Dreamy retreats: A peek at the most wishlisted Airbnb cabins across Canada

Feb 11 2023, 10:13 pm

Some people love winter, but others? Not so much. Perhaps, though, you’d more likely to embrace the cold if you were staying in one of Airnb’s Pinterest-worthy cabins.

According to Airbnb, Canadian hosts offering cabin stays collectively earned over CAD$112 million just in the third quarter of 2022 alone.

And it’s easy to see why: these spaces offer guests a chance to savour the outdoors and disconnect from it all.

“Our Cabins Category makes it easier to find cozy stays from coast-to-coast-to coast inspiring guests to wind down, reconnect and enjoy Canada’s winter wonderland,” states the release.

From a charming treehouse in BC to a luxurious chalet in Québec, these are the top locations that guests have been adding to their wish lists:
