Book A Winter Getaway At One Of The Best Cabin Rentals In NJ
Beach Plum Farm Cottages
Staying on a farm might be just the vacation your family remembers forever. And Beach Plum’s luxe cottages and barns offer a respite from the world—chances are, you will never want to leave. Ask to stock your refrigerator with farm-fresh meats and produce upon arrival, and cook hearty farm-to-table meals with the kids. Spend your days sitting by the fire—each cottage has a roaring fireplace inside and a firepit outside, and you can even book a masseuse to come for an in-cabin spa day. When you’re ready to move, the whole family will love biking around the 62-acre working farm, where you can stop to feed the chickens, meander down the Woodland Marsh Trail, and pop into the Farm Market and Kitchen for a fresh sandwich and shopping.

Get in touch with nature at this campground in the Pine Barrens and on the Wading River.

And at the end of the day, relax in one of their cozy cabins—most have fireplaces perfect for snuggling up on a cold winter night.
