Our #1 home for the holidays has no electricity, is literally freezing inside, and turns to slush every spring
Our #1 home for the holidays has no electricity, is literally freezing inside, and turns to slush every spring. Yet guests can’t wait to come back to Antti’s Arctic igloo. Whether viewed by candlelight or the Northern Lights, it’s a place you’ll never forget. In the morning, head to the nearby park to see how fast reindeer can move when they’re not lugging a bunch of cargo around. Link in bio.

Our #10 home for the holidays is Superhost Emily’s creative cabin-and-igloo combo in the high desert. It might not be this snowy when you’re here, but that’s probably a good thing, since you won’t want anything blocking your view of the night sky or slowing down your explorations of Joshua Tree National Park or your neighbor’s front yard. (That neighbor happens to be the sprawling, wildly inventive Noah Purifoy Desert Art Museum.) Link in bio. : @thejoshuatreehangout

With the slopes of Brévent-Flégère and Grands Montets so close—not to mention world-class climbing and hiking on Aiguille Verte—it’s all too easy to neglect your après-ski game. That’d be a shame, since this Airbnb Luxe chalet includes chef services just as elevated as the rest of the place. Link in bio.
