Enjoy nature at this cabin in the Green Mountains in Vermont
For those looking to truly go off-grid, this cabin in the Green Mountains is available on Airbnb for less than $200 a night. After parking the car, guests are greeted by immediate adventure being that they are required to take a short hike up to the mountainside cabin. While this very private and secluded spot is great for those looking to simply relax and restore, it is also perfect for thrill-seekers and active travelers. Surrounded by hiking trails, prime rock climbing, and amazing slopes, this quaint cabin allows for much more than simply cozying up in a blanket with a cup of hot cocoa.
Keep in mind that at this very off-grid accommodation, the only source of heating that guests will find is the stove, meaning you'll definitely want to know how to start a fire. Plus, an actual fire only adds to the charm of this incredibly unique and old school cabin. Located pretty much in the middle of nowhere, this Vermont Airbnb provides the perfect mixture of adventure and tranquility for guests in need.
This A-frame cabin is near the slopes in Washington
A-frame cabins create a special aesthetic that is nearly impossible to pass up. Located in the forest of Skykomish, Washington, the Tye Haus – A-Frame Cabin on Airbnb is the ultimate destination for a cozy and rustic retreat. Being that the cabin is only minutes away from Stevens Pass Ski Resort, this rental is a wonderful option for those who enjoy hitting the slopes and taking full advantage of the Washington snow.
With a little more than 1,000 square feet of space, this cabin is small but not tiny, and it can fit up to four guests comfortably. Surrounded by some of the most popular and beloved hiking in the Pacific Northwest, this Airbnb will provide guests with an abundance of activities and options for exploration. Of course, if you'd rather snuggle up in the day bed next to the window with a good book and some coffee, that is also a fantastic and very plausible option. Best of all, guests can soak in the hot tub outside as they look up at the stars or watch the sun go down over the horizon of trees.
Moose Haven Cabin in Colorado is a rustic and relaxing retreat
It truly doesn't get much better than a private cabin in the middle of Colorado. Thanks to the Moose Haven Cabin on Airbnb, guests can take full advantage of starry nights and private hiking trails so as to experience this breathtaking state at its fullest. However, if you are looking for more luxurious accommodations, you might want to look elsewhere. At the Moose Haven Cabin, guests are required to head over to the composting bathroom which is about 20 feet away from the actual cabin.

Stay at this charming cabin near Deep Ellum, Texas
Being that Deep Ellum is a neighborhood located right near downtown Dallas, it might seem a bit surprising to find this Urbandale Airbnb rental on our list. However, thanks to the woodsy surroundings, guests of this cozy cabin will forget that they are actually staying in the backyard of a house that is a mere 15 minutes from the hustle and bustle of the city. In addition to the surrounding nature, this cabin is also made extra cozy by its tiny stature and floor plan. Made from pine trees in North Carolina, this quaint Airbnb smells delightful and the carefully curated aesthetic truly transports guests to the middle of nowhere, despite being conveniently located close to all of the amenities of downtown Dallas.
In addition to the cabin itself, guests of this Airbnb also have access to the kitchen in the main house along with a nice fire pit in the backyard for building a bonfire.

The cabin's style and aesthetic is totally rustic and traditional, staying true to the authentic cabin look that we all know and love. Though the style is a bit timeless and old school, there is an upgraded flatscreen television for those who need to stay a bit more connected to modern amenities. However, while visitors of this Tennessee cabin may want to wind down with a movie once or twice during their stay, it is difficult to leave the beauty and luxury of the cabin's patio deck. Between the hot tub and the forested surroundings, you'll find very little reason to go anywhere else. Finally, while this rental does provide optimal seclusion and privacy for those looking to get a nice retreat away from the chaos, the town of Pigeon Forge is very close by for convenience.

This North Carolina cabin is out of a fairytale
The Pisgah Highlands Hammock House is an Airbnb favorite due to its rustic charm and youthful energy.

When it is coated in snow, this North Carolina cabin becomes the most surreal spot to light a fire and curl up with your loved one in this small yet inviting space.
Keep in mind that this cabin is 100% off-grid, and it sits on more than 120-acres of private land that backs up to Pisgah National Forest. Though you'll certainly be in awe at the surrounding nature, you'll also want to keep your eyes peeled for local animals that might be passing through. Also, being that this cabin is incredibly rustic and homegrown, the only shower onsite is an outdoor one, meaning you might want to prepare for that beforehand, especially if visiting during the chillier months. Nonetheless, an experience at the Pisgah Highlands Hammock House is one that is not easily replaced or forgotten.
Enjoy the Missouri woods at Hawk's Ridge Cabin
Hawks Ridge Cabin in Saint James, Missouri can accommodate up to six guests in three different bedrooms, despite the fact that it looks no bigger than a one-bedroom cabin from the outside. Best of all, this Airbnb is available for as little as $200 per night, making it super affordable, especially when splitting among a group. While it does feel as if it resides in the middle of nowhere, guests can enjoy wineries and restaurants just minutes away along with trout fishing, horseback riding, and zip-lining (weather permitting). No matter what your interests are, there truly is something for everyone at this unique little cabin.
Spend the days exploring the surrounding town or Meramec Springs State Park before returning to the property for movies and hot chocolate by the fire.

Whether you are wanting to spend the day at the slopes or you'd rather simply chill out by the fire pit, this cabin is sure to create the exact environment you are looking for during your Big Bear getaway. Despite the fact that the cabin does not sit on a very large piece of land, the surrounding pine trees create a sense of privacy and seclusion.
