7 Cozy Cabins for a Winter Getaway
There’s nothing quite like retreating to a charming log cabin come winter. Whether you want to roast marshmallows, snuggle up around a fire pit, or hit the slopes, here, the best winter getaways in America.
The Rustic Inn, Wyoming
Keep your binoculars by your side during a stay at The Rustic Inn in Jackson, Wyoming, as the property is set on 12 acres near the National Elk Refuge, attracting deer, elk, moose, osprey, falcons and other species to the property. Just a few blocks from the downtown square in Jackson Hole, Wisconsin, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds – a luxe cabin stay and the lively hum of a town center. Spend your days exploring the snow-drenched slopes on skis, by saddle or by snowmobile, retreating to The Rustic End by night to warm up by the fire pits or to take a dip in the heated outdoor pool.

Camp Wandawega, Wisconsin
For one of the best nostalgic winter getaways, look no further than Camp Wandawega. Set between Milwaukee and Chicago in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, it feels like an adult’s summer camp, with kitschy-named cabins like Chipmunk, a pair of vintage digs; Raccoon, a three-bedroom cabin overlooking the surrounding lake and wetlands; Deer, an old-school bunkhouse complete with retro furnishings, a communal kitchenette, and camp showers; and Bear, another bunkhouse, which comfortably sleeps you and your 23 friends. And the best part? There’s a Manifesto of Low Expectations, so you can break all the rules you want (we won't tell!).

The Suttle Lodge, Oregon
In the heart of Oregon’s Deschutes National Forest is The Suttle Lodge, a hip, city-meets-country escape.

Strap on some snowshoes and hike around the lake to work off your meal, or opt to enjoy snacks and suds at the lodge's bar or beer garden.
