Think the winter season is just for snowball fights and shoveling driveways? Think again! In general, the cool season is linked to feelings of comfort and relaxation.

Without further ado, here are our picks for the world’s top winter destinations and the cottage rentals for your next getaway!
Aspen, Colorado—Where the Snow and Stars Meet
The ski slopes are steep and the hot chocolates are steeped with peppermint over in Aspen. It’s the kind of place where you can schuss all day and schmooze at night.
So why not snag one of these luxurious cottages with doorstep access to the slopes and maybe a hot tub to melt away the evening chill?
Where to Stay: A charming West End carriage house
As the last snowflake settles, our Aspen story wraps up. But hold onto your hats as we’re off to the Scottish Highlands, where the winters are long and the excitement lasts longer!
The Scottish Highlands—Frosty Fables and Warm Fires
Ever wanted to party like it’s 1599? In the Scottish Highlands, you can stomp your snowy boots in medieval castles and sip whisky older than some countries!
These stone-built cottages come with fireplaces big enough to roast a haggis (or just marshmallows if you’re not feeling that adventurous). It’s all the fun of the past without giving up Wi-Fi.
Where to Stay: The Shepherd’s Cottage in Strathcarron
As we leave the lore-laden landscapes of Scotland, let’s zip over to the French Alps, where the fun is as high as the altitude.
The Alps, France—Ski, Sip, Repeat
Bonjour, hiver!
In the French Alps, the snow is always fresh and the après-ski scene is just as crisp. And whether you’re carving up the slopes or cuddling up in one of our chic chalets, the French Alps will surely grant you a taste of the high life—literally!
Fancy some fondue on a balcony overlooking the mountains? Oui, s’il te plaît!
Where to Stay: Chalet Bella Cha in La Clusaz
After our alpine adventure, it’s high time we swap the French chic for some Canadian charm. Our next stop: Banff!
Banff, Canada—Where the Wild Things Frolic
Banff is basically a winter postcard that you step right into. Want to skate on a frozen lake? Check. Snowshoe in a forest straight out of a fairy tale? Double-check!
Winter getaway cottage rentals here are absolutely your own slice of a cozy kingdom. Here, a herd of majestic moose might even greet you “good morning,” if you’re lucky!
Where to Stay: This rustic and chic mountain home
From the quiet Canadian woods, let’s jet over to captivating Japan, where the snow is soft but the baths are hot!
Niseko, Japan—Snowflakes and Onsens
Niseko offers a slice of winter zen with a side of sushi. Here, the snow piles up like fluffy white pillows, perfect for boarding or just diving in.
These sleek, minimalist cottages are the ideal place to zen out after a day on the slopes or soak in a natural onsen—because why not turn that frostbite into bath time?
Where to Stay: Bliss Cottage SAKURA in Hirafu
With that, let’s circle back to the heart of these top winter getaway cottage rentals!
