Picture this: you’re curled up under a blanket, steaming mug in hand, and perhaps you have an open book or are simply listening to the crackling fire during a moment of calm. But, here’s the important question: where are you when you imagine this scene?
As we rounded up the most unique and snuggle-inducing fireplaces from Vacasa’s portfolio of 25,000+ vacation homes, we found that you don’t have to escape to a mountain to find a hygge-inspired cabin getaway—though that’s certainly a tried and true way to go about it. There are a number of destinations, from deserts to lakefronts or the beach, where you can safely retreat for a remote weekend of relaxation—whenever you’re ready to do so—complete with a fireplace to cozy up to. For inspiration, here are 10 of our favorite vacation rental and cabin fireplaces for ultimate lounging.
