8 Ideal Airbnb Getaways for Winter

When we think of winter travel, we usually envision snowy destinations where you can ski, sled or snowboard. But since the United States is huge and varied in landscape, while researching some of the best places to go we realized there are a lot of different types of “winter” getaways!

Winter in Florida is completely different than winter in Texas or in the wild terrain of Wyoming. So no matter what your ideal type of destination is, there’s something for everyone.

We’ll be highlighting some amazing Airbnb’s that will make a winter weekend getaway even more special. Let’s check out some epic places to go this winter.
