Located on a private farm about 20 minutes from the Beacon Metro-North train station (a car is still recommended to get around), this off-grid tiny home is powered by solar panels, uses a propane HVAC system for heating and air-conditioning, and has a Laveo dry-flush toilet (don’t worry, guests say it is “super-easy to use.”). Listen, a 180-square-foot glass-enclosed vacation rental isn’t for everyone. All-wheel drive or four-wheel drive vehicles are often recommended, so read each rental’s requirements carefully and pay attention to the weather forecast. Our finds include a Nordic-style two-bedroom with a dry sauna and a Belleayre Mountain–adjacent spot where the host provides s’more ingredients (and face masks).Ī note: By their very nature, many of these cabins are secluded and require trips down winding - and potentially icy - dirt and gravel roads. So we combed through hundreds of listings, and exhaustively read the reviews of people who have stayed in them over the past two years, in order to find the very best winter cabins for rent within three hours of New York City. It takes work to find a house with this type of attention to detail. Access to downhill skiing or snowshoe trails doesn’t hurt, of course, nor do saunas or picture windows with pine-forest views. The cold, combined with a lack of light and a dearth of outside-the-house activities, means that ensuring a genuinely comfortable couch, a fireplace that works as it’s meant to, and speedy Wi-Fi is essential. During the winter, an Airbnb’s amenities become especially important.
