Are you looking to find a rental to stay at for your next ski vacation? Back in December, Airbnb listed eleven ski rentals that the most people have wishlisted on their website. The results reveal a surprising list of properties around the world, some of which aren’t considered top downhill skiing destinations. The Airbnbs, which are not ranked in any particular order, are below.
Le MICA-Chalets Micro-Element (Lac-Beauport, Quebec): This modern home is located only 25 minutes away from Old Quebec. The two-bedroom, one-bathroom home features huge glass windows, a large kitchen, and multiple fireplaces. The home has direct access to mountain biking, hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and fat biking trails. The closest ski resorts are Relay ski center and Stoneham Mountain Resort.
Breathtaking Mountain Views (Fjordane, Norway): Located at the Langeland nordic ski resort, this is probably the most architecturally stunning Airbnb on this list. The one-bedroom, half-bathroom Airbnb gives direct views of the mountains. Reaching the home does take a fifteen-minute hike, with the closest downhill ski resort being Sunnfjord Ski Center.
Snow Igloo (Pelkosenniemi, Finland): If you have ever wanted to sleep in an igloo, this is the spot. The one-bedroom igloo is located at the Lucky Ranch, and is nearby many winter activities, with the closest ski resort being Pyhä. Sleeping bags are provided, but you’ll need to bring a lot of layers and other warm necessities. If you do get cold, there’s a 24-hour warming hut you can stop by.
Moose Haven Cabin @ 22 West (Walden, Colorado): This remote A-frame cabin is located 9000 feet above sea level. Its remoteness results in no running water in the home, and there’s an outhouse rather than the traditional bathroom.
The perks though are having plentiful hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing options around you. The two-bedroom home has a wood stove on the inside, a shower house that’s a short walk away, accessible well water, a fire pit, and a grill.

Lipowe Wzgórze Limanowa (Mordarka, Poland): If you’re interested in taking the wock to Poland, this Airbnb is just 50 meters from Limanowa Ski, a small ski resort. The building has apartments for guests from multiple parties. Guests have access to the basement, which has billiards, a fireplace, fitness equipment, a modern kitchen, and more.
Modern House w/ Unreal View of Lone Peak (Big Sky, Montana): This chalet has striking views of Lone Peak & Big Sky Resort. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom Airbnb features custom bunk beds, a hot tub, a ping pong table, multiple fireplaces, a bar, and a laundry room.
The chalet is a three-minute drive away from one of Big Sky’s base areas, and a .3 mile ski/walk down to White Otter 2 lift, but you can’t ski back to the house from there.
The Fox A-Frame (Breckenridge, CO): Ranked as one of the best Colorado Airbnb’s in 2020 by Condé Nast Traveler, this secluded, A-frame cabin has two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
