If you’re like me, then sometimes you want to stay in vacation homes to escape the cold. I love “snowbirding” to parts of the U.S. where I can have warmer weather in the winter months. For most of us, this means heading south or hopping on a plane to Hawaii.
So from beachfront homes and tropical treehouses to desert retreats and urban oases, I’ve rounded up the dreamiest vacation homes to inspire your next trip.
