There’s a certain kind of getaway where you pull up to a place, take one look around, and immediately feel your shoulders drop. Fish Brook Farm in Liberty, New York, is exactly that. It’s a 65-acre property tucked into the Catskills with woods, fields, a creek running through it — and alpacas. The tiny cottage on the hill is about as simple and charming as it gets.
The cabin is a single-room structure with no plumbing, no loft, and just enough electricity to power a lamp and charge your phone. It’s glamping in the best sense of the word — stripped down to the essentials with a focus on the experience rather than the amenities. And with a 4.91-star rating from nearly 180 reviews on Airbnb, it’s clear that guests love the simplicity.

What would you do if you suddenly lost the job you thought you’d have forever? For Stacey and her husband, it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to them.
The couple had been living in a 2,800-square-foot home with three bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a three-car garage. After the upheaval of 2020, Stacey — a C-suite healthcare executive — started questioning whether the high-pressure career and the big house were really what she wanted. They bought a 448-square-foot cottage near the beach as a weekend escape, planning to fix it up over time.
Then Stacey was laid off. Suddenly facing a new financial reality, the couple made a bold decision: sell the big house, sell most of their belongings from their 30-year marriage, and move into the tiny cottage full-time. What started as a crisis became a complete life transformation.

This small cottage in the Tasmanian bush has a rich 100-year-old history. A timber-and-stone creation, it was added onto in the 1970s and has been lovingly renovated in 2011 by the current owners. It’s a lovely blend of old and new that comfortably welcomes guests.
Fresh white paint covers most of the interior and contrasts with the warm wood tones from vintage furniture. Outside, the most remarkable feature is a gazebo area containing a deep soaking tub. This quiet getaway is a lovely spot to reconnect with friends and family.

In the same vacation complex as the Istanbul cottage we recently showed you, sits the “Tokyo” cottage that hearkens to the country’s ancient architecture, with a pagoda-style roofline. It’s designed to be a romantic retreat for two in Turkey.
The covered front porch is a special place to relax any time of day, and there’s a low-set double bed under a Yin-Yang symbol. The wet bath features striking plaid tiles. What do you think?
