Brushland Owl’s Nest
Bovina Center, New York
This Valentine’s Day-worthy Airbnb in the New York City countryside is a perfect makeover of a modern cabin in the woods.

Yakutat Hut at Kenai Lake
Seward, Alaska
For serious seclusion with a healthy dose of romance, you can’t beat a lakeside cabin in Alaska. The Yakutat Cabin is one of four located on 15 pristine acres overlooking Kenai Lake. What sets this one apart from others on this list is the complete lack of modern amenities. This cabin is perfectly off-grid. There is no electricity and only hand pumped well water. The lighting works on propane and the heating is entirely fueled by wood. Most importantly, no cell service. This gives you and yours plenty of time to reconnect by disconnecting.
Cottage du Marais
Charleston, South Carolina
Of course, a romantic Valentine’s Day getaway doesn’t necessarily mean staying in a secluded cabin in the middle of nowhere. This beautifully redesigned cottage sits on a large marsh-front lot with a private yard and sun deck in downtown Charleston, South Carolina. Inside, it’s a bright, decidedly modern affair with a fireplace, three bedrooms, and high-end appliances throughout. Plus, it’s all just minutes from the city’s best dining, historic Hampton Park, and sunset viewing along the Ashley River.

The interior has been beautifully redesigned with a mid-century modern vibe, including vintage-inspired electronics and an open wood-burning fireplace. It’s also conveniently located between Mount Snow and Stratton Mountain Resort, with some of Vermont’s best hiking, biking, and skiing opportunities.
The hot springs nest
Hot springs, Arkansas
The aptly named The Nest of Hot Springs is a reimagining of a classic luxury African tent camp in the treetops of Hot Springs, Arkansas. Built on stilts, it offers both wild isolation and an incredible view of the valley below. Inside, it’s a five-star experience with a plush king-size bed in the master bedroom, an open living room with a 55-inch TV, a lovely soaking tub, and fast Wi-Fi throughout.

Creekside Urban Cottage
Austin, Texas
Just minutes from some of Austin’s best bars and cafes on the East Side is this urban creek oasis. Inside, it’s charming and eclectic – a quirky blend of modern amenities and rustic luxury. Wood panels and exposed lumber provide a fun, cabin-in-the-wood feel, while a private outdoor space provides a sense of seclusion that feels secluded from the city.
Atlanta’s secluded treehouse
Atlanta, Georgia
It has been featured on countless ‘Best Airbnbs’ lists, but we’d be remiss not to mention it again here. This secluded treehouse just minutes from downtown Atlanta looks like a storybook – the perfect romantic getaway for Valentine’s Day. The pictures tell the whole story, but the Hammock Terrace – a private oasis perched in the treetops overlooking seven massive century-old trees – should be enough to sell you.
