This mirror glass tiny house in the Green Mountains of Vermont offers an extraordinary escape. It was designed and constructed in Estonia and is inspired by Scandinavian architecture. Although small, the expansive glass walls dissolve the boundaries between interior and exterior, creating a sense of immersion in the surrounding landscape and offering stunning panoramas of Blueberry Lake. Every detail of this intimate 200-square-foot space has been carefully considered, from the locally sourced tableware and artisanal soaps to the plush eco-friendly mattress and luxurious bedding. It’s worth noting the house is situated high on a mountain, road conditions can be challenging during winter and spring, and you’ll need a four-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive vehicle equipped with snow tires to access the property from November to April.

Vashon Island, just off the coast of Washington State, is the perfect getaway for travelers seeking solitude. Accessible by ferry from Seattle or Tacoma, the island’s natural beauty and laid-back pace of life make for a restorative, off-the-grid stay. And within its forests, you’ll find The Wolf Den, a cozy, modern tiny cabin perfect for couples or solo adventurers. The cabin is crafted from black cedar with cathedral ceilings that create a surprisingly spacious feel, while large windows frame breathtaking views of the surrounding maple, madrona, and fir trees. Outside, you’ll find an eco-friendly bathing tub, heated by fallen timber collected from the property, where you can relax surrounded by the woodland — now that’s what I call forest bathing.

This is one for those who enjoy sustainable living and the outdoors. The Airbnb is an ideal starting point for exploring Spearfish Canyon and the broader Black Hills region. You can take in the breathtaking hills from the vaulted loft bedroom, crowned by a pentagonal window. Unlike many other listings here, this rental is classified as a glamping experience. That might well be to ensure guests manage their expectations, but from what I can glean, the Airbnb has everything you need from a compact kitchenette, a spacious porch with a grill and outdoor dining table, and even a TV — which hopefully never gets turned on, there’s excellent stargazing after all.
