1. Clay Baby: yes, it’s a super fancy shed
Clay Baby - luxury shed conversion on the river - Tiny houses for Rent in Index, Washington, United States - Airbnb
Much has been made of the “tiny home” movement in recent years. A hyper-simplistic, truly minimal abode is great for getting away from the city and simplifying. Just be. The Clay Baby is the place to go Henry David Thoreau for a few days.
2. A rooftop hot tub in the snow: the Sea Containers in Index
The Sea Containers - Cabins for Rent in Index, Washington, United States - Airbnb
Modernity in design, a repurposed vessel. The Sea Containers offer a great geometric getaway that is decidedly geometric. The brilliant colors pop amidst in the snow and trees. Is it too cold to pop to the river? Stay indoors with surround sound and a modern kitchen. You can always hop in the rooftop hot tub.
3. Hot tub time in modern digs: the Geodome in Sultan
Sky Valley GeoDomes | Huge Views + Hot Tub - Dome houses for Rent in Sultan, Washington, United States - Airbnb
Words cannot describe. This is the sort of place that I would draw in second grade while daydreaming about my dream house. A geodesic dome with views. Check it out.
4. Dancing Bear Cabin: a view of the river
Dancing Bear Cabin | Secluded | Riverview - Cabins for Rent in Gold Bar, Washington, United States - Airbnb
Modern and chic, with a corrugated metal exterior, minimal design and a firepit for toasting up some Winter Solstice marshmallows. The Dancing Bear Cabin may have a more updated feel than your typical wood cabin – and that’s what makes it all the more appealing.
5. Rise above it all at the Bear Creek Treehouse in Sultan
Bear Creek Treehouse | Hot Tub + Private Creek - Treehouses for Rent in Sultan, Washington, United States - Airbnb
A loft bedroom, a big screen, floor-to-ceiling windows... and all that privacy. It feels good to get out of the city for awhile and pursue seclusion. Find yourself in a treehouse, daydreaming in the foggy forest sky.
6. The joys of an A-frame in Granite Falls (plus a firepit for wintertime warmups)
Epic view A-frame - Hot-tub, Firepit & Fireplace - Houses for Rent in Granite Falls, Washington, United States - Airbnb
Who doesn’t love the classic A-frame cabin? It’s a design that never goes out of style, a functional shape that’s so simple that it cannot be perfected upon or further iterated. Rent this remote A-frame for a retreat. Stay here and you’ll see why the Pacific Northwest woods are legendary for their beauty and grandeur.
