The narrow 14th-century streets of Bukchon Hanok Village can make you lose track of where—or when—you are. This renovated hanok in the heart of the neighborhood can have the same effect (at least until you use the distinctly 21st-century toiletries). Check out the two palaces that flank the neighborhood or ask your Superhost, Han, for local tips while savoring the traditional breakfast he provides each day. Photo: @analog_hanok_in_bukchon

The downside of a place as cozy as Superhost Elsa’s tiny home is that it tends to make you rip through your reading material. Head to Malaprop’s Bookstore/Cafe to replenish your supply. When you’re ready for some real-life adventure, the trails of Mt. Mitchell are within a short drive along the spectacular Blue Ridge Parkway. Photo: @_jonathanaguirre

Superhost Kay’s apartment puts you in the heart of the lovely old Bergmannkiez neighborhood. To get your bearings, climb the hill in Viktoriapark for a view of the city. (If it’s snowy, you can sled back down.) For lunch, walk to the 19th-century Marheineke Markthalle and prepare to be overwhelmed with options. Photo: @spardhamalik

Superhosts Sara and Eric’s midcentury chalet is equally well suited for hitting the slopes or hanging out by the fire (or in a sunny spot on the floor). A shuttle to Big Bear Mountain Resort is a short walk away. If you ever want a break from the ski/après-ski cycle, check out Big Bear Alpine Zoo, which rehabilitates and releases injured native wildlife. Photo: @treehauschalet

In the corner of Vermont known as the Northeast Kingdom, this treehouse above Walker Pond is one of the most regal castles. After a day on the slopes of Jay Peak Resort, have a soak in the handmade cedar tub. When you get hungry, nearby Newport has some great new places to try, though you might have a hard time outdoing the waffles and local syrup provided by your Superhosts, Andrew and Marilou.

Superhost Robin’s treehouse is cradled by Douglas Firs high above a vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The view has a way of making guests linger, but the beach is only a half-hour away. If you do venture out, here’s some pretty good advice: start your day with a Good Morning Sandwich at Pretty Good Advice, a produce-driven takeout spot just down the mountain. Photo: @prachi9
Erika’s home may be tiny—this is most of it—but why put more house between you and the Southern Highlands?
