Wherever your Northeast travels take you, get a head start by booking one of these Airbnbs.

Cottage Litchfield Hills

This Connecticut cottage lands somewhere between Practical Magic and The Holiday in the best way. The sun-washed interiors are peppered with antique artwork and furnishings, with a bright (and fully updated) lemon yellow kitchen anchoring the space.

It sits on five wooded acres with a wide stone porch out front and a wood-burning fireplace inside for cold nights. The house is right on the border of Washington and Bantam, so in terms of exploring, you have plenty of choices. Hike the trails at White Memorial Conservation Center along Bantam Lake, grab a cone at Arethusa Farm Dairy, or climb to the Steep Rock overlook in Washington.

Location: Morris, Connecticut

Rooms: 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms

Amenities: Indoor fireplace, AC, WiFi, central heating, circle drive with parking

Moss House

As the name suggests, you’ll be surrounded by greenery at this property. The cabin sits among tall pines above the Sheepscot River, with pine floors, poured concrete, lime plaster, and handmade tile that nod to both Nordic and Japanese design sensibilities. Speaking of, the interiors are restrained, save for a few pops of green—most notably, a hand-painted landscape on the celery-colored kitchen cabinet. But don’t spend your whole weekend cooped up: Down the path, there’s a private shoreline where you can take out provided kayaks for a spin, and a dock made for morning coffee or a good glass of wine.

Location: Georgetown, Maine

Rooms: 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom

Amenities: Private dock, 4 kayaks, wood stove, outdoor fire pit, waterside Adirondack chairs, hammocks, heat pump and AC, radiant bathroom floors, washer/dryer, WiFi

The Fox Den

The Fox Den is a sweet little cabin made for doing very little. It sits on seven private acres in the woods of southern New Hampshire, overlooking a pond. The home is thoughtfully decorated, leaning nostalgic with a screened porch for reading in the afternoon and a deck facing the water for gazing out. Here’s one quirk for the adventurous traveler: Technically, the bathroom is an outhouse, but it’s definitely the cutest one you’ll ever see. (And for those looking to truly disconnect, an outdoor shower under shady maples is pure relaxation.)

Whether you chose to paddle the pond or end the night around the fire pit beneath a sky full of stars, this is the kind of spot that encourages unplugging, and guarantees a return home in revived spirits.

Location: Deering, New Hampshire

Rooms: 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom

Amenities: Screened porch, deck, outdoor shower, fire pit, canoe/kayak

Wellfleet Cottage By the Sea

The Cape Cod cottage starts with a sweet butter yellow exterior—matching striped umbrella and all—and only gets more picturesque. It’s ideally sized for a couple, with cozy, wood-paneled interiors and a small kitchen for those evenings where you want to stay in. It opens up directly to the beach, with sandy stairs leading down to the shore; grab the provided beach chairs and head down with your coffee each morning.

Location: Wellfleet, Massachusetts

Rooms: 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom

Amenities: Outdoor shower, pet-friendly, beach essentials

This Maine House

A quick 30-minute drive to Acadia National Park, this light and airy home will feel like the reset you need after an adventurous day on the trails. It’s well-sized for larger groups (you can fit up to six people) with plenty of room across the living spaces and three bedrooms. The design leans more elegant than traditional coastal—think, vintage Persian rugs and terracotta urns, paper pendant lights, and iron-frame outdoor furniture. You’ll leave with a filled photo album.

Location: Tremont, Maine

Rooms: 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms

Amenities: Bathtub, washer/dryer, AC, free parking, grill

The Farmstead Cabin

Tucked into the foothills of the Berkshires, this cabin sets you up for a slow-paced vacation. Spend your days hiking, your nights stargazing by the fire pit, and fill the in-between with quiet moments in the beautifully decorated home (make sure to pack a deck of cards). From the sink skirt in the kitchen to the slipcovered sofas in the living area to the covered front porch, the decor makes it easy to cosplay the country mouse.

