9. Rustic cabin in Bahía Ballena
This beautiful, affordable cabin is perfect for a quick weekend getaway. The house is close to the beach, where you’re bound to spot some wildlife – including dolphins and whales! You have the cabin to yourself, which includes a bedroom with two double beds, a basic kitchen, and living room. The kitchen may look basic, but it contains everything you’ll need to cook. With the heat in the area, you’re not going to want to be cooking big meals. Be warned though that there’s no hot water available at the property, and the hosts have pre-warned you to bring plenty of sun cream and bug repellent. There are also bikes available for rent.
