There’s nothing quite like a Christmas cabin vacation, nestled away in peaceful woods far where you can reconnect to nature and loved ones. Whether you’re staying in an Asheville cabin or a Texas Hill Country bunkhouse, you don’t need snow to have a jolly time. Inject more holiday magic into your holiday getaway with these tips!

Ways to Plan a Merry Getaway

Renting a cabin with plenty of campground amenities is a perfect holiday vacation idea for families and couples. You get the privacy and comfort of a cabin along with the features of a resort. There are also pet-friendly cabins so the whole family can enjoy. Plus, you’re located outside of the hustle and bustle but close enough to local excursions.

There are a variety of ways to make your cabin getaway more festive. With a little creativity and effort, you’ll have an incredible holiday experience! Here are five ideas for a magical Christmas cabin vacation:

Add a Couple of Decorations

We’re not saying you have to “deck the halls” but a string of Christmas lights, a holiday wreath, or table centerpieces are an easy, quick way to sprinkle holiday magic in your cabin rental. Additionally, a few treasured decorations won’t take up much packing space yet they can transform the cabin into a cozy retreat.

Hike in a Winter Wonderland

Breathe fresh, crisp air and enjoy spectacular winter views while getting a great workout. During the day, explore hiking trails that wind through pristine woods, then relax in your toasty cabin at night watching a Christmas movie. Remember to always check the weather, wear layers, stay hydrated, and watch for uneven paths that snow can cover.

Visit Festive Attractions

Check online for holiday events at nearby attractions that are happening when you’re going to be there on vacation. Not only are they a fun way to pass the time while supporting the local community, but you’ll also create special holiday memories that will last a lifetime.

Whip Up Holiday Treats

One of the best things about Christmas is all the yummy food! Make your favorite holiday treats like Santa cookies, gingerbread house, peppermint bark, and more. Even if you’re not the baking type or your rustic cabin doesn’t have an oven, you can still enjoy treats by packing them beforehand or buying from a local artisan.

Stargaze by a Campfire

After a long day of adventure, enjoy a “Silent Night” at your cabin looking up at a sky full of stars with a blanket wrapped around you at a crackling fire. Swap stories and reconnect while sipping on hot chocolate or wine from a nearby winery.

Keep the Magic Alive All Year

There are many reasons why cabin rentals make wonderful Christmas family vacations. From being close to nature and privacy from other guests to the wide selection of activities and attractions, your holiday getaway will be unforgettable. Also, it’s easy to make a cabin feel festive because it’s cozy like a home rather than a cookie-cutter hotel room.

Fortunately, Christmas isn’t the only time of year to experience the magic of cabins. Each season has its own charm, which is why now is an ideal time to plan your trip and create new memories.
