Featured in Dwell, Travel + Leisure, Apartment Living, Lonely Planet, and more, this cabin rental in Colorado is immersed within vast expanses of national forest just minutes from the largest glacial lakes among the state's epic natural beauty. Set at the base of Independence Pass, on the Twin Lakes side, it's along one of the world's top scenic drives. Designed in the classic Alpine style, the home is both rustic and refined with an open-concept space and vaulted ceilings with wide-plank hardwood floors and that distinctive Hygge sense of comfort. There's a fully equipped kitchen with a handmade white oak dining table, comfy seating around the HearthStone wood-burning stove, and cathedral windows that perfectly frame the spectacular views of La Plata, the fifth highest peak in the Rockies.The ensuite master bedroom is on the main floor with two additional bedrooms upstairs (note that the upstairs bedroom with full bed is rather small), and there are two luxurious, vintage-inspired bathrooms with spa amenities.The wraparound deck includes a hot tub with dining and lounge spaces for relaxing and soaking in the views. The cabin is surrounded on all sides by rugged mountains, so there are hundreds of miles of trails and gorgeous wildflower hikes, with rushing rivers in summer and magical snowscapes in winter. A true nature lover's paradise. ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGHSAs the highest county in the Rocky Mountains, Lake County offers some of Colorado's most spectacular sites and endless options for hiking, back-country skiing, snowshoeing, paddling, rafting, rock-climbing, and mountain biking. La Plata Mountain trailhead is less than a five-minute drive and Mt.

The twin lakes trails around Interlaken, a fascinating abandoned Victorian-era resort from the 1800s are nearby but only accessible by boat or hike.Independence Pass closes in early November through late May with up to 140 inches of snow per year (check cotrip for status), creating “the prettiest dead-end road in Colorado,&#34; and blissful seclusion. Open dates typically fall on Memorial Day through the first week in November.The sleepy Twin Lakes village is ten minutes from the cabin where you'll find the Inn &amp; Saloon restaurant that's been open since the 1800s and the General Store where you can get the basics.

<h2 id="rockymountainalpenglow">Rocky Mountain Alpenglow</h2>
This cabin rental in Colorado along one of the world's top scenic drives is an ideal escape for those hearty, adventurous souls that embrace the call of the wild and meet nature on its own terms.&nbsp;The burnished glow that appears at the mountain summits at sunset and sunrise, the alpenglow phenomenon elicits that cozy feeling you get curled up by the fire after a day of drinking in the brisk high altitudes of nature and adventure. Hence this cabin's name.
A true wilderness experience, you'll share the mountains with their natural inhabitants of bears, mountain lions, elk and moose, bighorn sheep and foxes in addition to the seasonal and migratory critters, with the welcoming comforts of a thoughtfully designed retreat to nestle in to.
The stylishly composed renovations amp up the design quotient while still highlighting the already spectacular natural beauty and heart-stopping views.&nbsp;The cabin is equipped with Starlink satellite internet and there's an artisan and local farm shop nearby (Tenderfoot Farm Market) with eggs, meat, jams, and salsas, etc. from the owners' 6th-generation, local farm.

<h2>A Simple Dwelling Along the Bay Of Biscay</h2>
 This bright and airy architect-designed cabin is located on Île d'Oléron, off the west coast of France. Set on a quiet, sandy lot under a large oak tree, it is within easy reach of the beach and offers beautiful sunset vistas.The house has a very industrial feel, with its high windows, rubber floors, and corrugated metal ceiling. We love the living roof and the use of vertical wooden strips to create floor-to-ceiling lines. Cleverly concealed doors swing open to expand the house outward into the sandy yard, bringing the interior and exterior together.The house has one master bedroom, a smaller bedroom with bunk beds, and one convertible room.

This is a place to tuck yourself away. The owners recommend soaking in the cast-iron claw-foot bathtub, watching the gum treetops swaying, or spending lazy days in the traditional iron bed, looking out over the bay with a cup of tea and a good book.

