Tucson, Arizona
Enjoy your private sliver of Sonoran Desert paradise in this scenic and spacious three-bed, 2.5 bath hilltop home near Ventana Canyon, roughly 30 minutes driving from downtown Tucson. The house, within five minutes of Sabino Canyon Recreation Area’s cactus-flanked hiking trails, features all the amenities of a home away from home: self-check-in, central air and heat, a washer/dryer, a well-stocked full kitchen, a TV with streaming services like Netflix and Disney+, and Wi-Fi, and a dedicated workspace—ergonomic chair and all. On warm desert days, enjoy a dip in the unheated mountain-view pool. Given the house’s distance from Tucson’s city lights, you can enjoy a blanket of glittering stars from the patio lounge chairs by night. The property comes with electric-vehicle car charging and a hot tub for soaking sore muscles after long desert excursions.
Bed & bath: 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bath
Joshua Tree, California
The only thing better than visiting Joshua Tree National Park is treating yourself to multiple visits via an extended stay within 15 minutes of the park entrance—and that’s exactly what this sleek and stylish two-bed, two-bath rental home has to offer. The self-check-in house, built with double master bedrooms and central A/C in February 2023, overlooks mountains and cactus-studded surrounds from its numerous floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors. A palm-framed outdoor pool and Jacuzzi provide even more Mojave Desert views; pool heating is available for $300 per day. During your stay, experiences can range from hiking the national park—don’t miss the yucca-flanked Skull Rock loop—to admiring constellations and planets by the toasty firepit. The expansive kitchen bar is a great remote work perch. It's built into the open floorplan kitchen, dining, and living room space, where sliding glass doors overlook the pool and distant peaks, and a cozy fireplace and couch provide the perfect reading nook.

Jonesville, North Carolina
Rise and shine amidst North Carolina’s Brushy Mountains in this scenic one-bedroom, one-bath escape. Woodland scenery is the main attraction in this hilltop home—a perfect getaway for long-term stays, with an extra loft for visiting guests. Sweeping windows abound, including a glass wall that covers nearly the entire “A” in this A-frame home. While the quiet cabin feels remote, it’s surprisingly close to several of the state’s northwest attractions. The city of Winston Salem is 45 minutes away by car, coffeeshops and antique stores in charming Elkin are within 10 minutes. Vineyards throughout the Yadkin Valley Wine Region surround you—including the Raffaldini Vineyard, which you can see from your own patio. The forested exterior is tranquil and woodsy, but inside, the aesthetic is bright, airy, and stylish, with a full kitchen, cozy living room, an HDTV with Netflix and Roku, and speedy internet. An outdoor hot tub is an ideal spot to watch the sky transition from sunset to shimmering stars.

This stunning Idaho farmhouse looks straight out of a period film, and is situated in a great spot for anyone yearning for time outdoors (you're near Jackson, Wyoming; Grand Teton National Park; Yellowstone National Park; and Grand Targhee Ski Resort). The neighborhood is secluded, with large lots and unobstructed views of the Tetons. Inside, there's a decked-out kitchen outfitted with Viking appliances, a dining nook, three bedrooms, including one with two twin beds for the kids, and a cozy (if slightly formal) living area. Other highlights: the large laundry room, wood-burning fireplace, and outdoor grill.

A pool is must come summer, and in Palm Springs, you can take a dip year round. We suspect you'll be spending lots of time around the centerpiece of this mid-century desert home, either splashing in the water or sitting under the shade in one of the many outdoor lounge chair options. Two of the four bedrooms, as well as the living room, lead out to the back patio and pool through sliding glass doors. It's worth noting that the house is definitely best-suited to families—one bedroom has two king-size beds, and the fourth bedroom is really a sectionedoff portion of another bedroom. Still, there is plenty of room for up to eight guests, darkening shades for a good night's sleep, air conditioning, and a dishwasher and washing machine, among other amenities.
Bed & bath: 4 bedrooms, 2 baths

For those looking to head to Cape Cod for the summer or fall, this Wellfleet home, built in 2017, is a short stroll over from the bay, Marconi Beach, and a biking trail. It has room for nine across four bedrooms, including one with both a king and twin bed (the other three rooms have a queen or king bed), two bathrooms, a full kitchen with an eight-person dining table, large living space, a desk in one bedroom, and a screened-in deck with another dining table, ideal for working or dining outside. The attached outdoor deck has lounge chairs and a grill, too.

This quaint 1930s bungalow has just enough room for a couple or a small family looking to spend some time near Monterey. Centrally located and in walking distance of both the beach and the Monterey Bay Coastal Rec Trail, it's also a short drive from all the major attractions (when open, the Monterey Bay Aquarium is a can't-miss). It's also just a short drive from a Safeway for stocking the kitchen's retro pale blue Smeg. The single bedroom has a queen-sized bed, and children's amenities like a Pack-n-Play, high chair, and baby bath are available if you need. The living room's smart TV has cable, Netflix, and HBO GO, so you can at least watch movies about travel if your outside-the-house adventures are still limited. There's also a back patio for grilling and evenings spent sitting by the fire pit.

Set on two acres of wooded land in Yarmouth, Maine (between Freeport and Portland), you'll have plenty of space to roam here. But with all the house's perks, you could just as easily hunker down and spend your days soaking in the large marble-lined tub, grilling on the deck, or soaking up the sun—nearly every room has multiple windows looking out to the surrounding trees, so the interior is not short on natural light. The kitchen is well stocked for long stays, too, with pantry essentials, All-Clad cookware, and both a French press and coffee maker at your disposal. If you do feel like venturing out, bicycles are provided to pedal into town, or you could drive about 10-15 minutes to the aforementioned cities.
Bed & bath: 4 bedrooms, 2 baths
Courtesy of AirbnbArden, North Carolina
Just outside of Asheville, this one-bedroom Arden, North Carolina, make a perfect home base for a couple or solo traveler; there's a crib and other supplies available for those traveling with a baby, and up to two dogs are allowed, too. It's a 15-minute drive from downtown Asheville (don't skip a meal at 12 Bones Smokehouse), and 10 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway; though you can just as easily take in the Blue Ridge Mountain views from home. The deck has a dining table, rocking chairs, and fire pit, and the adjacent open-plan living and dining area offers equally gorgeous views. Other notable details: a full bathroom and a half bath with laundry room, well-stocked kitchen, and picturesque front porch with a skylight, fan, and porch swing.
Bed & bath: 4 bedrooms, 2 baths
Courtesy of AirbnbRuidosa, Texas
A house this ridiculously gorgeous is made for staying a while. Located in West Texas near Ruidosa, a small town near the U.S.-Mexico border, and an hour and a half south of Marfa, it's remote, but equipped with everything you need: a washing machine, Wi-Fi and landline, dishes and silverware, and a coffee maker. However, it's better suited for fall or winter visits—there are portable cooling units, but not proper air-conditioning; the solar-powered house does have heating, though. Inside, you'll find two bedrooms, both with sliding glass doors looking out to the surrounding hills and mountains, a fully-equipped kitchen, and a living space with equally stunning views.
