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.

From there, follow the hiking trails to some of the most over-the-top glaciers and waterfalls of this otherworldly valley. Photo: @gilles_havet_visuals

Superhost Candice’s rural getaway is an elegant way to get to know the Breede River Valley. When you’re out discovering local wineries and farm stalls, be sure to stop along the way at Bully & Koos for lunch with a side of butternut fritters. Back at Candice’s, you can catch up on your exercise, whether that means a vigorous swim in the lake or occasionally dipping a toe to the patio to gently rock the hammock. Photo: @vivamaca
