Sasquatch Hideaway – Weeki Wachee, Florida
A little slice of paradise right on the pristine waters of the Weeke Wachee River, the Sasquatch Hideaway is a fully renovated home featuring four bedrooms and three bathrooms to accommodate up to 12 guests. While the home's interior is lovely, we're sure you'll want to spend all day, every day outside.
The Hideaway provides lawn chairs for you to bring down to the small beach, where you can dip your feet in the water and watch manatees swim by. Not too far away is the Hospital Hole, where groups of manatees spend time, and Weeki Wachee Springs State Park is only a 5-minute drive away.
Cozy River Cabin – Pollock Pines, California
Located on the South Fork of the American River, this Cozy River Cabin is a great nature escape surrounded by trees. While the cabin comfortably accommodates two adults on the California king bed, a trundle bed is available for children aged five and under. Pets are also welcome! Spend time on the deck or in the hot tub as you take in stunning river views and relax in the natural surroundings. You may never want to leave such a peaceful place.
Braxdon’s Castle – Sevierville, Tennessee
Live out your fairytale fantasy with a grand escape to Braxdon’s Castle in the Smoky Mountains. This epic abode is not stuck in the Middle Ages, and you will enjoy the comforts of modern living alongside the feel of a majestic castle. This unique home features three bedrooms and can accommodate more than 16 guests.
Inside are numerous castle-like elements, including a towering stone fireplace, archways, and spiral staircases in the towers. As for modern amenities, there's a hot tub, four flat-screen TVs, and a game room featuring a pool table, foosball, arcade games, and more. Who wouldn't want to stay in a castle like this?
The Perfect View at Apple Valley Lake – Howard, Ohio
If you travel somewhere for the views, then The Perfect View, situated on 156 feet of waterfront on Apple Valley Lake, is the perfect choice for you. This 3,900-square-foot getaway certainly didn't skimp on the amenities, either, and if you love to cook, you'll enjoy using the six-burner gas Viking stove and double ovens.
The home features six bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, accommodating up to 16 guests. Family reunion, anyone? Head outside for a swim off the home's private dock, play corn hole, or spend evenings by the lakeside fire pit. This home has it all!
Lavender Haze Playce – Phoenix, Arizona
I live in Arizona, and I can confidently say that we have no shortage of epic vacation rentals. We also have no shortage of bachelorette parties here, and Lavender Haze Playce is the perfect house to gather the girls to celebrate your bestie's upcoming nuptials. If you're a Swiftie, even better–this Taylor Swift-inspired vacation home is an Instagrammable dream come true, and features themes from the singer's albums throughout.
Horizon Hideout – Reynoldsville, Pennsylvania
If you're like me and prefer glamping over camping, Horizon Hideout is an excellent getaway option. While immersed in nature, whether sitting outside on the deck or soaking in the hot tub, you'll find all the comforts of home inside the yurt. The climate-controlled interior features a fully stocked kitchen, Wi-Fi, a smart TV, a sofa, a queen-sized bed with luxurious linens, and more. Whether you decide to take a solo trip or bring a friend or significant other with you, this is glamping at its finest.
The Little Lake Cabin – New Fairfield, Connecticut
The Little Lake Cabin was named one of the best Airbnbs in the state, and there are plenty of reasons why. This lakeside oasis is a serene escape from the frenetic energy of city life, immersing you in the home's natural surroundings. Built in the 1940s, the 500-square-foot cabin has been meticulously updated with modern comforts and amenities while maintaining a cozy, rustic feel.
You'll also have access to the lake and beach, as well as kayaks. Additionally, you can take hikes within Squantz Pond State Park, located just behind the property.
Dome Sweet Dome – El Prado, New Mexico
Situated on a 12-acre property, Dome Sweet Dome is a unique monolithic dome home featuring a fenced-in property and more amenities than you could dream of. Not only is there a stocked kitchenette, a wood stove, a comfy living room area with a stocked bookshelf and a record player, but also a hot tub and a steam room. If you truly want to relax and get away, this is the place, especially since there is no cell service. However, you may choose to stay connected via the home's Wi-Fi.
Welcome House (Hale e Komo Mai) – Waimea, Hawaii
Welcome to the Welcome House! Surrounded by a heavenly parcel of Hawaiian landscape and gardens, this tiny home will welcome you with open arms for a getaway to remember. Staying here is a peaceful escape, and although small, the house has everything you need, including a dedicated workspace and Wi-Fi for working remotely. If you prefer to relax, the large lanai is the perfect spot.
New Conestoga 1843 Wagon – Peculiar, Missouri
Live out your own version of the pioneer days when you book a few nights in the New Conestoga 1843 Wagon. Ideal for a cozy, romantic getaway, the wagon is situated at the fork of two streams and feels very remote. Inside is a king-sized bed, a full bathroom, and a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker.
