Mid-century modern A-frame – Milan, New York

The vibe: stylish stay

Less than two hours north of Manhattan, this 1968 A-frame is nestled in the woods near Rhinebeck, and its magazine-spread-worthy decor reflects the era, with clean lines, bold color choices, and mid-century Danish furnishings juxtaposed with one-of-a-kind items throughout. The mod-eclectic look comes courtesy the cabin’s Brooklyn-based owners, a married fashion-designer duo who collected many of the pieces on display during their travels. But the showstopper is a wall of windows that floods the place with natural light – overlooking nothing but greenery, it makes the city feel worlds away. $354 per night.

The vibe: lavish space to spread out

Reuniting with family and friends?

Sequoia House – Russian River Valley, California

The vibe: low-tech romantic hideaway

For a romantic weekend à deux, there aren’t many settings prettier than a cozy riverside cabin surrounded by ancient redwoods, and this Russian River Valley beauty says amour inside and out. Minutes from town and beach, the extensive property makes a great hideaway, with no TV or cellphone reception to distract from the serious business of relaxation and reconnection. Heat up in the outdoor sauna, then pop a bottle of bubbly, stash it in the creek to keep it cold, and settle in for an unforgettable date night on the water. (And in case you need another excuse to go solo, no kids under 8 are allowed.) $488 per night.
