2. The campground house (from USD 200)

A countryside haven is what best describes this Airbnb rental.

Despite its relative seclusion, there is a fair number of stores and restaurants nearby.

Whether you go stargazing at night or fish during the day, this apartment is extremely therapeutic for the tired metropolitan soul.
