Let’s face it: Sometimes “roughing it” just isn’t in the cards. But with the right cabin rental, you can still get the feeling of camping while enjoying the comforts of home. The list of options below runs the gamut from luxurious (a lakeside retreat with floor-to-ceiling windows) to rustic (a cabin on a flower farm with no running water or electricity), but all of them prioritize natural light, open air, and incredible views.
