13 Airbnbs To Rent With Stunning Views

An exciting piece of tiny home architecture, The Woodpecker House boasts an exterior structure that seemingly pays homage to family summers spent in an RV. It is built entirely with sustainable materials such as wood, cardboard, and flax and has a deceptively spacious interior, considering its size. Thanks to the glass walls that adorn the front and back of the structure, this tiny home gets an incredible amount of light into the two-bedroom, one-bathroom house. In the shape of a caravan, this Airbnb sits on farmland in Zeeland, the Netherlands, where rabbits, chickens, and other adorable animals roam.

This home is a minimalist's dream. In the front is the living room, consisting of one long couch and a dining table for four. Walk in, and you'll find the bedroom just a few feet away from the kitchen but cordoned off, so its inhabitants still enjoy some privacy. Guests of The Woodpecker House enjoy a great deal of space to soak up the sun in the summer and a great view of the farm right from the porch.

In Cape Town, you're welcomed by mountains, hills, and such lush vegetation that you must pause to take it all in. And with this seaside villa, you get a front-row seat to the Atlantic Ocean and a direct view of the famous Table Mountain.

Although the furniture is modern, the exposed pine beams which line the ceiling give the room a rustic feel that plays nicely with that design choice. A large patio is accessible from the living room via a wooden sliding door that opens the entire room to the outdoors. It creates an uninterrupted sense of indoor-outdoor living. Once outside, guests are greeted by a braai grill, a stylish inground pool, and an incredible view of Lions Head mountain, which sits between the famous Table mountain and Signal Hill. Marble finishings are tastefully woven through this Cape Town villa offering designs that elevate the simple and make it luxurious. 

Figtrees Cottage, located in a rural area of Emu Swamp, will bring your agrarian living dreams to life. This cottage boasts views of the fig trees surrounding the 12 acres on which the house was built. Natural light floods into the open-plan living space of this cottage, offering an illuminated area for your lounging and dining. On the property's second floor is a Juliet balcony on which you can enjoy the serenity of the countryside while also taking in the remarkable views.

Figtrees Cottage offers a cozy white and brown wood palette throughout the property. Rustic decor that meets modern amenities is the name of the game with this Emu Swamp property. The exposed wooden beams on the ceiling give this home a mid-century feel that makes you feel like you've traveled back in time in the best way. These mid-century elements can be seen throughout the house, even in the bedrooms where antique dressing tables and wardrobes line the walls.

Located right in the heart of the Rockies, this one-bedroom cabin sits high up on Tunnel Mountain and offers its habitants an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life below. With only one bedroom, this loft cabin is perfect for solo travelers who wish for solitude and tranquility. The exterior of the house blends in with its woodsy surroundings. Its pinewood balconies, pillars, ad stick-style accents give it a rustic feel, while the rugged stone panels and pillar bases pay homage to the surrounding mountains.

Inside, the wood-burning fireplace comes with complimentary wood, so you don't have to go out into the forest to chop down your logs! In addition, this cozy cabin gives guests access to not one but two shared hot tubs with unfiltered views of Banff and the Rockies. Moreover, this cabin also features a sauna that once served as an airplane chalet in the 1940s. 

Already an audaciously designed building, this Bolton-Quest cabin sits on the side of a cliff at 1,600 feet. That's right; it's etched into the side of a cliff a thousand feet from the ground. With panoramic views of the vegetation below and above and a picture of Mount Glen, this incredible architectural feat was designed to resemble binoculars, which is why it's known as — you guessed it – The Binocular.

Though they seem like two separate cabins, The Binocular is connected by a walkway that leads from one side of the building to the other. They feature floor-to-ceiling windows, helping create a sense of indoor-outdoor living. The interior is modern and minimalist, boasting clean lines and industrial furnishings, matching the house's exterior look. It has classic minimalist items like tulip dining chairs, peg leg dining table, and a boxy, low-back sectional couch.

The Barnhouse, as it's known, is a four-bedroom, three-bathroom cabin home located two hours from New York City. Initially built in the 19th century, this barn house sits between two mountains — Hunter and Windham Ski — and is enclosed in green vegetation. The large open-plan living area invites inhabitants into a serene space filled with green plants and rustic furniture, including a gorgeously imperfect coffee table slab in the center of the living room. Greens, browns, and whites are the palettes of this space, providing calming energies throughout.

The dining space in the area — through the front doors — seats six. On the other side of the door is a cozy swing seat suspended from the ceiling, and just further down from there is another swing set up just by the gas fireplace, built against a stone wall. The kitchen is the definition of cottagecore, boasting a gas stove and white mod-cons against brown wooden surfaces. Outside the property, and just a short walk from the front door, is a hot tub built under a gazebo overlooking an outdoor oven.

Enclosed in the Shenandoah National Park 75 miles from Washington D.C., this luxury yurt's dome-like structure is a sight for sore eyes. The spectacular building features a high cone ceiling entirely paneled with wood, with a small skylight at its center. Below is an open-plan living area with modern amenities. For instance, the living room has a large smart TV.

There are two black rocking chairs in the kitchen area on either side of a black wood stove, a more masculine-leaning take on the traditionally rustic design. Upstairs, in the loft, there is a pool table with colors in line with the overall space — black and ashy brown. There is another lounge area with a great view of the space below and the trees surrounding the yurt. While the living and social areas share a more modern approach, the bedrooms have a more cabin feel. The wooden walls and floor offer the classic outdoorsy energy with which yurts are often associated.
