11 rustic Airbnb cabins in the Catskills you can book for under $200 a night

This cabin is everything I hoped for when searching out a log home: classic mahogany exterior, rich wood walls, and knotted pine fixtures. There's so much wood in fact, that a few white walls almost look misplaced. If you really want to hole up in winter, book now. The extremely reasonable rate is currently available in winter too, and the schedule is wide open in January and February. A Catskills rarity!

However, it's not totally roughing it — there's also a private wood-fired steam sauna, perfect for a chilly evening.

Here's one for the craft beer drinkers: a cottage nestled in a field behind the lauded Catskill Brewery. Formerly the brewmaster's residence, the small cabin is totally private, and available for rental. Ideal for a solo traveler or couple, there's a small, quaint farmhouse kitchen and queen bed. An abundance of sleek wood creates a Scandinavian feel, coupled with minimal decor and a neutral palette. Grab a brew and hunker down on the deck.

Originally a barn from 1840, this historic cabin still sits on the original stone foundation. Three bedrooms comfortably fit groups into the beamed, loft-like space with wood-burning stove. Explore five acres of protected land filled with apple, ash, pine, oak, and maple trees, and loads of hiking. Fun fact: the stone steps are from the 1900s, and were built for dismounting from a horse carriage.

A tiny house seems tailor made for a Catskills getaway, and this sweet home feels especially idyllic. It's situated mere steps from a pond, wild mountain stream, and waterfall.

Your artist host designed this whimsical, custom-built abode with nature in mind. Walls, beams, and arches are all crafted with natural pine and hemlock wood for a soft look that's peaceful and light. Antique furniture, plush down pillows, barn wood stairs, and a propane stove set a soothing tone inside, while outside, the private stone courtyard with cast iron Norwegian wood stove, and bistro seating makes for a dreamy retreat.

Writes one review, "One of the best homes I have stayed in the Catskills ... The log cabin is very spacious, wel-maintained, and spotlessly clean.