A boutique hotel-quality cabin in the woods, this designer getaway is secluded in the Welsh countryside and offers a cozy, yet decidedly modern ebony retreat bathed in a leafy green canopy. Created by Greta-Mae Interiors, a bespoke interior design studio, to be a woodland escape that doesn’t scrimp on creature comforts, the cabin is dark, sleek, and soothing, with a fully equipped kitchen, spa-cozy baths and an elevated terrace nestled into the verdant hillside where a sunken Jacuzzi holds court. Inspired by Iceland’s dramatic black timber and pitch houses, the cabin offers a window on the woods via the tall chalet windows that fill its triangular front façade. A sunken hot tub anchors the balcony, also set with a table and barbecue for an easy, no-need-to-leave-here vibe.AROUNDSet in the heart of the countryside, this cabin for rent in Wales was created to be a hideaway for rest and relaxation. The Welsh woodlands offer a fairyland of forest life. Mushrooms, ferns, lichen and moss rise from the loam. Flowers and shrubs, such as wild rhododenrons, primroses, and wood anemones, bloom seasonally. And majestic gold oaks and leafy branching hazel shade the woods. The cabin has front row seats to a seasonal show of changing foliage, abundant bird life and the passage of small woodland animals. The nearest town is a 20-minute walk away, and offers small shops, restaurants, and markets for convenience. The Mid-Wales region is known for its ancient woodlands, dark night skies, and pastoral-to-rugged beauty. The closest town of Llanfyllin is a rural market town, though it’s perhaps best known today for its arts center, The Workhouse, a restored 19th-century structure on six acres that today features a museum and hosts live music shows and festivals, art exhibits, and eco activities in its planned sensory garden. The town is flanked by two rivers, the dueling Cain and Abel waterways. Further afield, Lake Vyrnwy is worth a visit, a picturesque reservoir and waterfall surrounded by the gentle Berwyn Mountains that offers a series of footpaths for exploring. Wales’ largest national park, Snowdonia National Park, is also an easy drive from the cabin, with over 100 lakes, craggy glacial peaks and waterfall-filled gorges on display, and an extensive trail network.LOCATIONLlanfyllin, Wales, UK.

These villas for rent in Portugal outside Comporta, a gem along Portugal’s windswept coast, give off all the right barefoot, vacation vibes. Bright white and rattan filled interiors accented by beachy, basket shaded lamps and sea-glass-colored linens keep the interiors light and breezy. Simple and created for slow living, these cabanas are really all about the outdoors, set around a sweet lap pool in the sand.One cabana holds the complex’s common areas—an open-plan kitchen and living/dining area with a powder room. There’s an outdoor shaded terrace for dining with pool views, too, plus a plump couch and armchairs for sitting indoors to spell the abundant sunshine. A second cabana holds a queen suite, with the third ideal for couples with children, with its double suite and single/trundle bedroom and bath. Together, the three cabins sleep and host six around the tables.A long, lean lap pool joins the three structures at the middle, and feels like its own private beachfront, set in the sand, with wooden boardwalks  and coastal grasses as the sole landscaping. Lounge chairs stretch out in the sun, and shaded terraces add to the beach shack styling.AROUNDThese villas for rent in Portugal are set outside the heart of in-vogue Comporta, where there are beaches and whitewashed slow-living-styled rural villages to explore, in addition to the artsy, fashion-forward boutique community occupying Comporta itself. Celebrated for its raw natural beauty, this coastal area of Portugal’s Alentejo region was once the exclusive domain of a prestigious banking family, who kept the area essentially untouched and natural. Today, Comporta has become the darling of fashion designers and architects, who have capitalized on the area’s natural beauty without over-developing it.Inland, wetlands hold rice paddies, and drier highlands are dotted with cork oak stands and orange groves and striped with vineyards. The nearby coastline is pristine, striking in its wide expanses of empty beaches and picturesque fishing villages. Historically a rural area with an agricultural focus, the region is referred to as Portugal’s breadbasket. In addition to abundant rice paddies, the countryside is covered in fields growing asparagus, wine grapes, and grains (wheat, rye, and oats).LOCATIONComporta, Portugal. Nearest airport: Lisbon (73 miles).BEST TIME TO VISIT: May to October

<h2>Beach Shack Styling on an Unspoiled Coastline</h2>
 A cute trio of pool-front reed and thatch-roofed cabanas are set in the sand near artsy Comporta, with easy access to Portugal’s, wildest unspoiled coastline. Built in classic local style, with cheery facades of woven reed and peaked palm rooftops, the cabanas are striped with bright white bands that embellish as much as they support the structures. Sand-dusted boardwalks unify the cabin trio, crisscrossing the sand surrounding a shared lap pool, where comfy, boxy chaise loungers stretch out in the sun.

