though, so you’ll need somewhere wonderful to stay; and I found the perfect place for just such an occasion. Come explore one of the coolest little towns in the Peace Garden State and spend a night (or nine) at one of the best Airbnbs in North Dakota.  

Known as “The Hytte Hideout,” this little respite from the real world is a perfect example of the wonders that make up North Dakota. It’s a rustic, beautiful log cabin with a classic look and feel, and I think you’ll fall madly in love with it the moment you lay eyes on it – just like I did. It’s an amazing getaway any time of year, but there’s something especially perfect about it when it's surrounded by fresh snow. It’s a veritable winter wonderland, and I think it’ll certainly impress you and anyone lucky enough to accompany you.  

In Norwegian, a “hytte” is a weekend cabin one visits to relax and unwind (to chill, if you will.) Sitting on 15 gorgeous, secluded acres, this is a little property with a big soul and plenty of delights to offer. The Goose River flows straight through the backyard and takes on an especially wonderful sense of adventure when covered in snow.  

In terms of amenities, the list is lengthy and exciting! The cabin boasts a full-size kitchen with cooking utensils perfect for preparing your favorite home-cooked meals. Then, you’ll find a smart TV with streaming services in the living area. There’s a big, roomy deck outside that’s awesome for anyone who enjoys watching the sunset or enjoying the crisp winter air. A fire pit beckons friends and family closer, making for some excellent memories you’ll never forget. Does life get better? I submit that it does not.  

If you feel the need to wander and explore the town of Mayville, you'll enjoy this river town and its vibrant history; it reached its peak population in the 1960s, and much of the town’s infrastructure and decor appears to be taken right out of the decade. There are several wonderful eateries in town, including a top-notch Mexican joint for every dinner and a perfect mom-and-pop cafe for every breakfast. When it comes to small towns in North Dakota, Mayville is one of those places you’ll adore from the moment you arrive.
