50 Of The Most Beautiful Cabins Around The World That Are Perfect For Running Away From Everyday Problems
No internet. No neighbors. Just miles and miles of trees, hills, and lakes. Sounds so relaxing, doesn't it? We all sometimes need to unwind, and nature can provide the perfect environment for it. Peaceful yet engaging. All you need is a place to sleep. Sure, a tent might do but if you own a patch of land, why not put a cabin on it?
If you're up for the challenge or simply want to drool at gorgeous places from around the world, then this subreddit is what you need. Created in 2012, this online community unites 321k people, and has plenty of dreamy woodsy abodes for every taste; big or small, luxurious or simple, it's there.
Here are some of the all-time most-upvoted ones.

I Love The Aesthetic Lines From Cabin To Deck
I’ve Wanted To Build A Cottage In The Woods For Years, And Today My Dream Was Finally Met
Recently, cabins have been increasingly more important to people. Take Getaway for example. It's a mini-vacation concept that has grown in the past six years from a few tiny rental cabins outside of Boston to 581 custom-built cabins sprinkled across 15 locations in the United States. And over the past year, Getaway's cabins have been nearly 100% occupied.
"We created a business that is socially distant for a different reason, which is to give people the time and space to disconnect and recharge," Jon Staff, Getaway's founder and CEO, told CNN Travel. "But the fact of the matter is, when we picked our heads up from the craziness [of locking down] it was like, 'oh look, our business is cabins in the woods, 100 to 250 feet apart from any other cabin in the woods, there's no check-in desk, there's no bar, there's no restaurant, there's no group fire pit.'"
There's nothing you don't need.

Unlike at hotels, where operators are "agnostic" about how guests spend their time, Staff said, "we care very much about how you spend your time, and hopefully it's doing nothing". Or getting back in touch with your partner or your kids, staring into the campfire, or simply hiking.
"Getaway has always been about disconnecting from technology and disconnecting from being scheduled and disconnecting from commitments that are scheduled at least by the hour and maybe by the 15 minutes," Staff said.
Judging by pics, so are the cabins featured in this subreddit.

Why all the down votes to a reasonable question by Thomas? The definition of bonfire suggests it's open air but not contained, 'loose' piles of logs, gathered autumn leaves, campfires, etc. Also sometimes celebratory - Guy Fawkes etc. Maybe fire pit fires are just 'fire'?

Stunning but it looks like it would be a hassle unless I'm missing something on the backside. Do you have to hump water, supplies, etc up and down yourself? Do you have to be a mountain climber to get there? Lots of logistical questions.

Was Told To Post Here. This Is An Elevated Cabin/Cottage Near Lake Simcoe, Ontario, Canada
Vote me down if you must, but another monstrosity being built in our area cutting down forest for a nice big green lawn surrounding it and a wide driveway again cutting down the forest for a green Lawnspace right along beside it. If you're going to build, please build in such a way so as to not cut down the forest habitat of our animals.

Some of them are complete homes though, too big to be a cabin. But all stunning
There are 'cottages' in north Ontario that are bigger than a lot of McMansions. It's ludicrous, they're really just second totally city-like homes.

Not enough of these show the inside which is a real shame. They are all stunning though and makes me so jealous.
Loved the photos. These cabins are one of a kind. Not all are to my liking but others probably did like them. Thank you for posting them.
What’s with all the Disney-esque cabins? I thought the first was cute but by the third I was beginning to imagine a little village in the woods somewhere and then that began to feel a bit less cute and a bit more corny. Or is there a company somewhere selling kits? They are sweet but personally I prefer something a little more authentic. The whole list is wish list stuff though.
Enjoyed all of these. I sincerely hope all the ones in the western U.S. survive.
If I don’t get married and live with my s/o in a cozy cabin like this, then is it even worth it?
Although they are incredibly practical in areas with a lot of snow, I'm not, and never have been a fan of A Frames. I could move into first choice ,#34 second choice #70 tomorrow, all year round and be in heaven.
All of them look amazing and cozy, and perfect for a quiet weekend or a short escape. Not sure I could live there permanently though. Guess I'm too much a big city person.