There’s an outdoor shaded terrace for dining with pool views, too, plus a plump couch and armchairs for sitting indoors to spell the abundant sunshine. A second cabana holds a queen suite, with the third ideal for couples with children, with its double suite and single/trundle bedroom and bath. Together, the three cabins sleep and host six around the tables.A long, lean lap pool joins the three structures at the middle, and feels like its own private beachfront, set in the sand, with wooden boardwalks and coastal grasses as the sole landscaping. Lounge chairs stretch out in the sun, and shaded terraces add to the beach shack styling. AROUNDThese villas for rent in Portugal are set outside the heart of in-vogue Comporta, where there are beaches and whitewashed slow-living-styled rural villages to explore, in addition to the artsy, fashion-forward boutique community occupying Comporta itself. Celebrated for its raw natural beauty, this coastal area of Portugal’s Alentejo region was once the exclusive domain of a prestigious banking family, who kept the area essentially untouched and natural. Today, Comporta has become the darling of fashion designers and architects, who have capitalized on the area’s natural beauty without over-developing it.Inland, wetlands hold rice paddies, and drier highlands are dotted with cork oak stands and orange groves and striped with vineyards. The nearby coastline is pristine, striking in its wide expanses of empty beaches and picturesque fishing villages. Historically a rural area with an agricultural focus, the region is referred to as Portugal’s breadbasket. In addition to abundant rice paddies, the countryside is covered in fields growing asparagus, wine grapes, and grains (wheat, rye, and oats). LOCATIONComporta, Portugal. Nearest airport: Lisbon (73 miles). BEST TIME TO VISIT: May to October

Placed on a top of a hill, above a garden of olive trees, these cabin rentals in Crete are the perfect way to disconnect in nature. The drive up the dusty winding road illustrates the level of seclusion you'll find here. And it's worth the climb!Designed by a husband and wife duo and inspired by Le Corbusier's charming cabin built for his wife, they both celebrate simplicity, and modern design and the beauty of the Mediterranean. The all-in-one spaces are Brutalist concrete on three sides with a wall of glass facing the views and opening out to the terrace.There's a compact living space with a fully equipped kitchen, a pedestal sleeping area, and even a fireplace for chilly nights. From the terrace, the horizon spreads out in front of you with lovely views of the island landscapes and the Mediterranean in the distance. ADDITIONAL FEATURESSelf check-in available, breakfast items included.  Wifi throughout, kitchen and bath amenities, on site parking. AROUNDKnown for its ancient history and natural beauty, Crete has something for everyone. From the cabins, the mostly agricultural land is still farmed with the olive oil harvest every November and several wineries nearby. Head down the hill to the closest beaches of Nopigia or Choni, two largely undiscovered spots. The ancient city of Rokka is nearby as as well as Polirinia, once an impressive city. The western coast of Crete features wild natural landscapes and two of the top ten ranked beaches in Greece: Balos and Elafonisi. A quieter less populated region, it stretches from Balos and Falasarna to Livadia, Elafonisi and the Krios peninsula in Paleohora and Kissamos to the north. The village of Livadia is a charming and traditional village and is located along the the seaside route of the European E4 hiking path. The historic old port town of Chania with its Venetian harbor, seaside palaces and busy resorts is about an hour's drive, and the medieval archeological heritage village of Maroulas is situated just a few miles from the Venetian harbor town of Rethymno along the scenic northern coastline.    LOCATIONCrete, Greece. Nearest Airport: Chania International Airport (56km)  BEST TIME TO VISIT: Spring, Summer &amp; Winter

<h2>Celebrating Minimalism & Simplicity in Nature</h2>
 Small can expand our horizons. Embracing simplicity and allowing for reflection and relaxation is what escape is all about and here, great design gets you back to nature. Far from the bustling tourist areas, these cabin rentals in Crete among endless olive trees, were designed by husband and wife team of artists to share the island's peaceful beauty and sustainable &#34;slow living.&#34;Inspired by Le Corbusier's Le Cabanon, this duo of cabins celebrates minimalism and the sanctuary of nature. The simple box forms with facades of glass facing the views are composed of board formed concrete with wood accents and bold modernist lines.  The all-in-one spaces feel both intimate and expansive, with clever use of the compact layout, and designed with a tasteful Nordic inspired style. Laze in the hammock listening to the cicadas or on the deck amidst incredible views of the mountains and the sea.A <a href="https://joinus.boutique-homes.com/property/10047">second cabin</a> is also available to rent next door.

