Sometimes a getaway needs to actually get you away. Not just from the daily routines and rigmarole, but to somewhere far enough off the beaten path that the stay becomes a different kind of R&R—something truly immersive, that a spa day can’t hold a candle to. Maybe you’re traveling solo and craving real alone time, or you just want a weekend trip that comes with some guaranteed exposure to nature. Whatever the reason, the remote vacation rentals below were chosen to offer a stay where the environment is both design-forward and completely restorative.

Ahead, 10 great homes worth disappearing to for a weekend (or longer).

The Sea Ranch House

Tucked away in the Northern California coastal community of Sea Ranch, this award-winning ’70s cabin is made for the design-minded traveler craving a quiet getaway. It’s a one-bedroom, one-bath home that looks directly out to the coastal redwoods, with hiking trails to the Gualala River and a sunny picnic spot just minutes away. The kitchen is lined in Heath Ceramics tile with mossy green wood cabinets that speak to the region's signature architecture. The living room is anchored by a cozy wood-burning stove, with a record player nearby for nights in, and a pull-out sofa makes room for more guests. Two large decks wrap the house, one with a propane fire pit and the other with a hot tub for stargazing under the redwoods.

Marfa Studio House

If you’re looking for an artistic, remote stay in the desert, Marfa is the destination for that. Guests often compare this newly built house to a Donald Judd space, with its spare, art-minded design and layout. It’s split into three studios, each with its own entrance, bath, and private patio. The main studio has a full kitchen, dinner seating for six, and a fireplace, while the library studio has a vintage wood-burning stove and a daybed for reading. A soaking pool, open March through November, faces desert skies, and Starlink keeps you connected when you’re this far off the grid. It’s a smart pick for those craving style-forward solitude.

Architecturally Designed A-Frame

Located in the small town of Groveland (which you hit right before the entrance of Yosemite National Park) sits this gorgeous A-frame in a private community. Reworked by design studio Alta Projects, the cabin pairs whitewashed paneling and dark pine floors with a stone fireplace, George Nelson pendants, and a chalet-style kitchen in white oak and walnut. There is a loft upstairs that has a projector over the bed and a ladder up to a sheepskin-lined nook. It’s a cozy fall base for exploring one of California’s most striking national parks.

Graybarn at Copake Lake

This expansive property really speaks for itself, from the infinity-edge pool above the meadow to the restored barn’s exposed beams and wall of windows facing the hills. Thoughtful furnishings and decor (including a wall of decorative plates) are sprinkled throughout. The open kitchen has a breakfast island and a dining table for ten—bring your whole friend group and reconnect with nature. Downstairs, you’ll find the game room, indoor swings, and a Peloton angled toward the view in case you get antsy. In the evenings, light up the stone fire pit and wood-fired pizza oven on the patio or drive 20 minutes to the town of Hudson.

Hata Dome

Looking for a place so remote it feels like you’re on another planet? This award-winning concrete dome in the high desert is designed to look like a UFO, with soaring curved ceilings, plaster walls the color of the moon, and furniture carved from boulders. Out back, a circular saltwater pool faces the mountains, along with a fire pit made for stargazing. A big plus? Joshua Tree National Park is just 20 minutes away.

Falls Road

This large, 19th-century barn has been restored to highlight its high ceilings, oversized doors, and sweeping views of the Catskills from nearly every window. An open kitchen, a long dining table, and a moody blue TV room make it easy to settle in. And with five bedrooms spread across the main house and a separate studio, there’s room for multiple families or a big group of friends. Spend the days exploring the wilderness of Hudson and the evenings around the fire pit.

Out back, a big deck with a hot tub and grill overlooks the valley. It’s ideal for a family reunion or a group of friends, with a fireplace and board games for cozy nights in. In fall and winter, head 18 minutes into Aspen for dinner and shopping, or ski Snowmass, Highlands, and Buttermilk once the lifts open.

Crossbridge House & Apartment

This historic New England house sits on 25 private acres with a pond, a gazebo, and walking trails through the nearby woods.

The main house and a separate two-bedroom apartment each have their own space, so it works well for multiple families or larger groups.

Two bedrooms, two full baths, a small kitchen, and a living area make it a good fit for two couples or a small family, and guests are free to wander the property down to the river. Ghost Ranch and the white rock formations of Plaza Blanca are close by, and Santa Fe and Taos are easy day trips if you end up craving some social time.
