1. A Glass Cabin in the Arctic Circle (Norway)
Imagine watching the northern lights dance across the sky from the comfort of a cozy glass cabin. At this Norwegian retreat, one can feel a panoramic view of the Arctic wilderness through the glass façades and the glass roof.

From a relaxing fireside evening to stargazing from your bedroom, this cabin is designed to provide an unforgettable experience.
2. The Treehouse Cabin on Whidbey Island (Washington, USA)
Hugged by the trees, this whimsical cabin combines the magic of childhood with the pleasure of adulthood. Perched on the back of a rough timber suspension bridge, the treehouse is both rustic looking, with timber beams and skirted furniture, and panoramic, with large windows looking into the forest canopy. String lights and a hammock in private patios provide the ideal location for birdwatching and stargazing or drinking a cup of coffee listening to bird songs.
3. The Hobbit-Inspired Cabin (New Zealand)
In the New Zealand foothills, this Hobbit cabin immerses the sense as if a scene straight from Tolkien’s work. Rounded arch, turf roof, and stones lend an air of fairytale to the outside and an indoor feel of modernity with features such as a fireplace, plush beds, and even a modern kitchen. A treat for lovers of fantasy or anyone just craving a quick trip to a fantastic world, this is as magical as the stories that smother it.
4. Floating Cabin on Lake Bled (Slovenia)
Set in the tranquil lap of Lake Bled this water cabin offers a unique way to connect with the environment. The small area is furnished with green, sustainable materials and a little deck, to have breakfast and admire the beautiful view of the emblematic temple church. A paddleboard and a kayak are part of the stay and guests may, therefore, enjoy the lake from their front door (or dock).
5. The Desert Dome Cabin (Joshua Tree, California)
This futuristic geodesic dome sits in the heart of Joshua Tree National Park, providing an extraordinary combination of rugged desert beauty and modern comfort. Thanks to this special design of the dome, a 360-degree vision system, with very large windows and skylights is mounted in the center allowing one to look at the surrounding desert, in other words, the interior space is illuminated with exterior lights. Inside, the interior is tastefully decorated with global chic and creates a calm haven for all-day relaxing after a hike in the rocky desert or stargazing under the open desert sky.
6. The Rustic Cabin with Hot Tub Overlook (British Columbia, Canada).
Up high in the hills of British Columbia, this cozy cabin provides a panoramic view of snowy mountains and deep forest. One specialty of this Airbnb is its cliff-edge hot tub that provides a rare chance to take a break from the everyday routine whilst having a view of the natural world. The interior is a blend of traditional log cabin aesthetics and modern touches and is an ideal option for travelers and those looking for a getaway.
7. Underground Cabin in the Scottish Highlands (Scotland)
This discreet Scottish find is constructed directly down into the hillside and is so blended into the landscape that it is difficult to see. It is roomed-roofed, an end-planed structure that tends to be concealed in the distance, and the roomed-roofed, end-planed structure as a whole enhances the sense of mystery. Inside, there is a lounge with a wood-burning fireplace as a focal point, plush seating, and sweeping windows bathing in the dramatic scenery of the Highland regions. A retreat, which provides people with the opportunity of solitude and deep experience in the wild.
8. Bamboo Cabin in Bali (Indonesia)
This bamboo house, hidden in the Balinese rainforests, is a green architecture triumph. The free, trialed plan subverts this division between inside and outside, from where the walls slope inwards to reveal a very grounded scene of foliage and a slow ebb of gently sloped water on its surface. The interior is a contemporary minimalist room made in equal parts with a traditional Balinese atmosphere, furnished with handmade crafts, with all kinds of luxurious touches, for example, a rain shower. Meditating on the deck or hanging out in the hammock, there is a slice of paradise in this cabin.
9. Modern A-Frame in the Catskills (New York, USA)
Romantic, grand, and chic, this contemporary-design A-frame cabin embodies mid-century style in peaceful Catskill’s solitude. Its atypical triangular shape is counteracted by wall-to-wall glass that fills the space with natural light. The wood-burning stove is freestanding in the ground floor open plan living room with views to the forest on the first-floor landing. Guests are accommodated with a fire pit and Adirondack chairs, which provide nightly light to enjoy the sky.
10. The Snowy Igloo Cabin (Finland)
A genuine other point of view is possible through this igloo-like cabin in Finland which allows for an overnight stay in a snow- and ice-filled box. The interior, however, is anything but cold—heated floors, plush fur throws, and warm lighting create a snug and welcoming environment. The thing that makes the cabin special is, for example, the free view from the dome ceiling, with which it is possible to enjoy the northern lights. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to “be there” and see the wonder of the Arctic.
