© AirbnbSwimming pools, gourmet kitchens, and game rooms are all pretty great, but nothing takes a vacation house to the next level like a jaw-dropping view. Waking up to vistas of mountain peaks, serene lake waters, or crashing open waves is an instant reminder that you're on holiday-and the only thing on your to-do list is to relax.
Whether you're taking time off to hike, ski, swim, fish, or just enjoy drinks around a fire, it's so much easier to enjoy yourself when the outside takes center stage. With that in mind, here are 14 Airbnbs to book the next time you want to kick back and take in some incredible views-before documenting it all for Instagram, of course.
