Over the past 8+ years of running this travel blog, I’ve personally reviewed hundreds of hotels, vacation rentals, and glamping stays across more than 69 countries.
From mountaintop cabins in Vermont to cave hotels in Greece and boutique riads in Morocco, I’ve experienced it all. And when I’m not reviewing stays firsthand, I’m working with my small team of trusted content writers and editors to help curate the most unique, photo-worthy, and well-reviewed places to stay worldwide.
This isn’t your average list of chain hotels. Everything featured here has that something special…whether it’s a glass igloo under the Northern Lights, a design-forward A-frame in the woods, or a beachfront villa with a private plunge pool.
