Cabins near Miami

Cabins don’t normally come to mind when thinking of Miami, but the Magic City is just a short distance from some of the best nature Florida has to offer in locations that lend themselves to cabin rental getaways. In less than an hour’s drive of the city center, you can be in Everglades National Park or Big Cypress National Preserve to view alligators, birds, and manatees. Nearby, shady log cabins and surf shacks are set in diverse ecosystems, from lakeside vacation rentals and to cozy tiny homes on local Florida ranches. Cabin amenities run the gamut—look for high-end perks like a full kitchen, hot tub, and air conditioning, or opt for an offgrid, pet-friendly cabin where you bring your own linens. And don’t miss the Florida Keys—this 180-mile-long chain of islands in the Gulf of Mexico is as diverse as the rest of the state, offering a number of beach vacation rentals with direct access to the great outdoors.
