For some of us, winter is a time to turn inward, a chance to snuggle up against the warm white confines of our dens and reading nooks, with a nice botanical arrangement our only aerobic exertion. For others, it’s a moment to pick up where summer left off and explore the world in their preferred garb (a down jacket, obviously) armed with editor-approved travel essentials and plenty of Chapstick. Whether nestled in the snowy woods of Vermont, the Rocky Mountains, or the serene Scandinavian countryside, a winter cabin escape offers tranquility and a chance to reconnect with nature.
