If booking a trip to the Dominican Republic seems like too much for a weekend getaway, and you rather swap the palm trees for towering oaks, you can book a stay at one of the best tiny home rentals in the U.S., just a two and a half hour drive from NYC!
Postcard Cabins was listed on USA Today’s 10 Best tiny house rentals ranking, and offers a premium glamping experience in the eastern Catskills mountain. The 85-acres of private property boasts 56 tiny cabins.
Now part of Marriott Bonvoy, Postcard Cabins has set out to offer “picture-perfect stays in nature” since it’s founding in 2015. Imagine cradling a steamy cup of coffee as you watch the sunrise over the mountains, sinking into your favorite book by the window, or gazing at a sky full of stars while you let a crackling fire warm you.
While the homes may be compact, the amenities are impressive—offering WiFi, air conditioning and heat, a hot shower, a private toilet, picnic table and chairs, a two-burner stove and your choice of a queen bed or bunk beds. Firewood, fire starter and s’mores are also available for purchase.
Guests can rest assured they’ll have everything they need with a 24/7 Guest Experience Team available via text or a landline in the cabin.
And although the surrounding tranquil forest is nothing short of beautiful, it’s what’s located nearby that’s the true showstopper. Just a half hour hike (2.5 miles) from Postcard Cabins lies Kaaterskill Falls, the highest cascading waterfall in New York State. This breathtaking natural wonder descends in two tiers with a combined drop of 260 feet.
If you’re looking for a tiny home rental outside of New York, you can explore Postcard Cabins’ 28 other locations across the country—all within a two-hour ride from a major city. “It’s a great way for city-dwellers to escape the hustle and bustle for some time out in nature,” wrote USA Today.
