The 9 best Christmas Airbnbs in the US

Set on two acres, the barn is a peaceful retreat in Upstate New York with nearby swimming, hiking trails and skiing slopes. Inside you’ll find an ultra-calming oasis that sleeps up to four guests. We dig the blend of natural wood and cool-toned neutrals throughout, giving the home a cozy but current feel. Enjoy mealtimes in the very stylish kitchen while enjoying woodland views, toast marshmallows on the wrap-around porch, or our personal favourite enjoy an audiobook in the tub. Dreamy.

Location perks: just in case you were dreaming of a white Christmas, the surrounding woodlands look magical when it snows.

How about a kicking back with the fam in this classic two-bed terrace in Logan Square? We picked it because it’s quite the character; it’s what the Brits might term a bish-bosh of antique and modern design. We like to keep it eclectic. Roomy enough for seven, this apartment rental is a great option for short and long stays.

Location perks: This beautifully furnished home sits in a quiet neighbourhood.

Just five minutes from Alki Beach is this extremely idyllic tiny home complete with a private patio. Boasting a minimalistic layout, this place gives off total Scandi vibes and we're here for it. Every inch of this place is custom-built for a relaxing wintry retreat for up to four. There are lots of thoughtful design elements handcrafted from reclaimed timber like the bedroom door, light fixture and ladder, all of which bring so much warmth and character to this small but cozy space. 

Location perks: You'll find a stash of board games, books and a sound system to enjoy.

Now this four-bed Swiss-inspired mountain hut is what we call a total suntrap. Surrounded by serene woodlands courtesy of having the National Forest on your doorstep, this secluded home is ideal for those wanting a cosy, intimate winter getaway with the fam. Inside, you'll find relaxing honey-coloured interiors constructed from maple plywood and a beautiful back garden area with log firewood outside.

Location perks: Incredible window views of the surrounding woodlands. Guests are also encouraged to take a tour of the neighboring Sugar House.

If you fancy heading down to Tenessee, we recommend cozying up in this modern cottage in 12-South. Just a stone's throw from downtown for shops and restaurants, this snug one-bed is perfectly situated for a small family of four. Equipped with a full kitchen, living room, a decent-sized bedroom and a back garden, the cottage makes the ideal home from home. 

Location perks: Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, the cottage provides a peaceful retreat - ideal for Christmas eve.

Aside from being right by the highway ( a bit of a bummer, we know), this place is pretty neat. It's built on the banks of the McKenzie River, meaning you get the most incredible views of the water while hanging out on the deck. Head inside and you'll find a two-story space:  a cozy lounge, kitchen area, and full bathroom at the bottom, and a large bedroom and half bathroom up top. Roomy enough to sleep four and some of the most dramatic landscapes right on your porch. Not bad after all. 

Location perks: Less than 30 minutes away, you'll find Cougar Hot Springs.

Christmas day by the lake anyone? Waking up to these mesmerizing views is quite the occasion even without the ceremonious unwrapping of gifts. Not to mention this homestead has a very spacious layout - we're taking big enough to host seven, so it's a good thing there are two bathrooms. Style-wise, the rooms are simple, yet tastefully decorated for a classic modern feel.

Location perks: Set on the edge of a seven-acre private lakeside. 

If your idea of an ideal getaway includes hiking trails, paddle boarding, and farm animals, then stop scrolling immediately.

Fully kitted out with modern amenities including a full kitchen and a wood-heated hot tub, the treehouse is a literal haven for up to seven happy campers.

Location perks: Set on 80 dreamy acres. Can't complain.