Location: Chester, Massachusetts

Rooms: 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom

Amenities: High chair, fireplace, patio, fire pit, grill, free parking

The Berghüttli

Inspired by Swiss mountain chalets, this cozy spot offers near-panoramic views of the surrounding forest so you’ll feel like you’re staying in your own little tree house.

Good Morning A-Frame

Ultra-high ceilings and a wood-burning stove set against a polished, fully renovated interior will make you feel like you’re staying in the most elevated cabin ever. This A-frame is situated amongst campgrounds and hiking trails, offering adventurous travelers lots to do during their stay in New Hampshire (it’s close enough to the Vermont border for day trips across state lines, too). Families will love the full kitchen, which has everything you need to whip up meals at home after a day outdoors.

Amenities: Bathtub, washer, dryer, record player, arcade games, board games, indoor fireplace, coffee maker, fire pit, outdoor dining

Peaceful Studio Farmstay

For a couple (or solo traveler) looking for a tranquil New England stay, this little spot is perfect. It’s actually the re-purposed garage of a 1740s-era farmhouse, with clear attention paid to every detail: checkerboard bar stools, ruffled pendant lighting, and reclaimed wood doors all make for sweet touches. And though it may be peaceful, you’re far from alone: The property is also home to chickens, geese, ducks, and cows. Feeding (and photo evidence of your stint as a farmer) encouraged.

Location: Eliot, Maine

Rooms: 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom

Amenities: Bathtub, coffee maker, housekeeping available for a fee

Saltbox by the Sea

Slipcovered furniture, jute rugs, wood paneling—this Rhode Island home right in Newport is coastal style at its finest. It sleeps up to six, and has a dedicated office space to accommodate remote workers looking to book a longer stay. The home itself is a colonial house built in 1760, and you can still see tell-tale signs of its original character; wide-plank floor boards and rustic ceilings add to its cozy appeal.

Amenities: Bathtub, outdoor shower, washer, dryer, TV, board games, indoor fireplace, coffee maker, fire pit, outdoor dining, pets allowed

Historic Schoolhouse

Hidden inside a restored schoolhouse from around 1866 is a surprisingly bright, charming, and effortlessly bohemian space that’s brimming with design ideas to steal. (Think, layered rugs, a vintage world map used as a headboard, and heated brick floors—all housed, for the most part, in one big room.) Shapleigh Pond offers waterfront views, and in the peak seasons, kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards are all available for renters looking to take advantage of this rental’s proximity to the lake.

Location: Shapleigh, Maine

Cozy Log Cabin

This quaint log cabin is postcard New England, complete with mountain views and, of course, the requisite fire pit. It’s conveniently located near several ski resorts, breweries, and antique shops, with a screened-in porch for soaking in the sprawling vistas. It’s also great for the traveler in search of going off the grid. The home is fairly remote, and as there’s no television, unplugging is encouraged.

Amenities: Bathtub, washer, dryer, record player, Bluetooth sound system, travel crib, board games, indoor fireplace, coffee maker, fire pit, outdoor dining, hot tub, pet-friendly

Martha’s Vineyard Oceanview Retreat

In terms of coastal charm, there’s no beating this Martha’s Vineyard spot. It’s perched on a bluff that overlooks the Menemsha Harbor and the Vineyard Sound, and as a guest, you’ll have access to residents-only beaches that are all within walking distance. The nautical style is your chance to lean into East Coast prep; between the shiplap kitchen to the wicker- and raffia-accented furniture, it’s a Nancy Meyers moodboard come to life.

Rooms: 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms

Amenities: Washer, dryer, TV, board games, coffee maker, beach access, balcony, outdoor dining, BBQ grill, beach essentials, housekeeping available

1794 Vermont Home

Spend brisk evenings around the backyard fire pit or inside, playing cards at the kitchen table.

Walk or bike to nearby salt marshes, beaches, and oyster grounds before heading home to unwind from your day of exploring in the outdoor tub or shower (yes, the house has both). The original space dates back to 1963, and while it retains some of that old-school charm, it has been updated to include all the modern conveniences—including a state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen.
