Caught a case of the winter blues? There's no better way to beat them than by booking a stay in a cozy winter cabin rental. There are plenty of cabins and lodges in remote, snowy locations that make for an ideal winter escape. This fun winter activity is great for families and couples alike, and it offers the perfect opportunity to show off all of your favorite fashionable winter staples. And don't worry, Ree Drummond has all the packing tips you'll need for a last-minute weekend away! Might we suggest Christmas puzzles, cozy throw blankets, and a whole slew of Christmas movies?
Packing aside, you have to pick a destination first! If you're like the Drummond crew and love to ski (except for Ree!), then you'll love places like Big Sky, Montana, or the Northeast Kingdom section of Vermont. You might even try Vail, Colorado. (And while you're at it, check out Alex's guide to Vail.) Anyone who's more on the stay-inside-and-drink-cocoa side will want to look at the cabins in New York's Finger Lakes region—it's right on a huge wine trail. You may even be able to find a scenic Christmas train ride while you're visiting! Either way, these winter cabin destinations will be perfect snowy getaways for you and your family. And once you're done, these gorgeous Christmas towns in the U.S. and best Christmas inns will keep you dreaming of winter wonderlands.
