9. This mid-century A-frame chalet in California, US
Ninth on the list is a wintry shot taken in Riverside County, California. It's taken from a cosy adults-only hideaway in the forests of Idyllwild.

In summertime, guests can make use of the supplied tubes and life jackets to go exploring on the river.
Dh1,451 a night, sleeps up to four guests.
