Alabama
Little River Bus Stop
Alabama
Little River Bus Stop
We've all had that daydream of quitting our job to live the van life, and this blue bus in Fort Payne, Alabama can help you make that dream come true, even if just for a week. This little forest oasis has a full kitchen and two sleeping areas, each with a queen bed. There are also two different deck areas, one on the ground level and one perched on top of the bus. Take note: There is no Wi-Fi or Internet connection so this might not be the ideal space for anyone who needs to work remotely. But, the lack of internet can be a plus if you're looking to totally disconnect from the outside world.

Talkeetna Tiny Cabin
First things first: This tiny house has an indoor sauna — you don't have to trudge through the snow to get to it. It also fits a surprising number of people with a queen bed, two twin beds, a sofa bed and a floor mattress for a total of six sleeping spots. This makes it a great option for families since most tiny homes are made for only two people.

Arkansas
Cabin in the Woods
Arkansas
Cabin in the Woods
This studio cabin is exactly as advertised: a cabin in the woods. It's located on 60 acres of woodlands perfect for hiking, trail walking and even gorge scrambling. (Don't forget your safety gear!) There's a natural wading pool off of the trails and the hosts say it's full of wildlife and foliage. Day trips can be made to the town of Mountain View, the Ozark Folk Center and the Blanchard Springs Caverns. There are two Queen beds in the cabin but keep in mind that it's a studio, so the sleeping space isn't private. The host notes that you should bring tick repellant if you plan on hiking and to not rely on map applications, as they're not always reliable. If you plan to bring your dog, they request you be cautious around the neighbor's chickens.

California
Little Bear Cabin
California
Little Bear Cabin
Constellation Creek offers an enchanting view of starry night skies above the Sierra Nevada mountains. With one Queen bed, Little Bear Cabin in Sierraville, California is a perfect stay for a couple or close friends to get away for the weekend and disconnect. Outside there's a charcoal grill and a fire pit outside for s'mores. There's no Wi-Fi and the cell signal is spotty, so this is a truly unplugged stay. The host does note that the water on the property is fed by a spring, so guests need to bring their own water for drinking and cooking.

Perched at an elevation of 9000 feet, this one-room cabin is a great option if you're looking to only unplug halfway. Go hiking or mountain biking at Golden Gate Canyon Park, then settle in with amenities like Wi-Fi and a TV with various streaming services. There's only one Queen bed, but the host does offer a pack-and-play upon request. It's a 30-minute drive to Boulder, Golden, Black Hawk and the Eldora Ski Area, too.

Delaware
The Salt Box

The Salt Box
Most tiny homes are more secluded, off-the-grid stays, so if you're looking for something in the middle of a downtown area, check out this tiny house in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. You've got beach access too; it's only a 10-minute walk from the house to the boardwalk. There's a futon in the loft that can be used as a bed in addition to the primary Murphy bed. The host warns that the ladder to the loft has to be moved when the Murphy bed is down, so the loft might not be ideal for night sleeping. It sounds perfect for naps, though.

The Stoic
The Stoic tiny home rental in Pine Ridge, Kentucky is so aesthetic that it needs to make it onto your Instagram grid. The east-facing side of the rental is almost entirely made of windows so you can wake up to sunsets peaking over a rocky cliffside. There are two bedrooms, and the rental can sleep up to four people, so it's good for small groups or couples. Note that there is no oven in the kitchen, and the host says a four-wheel-drive vehicle is required to make it up the steep gravel road.
