National parks have always been one of the most spectacular threads in the tapestry of American culture, and Airbnb has an incredible array of park-adjacent rentals to consider when mapping out your next all-American adventure. Vacation rentals from a mountain treehouse by Hot Springs National Park to a yurt on the outskirts of Virginia’s Shenandoah region can be your sun-drenched home base for all things hiking, biking, kayaking, and even caving. Just last year, in an unusual moment of bipartisan unity, the House voted to approve the Great American Outdoors Act — an historic conservation and public lands bill that protects and preserves this cherished natural heritage — making now a perfect time to bask in the untouched beauty of some of the most magical spots across the United States.
Ahead, we’ve rounded up 17 rentals with availability to book through the summer — so click on to kick-start your search before the clock strikes autumn.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
