7. Dream Frame A, Pond Eddy, New York, USA – £ 288 ($ 395) per night
Comfort factor: This A-frame cabin is said to get more comfortable with every inch of snow
Darby House is a beautiful A-frame house nestled in the woods along the Delaware River.
Airbnb says, “It’s simple science – the upstate cabin of Superhost Karli becomes more comfortable with every inch of snow.
“A place next to the crackling fire is nice, but to achieve maximum comfort you will have to go up to the attic of the bedroom. Even the two hour drive from New York is restorative, especially as you meander over the Delaware River on Hawk’s Nest Highway.
The beautiful image of the property was taken by @ darby.houseupstate.
6. 19th century school, Kingston, New York, USA – £ 365 ($ 500) per night

And it’s as cute as a button from the outside.
Critic Kristen said, “It’s not everyday that you can stay in such a unique piece of history. [It’s] exactly as pictured and retains much of its original character, as well as stylish, period-specific updates. The neighborhood is very quiet and close to all that the Hudson Valley has to offer. A comfortable and relaxing getaway.
5. Casa Mom, Pioneertown, CA, USA – from £ 218 ($ 299) per night
If you’re looking for a post-containment escape from the hustle and bustle, this could be the perfect abode.

He said: ‘Captured by @workingholidaystudio, this image of a pueblo-style house in the Californian desert gives us just enough glimpse to trigger the maximum desire to travel. ‘
Telephone reception apparently does not exist there, but that is part of the appeal. Reviewer Shannon said, “Casa Mami is the perfect place to get away from it all. It is so peaceful and relaxing. There is no cell service and the wifi is quite spotty so be prepared to be completely unplugged which is exactly what we were looking for. We will come back 100%.
4. Tanglebloom cabin, Brookline, VT, United States
Guests of this open-air glamping cabin sleep surrounded by wire mesh “walls” that let in the breeze (and keep insects out)

Fanstasyland: One reviewer described this Airbnb as being in a “magical parallel universe”
Tail drum roll. This is the most liked photo on Airbnb’s Instagram profile in 2020. It was taken by @bonitte and has amassed over 76,000 likes.
It shows the outdoor swimming pool of Chateau St Victor la Coste in Provence, a 16th century mansion that makes it a truly unforgettable getaway.
The reviews, unsurprisingly, are rave. Helena wrote: “We spent four days in the parallel magical universe of Chateau St Victor la Coste. Due to the heat, we spent a lot of time by the pool, reading books, listening to garden life, watching yellow butterflies flying around the roses. Alison and Costas were more than you could ask for in hosts. Accessible, authentic and a great sense of humor. ‘
