Since the onset of the pandemic last year, Airbnb bookings have skyrocketed, including in rural areas of the U.S., which saw hosts earn more than $200 million in June — a more than 25 percent increase in earnings compared to the previous year. And the urge to get the hell out of the house and kick that cabin fever amid this pandemic has yet to subside. In fact, many are planning staycations at nearby Airbnbs, including — and especially — during this frigid winter.
Just picture it: You’re lounging on the couch, you have a hot cocoa in hand, and you’re covered head-to-toe in thermal blankets. The snow is slowly falling, as the fireplace roars. It’s truly picture-perfect — and many Airbnbs offer just this.
Whether you’re in the midst of planning your next winter vacation or you merely want to get your fix by clicking through some winter Airbnb porn, ahead, we’ve gathered some of the best Airbnbs boasting those can’t-miss winter views.
