Accommodates: 4
Bedrooms: 1

Did you grow up on The Boxcar Children and have you been waiting to recreate your literary fantasies ever since? This self-proclaimed “lil’ red caboose” can bring your childhood dreams to life. Painted in fire truck red with black trim and a yellow ladder, it couldn’t be cuter. Curling up on the queen, bunk, or sofa bed and thumbing through an old chapter book is highly recommended.

This scenic stay is perched near the junction of the Sasanoa and Kennebec Rivers. Inside, it’s home to another example of two becoming one: Two twin beds, each with their own handy reading lamp, push together to form one seamless king bed. A spiral staircase leads up to a deck, which connects the bedroom treehouse to the kitchen, bathroom, and screen-porch treehouse.

This home looks like the best possible combination between the postcard-perfect cliffside suites of Santorini, and a hobbit house. The white stone cottage flows around 900 square feet, which contain a nice bathroom, full kitchen, and plenty of nature-inspired furnishings. And if you think this place is adorable in the summer, wait ’til you see it covered in snow, like a giant igloo in the hills of Vermont.

A Lighthouse and Main House on the Edge of Buzzards Bay
Price: $540 per night
Accommodates: 8
Bedrooms: 3
Baths: 1.5
Once a U.S. Coast Guard lighthouse, this tower still stands, now offering the perfect spot to soak in some panoramic ocean views. Wind your way up the mahogany spiral staircase, then take in the dizzying vistas from the “lantern room” at the peak of the beacon. Fortunately, you won’t have to man the light all night. A renovated home is connected to the lighthouse through a breezeway—no need to choose between a good night’s sleep and great views.