We love that there is no need for art on the walls at Cala Rossa, as the view from each window resembles a Renoir. The outdoor opportunities spill from the doors, with a patio off the bedroom that leads into a charming dining area. Also equipped with an open kitchen and living room, this lovingly-restored home is ideal for a couple or small family.However, you’ll want to make it a point to get out, as Favignana is the largest island in the Egadi archipelago, and many argue that it is the most beautiful. Luckily, with the beach within 300m, this vacation rental in Favignana gives you the perfect base to explore. ADDITIONAL FEATURESThis home has air conditioning, internet and cable TV. It is equipped with a washer, and shampoo is provided. Free parking on premises, with wheelchair accessibility. Safety features are a smoke detector, fire extinguisher and a first-aid kit.AROUNDLocated in the Cala Rossa region of Favignana off the northwestern coast of Sicily, the area is known for its calcareous rock cliffs and bevy of coves, and has a long history of tuff stone quarrying and tuna fishing. It’s a 30-minute ferry journey from Trapani.Bicycling is a popular way to see the island, with its flat roads and low traffic, while snorkeling offers a kaleidoscopic display of the life aquatic.  Favignana cuisine is an ode to the sea and showcase of Mediterranean flavor: try a tuna steak or bottarga (dried and cured tuna roe), or a pane cunzatu (a Sicilian-style sandwich with seasoned bread, tomatoes, mozzarella and basil.)LOCATIONFavignana, Italy. Nearest Airport: Trapani (7 miles)BEST TIME TO VISIT: Spring, Summer, Fall

<h2>Ancestral Beauty Restored in Favignana</h2>
 On their 1992 honeymoon, Antonia and her husband Paolo discovered the butterfly-shaped island of Favignana, and a fascination was sparked. &ldquo;It was our Ithaca,&rdquo; says Antonia. Later, they came upon a ruin, and the couple embarked on their Odyssey.
Antonia and Paolo restored the ruin to its ancient glory, preserving the structure and refinishing many original details, like the golden white tuff stone exterior. With the modern addition of a loggia, today, you can watch the sun drop over 9000m of Mediterranean scrubland that stretches to the Caribbean-blue sea up to Marsala.
Inside this unique vacation rental in Favignana, a wall was opened between the kitchen and living area, letting light cast through to the large windows. A minimalist bedroom has a color-blocked, Rothko-esque accent wall.
The nearby bay, also called Cala Rossa, inherits its name from a famous battle between the Romans and Carthaginians. Today, it is known for its turquoise waters and jagged, sculptural cliffs.
Experience this stunning revival of a crumbling relic, worthy of love and respect.

Tiger Cabins

Immersed in a vast nature reserve along the Galician coast, this cabin rental in Spain is located in a secluded and idyllic location surrounded by forests and vineyards where the wild, sparsely inhabited land meets the Atlantic.Separated from the main house by a footpath, the cabana faces the nature reserve creating a private and separate space. The living room has a large sliding window, a warming wood stove, and a mezzanine bedroom and a kitchenette that now matches the home’s calm and chic aesthetic with room for two.It is compact but well designed and feels a bit like being inside a boat, with steps leading down to a shower room.The outdoor spaces include a kitchen area, charcoal BBQ and gas plancha, two tiered living and lounge areas and dining spaces that lead into the gardens and beyond. An appealing and seamless blend of simple rustic living combined with a creative and respectful modern restoration, this is a lovely Galician retreat. ADDITIONAL FEATURESWifi throughout, SONOS sound system, laundry facilities, kitchen and bath amenities, private parking (down a dirt road). Please note: There is a pool on the adjacent property, but it is not accessible. AROUNDThe Aldan region of Galicia has a unique microclimate and is one of the most temperate in Spain. From the house you can walk to two beautiful uncrowded beaches (Barra is over three kilometers long) through unspoiled nature preserves along the Cabo do Home as well as to the tiny village of Donon with great local markets and just a couple of cafes and bars.The northwest region of Galicia is known as the four leaf clover of Spain due to its four green provinces of Pontevedra, Coruña, Ourense and Lugo and has remained one of the most unspoiled parts of the country. Flanked by beautiful mountains and idyllic Atlantic coastline dotted with islands, it’s a region of great diversity.The nearby province of Pontevedra, features the lush green beauty of the Miñor Valley with many local vineyards and the spectacular Atlantic Islands National Park, a protected chain that includes the islands of Cies, Ons, Salvora and Cortegada. Just north of Vigo and within ninety minutes from the grand UNESCO capital of the region, Santiago de Compostela, you are also an hour north of the border of Portugal.     LOCATIONDonon, Galicia, Spain.

<h2 id="reclaimingarustic19thcenturyspanishcottage">Reclaiming a Rustic 19th-Century Spanish Cottage</h2>
Discovered by chance by London-based architect Jamie Fobert and his partner who stumbled upon the site while on holiday, this rural 19th-century property was in an advanced state of ruin, but the couple were struck by its beauty and potential in such a peaceful location.&nbsp;
One of two dwellings on the property, this cabin was once an outbuilding next to the main farmhouse and was completed in 2017, and now serves as a separate and private hideaway for two.
The granite walls anchored the structure and served as the perfect starting point for reimagining what a simple, yet modern country cottage could be. Repairing and replacing the original materials with locally produced stone and chestnut wood, the restoration is a seamless update, enhancing the simply detailed and meticulously crafted finishes, and revealing the building’s original rustic design.&nbsp;
A sleek and subtle adaptation that integrates the raw elements of the existing buildings with a clean, modern restoration, this cottage bridges rural old world charm with modern style.

Located just 2 hours from the urban centers of New York City and Philadelphia, Camp Double Oak is an idyllic respite nestled deep in the woodlands of Northeast Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains. Perfect

<h2 id="amodernistretreatonaprivatelakeinthepoconos">A Modernist Retreat on a Private Lake in the Poconos</h2>
If Bauhaus and biophilic aren’t enough design-direction, this modernist glass cabin in the woods by Weber &amp; Company Architecture also follows Passivehaus building standards for energy efficiency and a limited ecological footprint, and even offers a nod to Mondrian with its bright, color-bloc accents. The three-bedroom, two-bath, 1500sqft retreat anchors guests to the Pocono forest floor, offering views of a private lake from its unobstructed perimeter wrapped in windows.
Designed as an expression of the Farnsworth House, a revered modernist architectural icon, the rectilinear ebony space features floor-to-ceiling glass walls, full-height doors and a curated selection of walnut wood, porcelain tile floors and natural touches such as the pebbled walk-in rain shower floors, a Japanese styled soaking tub, and a ultra-contemporary, periscope-styled wood-burning fireplace. The sleek space is further defined by its black trim finishes and vivid color blocs against its ebony clad walls.
Early modernist and mid-century furnishings in the style of Mies van der Rohe and Richard Neutra complete the interior décor, while outdoor spaces are generous and overlook the lake and surrounding wetlands. Three decks cantilever into the treetops and are set with Adirondack chairs. There’s a lakeside fire pit and grill, a fishing and swimming dock, a pair of kayaks for exploring, plus an outdoor cooking and dining zone and a two person cedar, Japanese soaking tub.
<h3 id="additionalfeatures">Additional features</h3>
Access to a community swimming pool is available May through September. Concierge shopping to stock the kitchen prior to arrival can be arranged. 
<h3 id="around">Around</h3>
Located approximately two hours from both NYC and Philadelphia, this idyllic modern getaway in the woods offers double the fun—set deep in the forest and right on a lakefront in Northeast Pennsylvania’s tranquil Pocono Mountains. The property offers uninterrupted views across the water and its marsh, and wildlife sightings include beavers, otters, whitetail deer, wild turkeys and the occasional bear. Birdwatchers can view the seasonal migration of eagles, hawks and egrets, and see a variety of waterfowl that inhabit the lake and wetland area. There’s fishing equipment at the property for licensed anglers and two kayaks for getting out on the water (or bikes for exploring the lake’s shores and surrounding forest).
The Pocono Mountain region is an outdoor lover's paradise, with year-round attractions ranging from golf (four 18-hole courses within 30 minutes’ drive) and ski resorts, to white-water rafting opportunities, hiking along waterfall trails, horseback riding, skeet shooting, and even NASCAR and off-road motorsports. The area’s communities offer antique shopping and local crafts markets and shops/galleries, farmer’s markets and local breweries, and wineries. Casinos and spa resorts are also available in the area, some 30 minutes from the property.

<h3 id="abauhausinspiredandbiophilicglasscabininthewoodstwohoursfromnycandphilly">A Bauhaus-Inspired and Biophilic Glass Cabin in the Woods Two Hours from NYC and Philly</h3>
Following the Bauhaus architectural dictum of “less is more,” this Pocono Mountain retreat by architect Anthony Weber offers a transparent window on the woods via its 10-foot-tall glass walls. Connecting habitations to nature is the aim of biophilic design, and this uncluttered, modernist camp does double duty, offering a Bauhaus-inspired and biophilic-designed getaway on a private, forested lakefront just hours outside the metropolitan centers of NYC and Philadelphia.
