LimnophobiaFor those with Limnophobia, a fear of lakes, Migis Lodge is far from a respite, being located on the 3,500ft shoreline of Sebago Lake in southern Maine. The lake is 316ft at its deepest, eight miles wide and 10 miles long.

In this unplugged destination, cell phones, indoor bathrooms and children under six are nearly impossible to find. (David Droke)CryophobiaTravellers with Cryophobia, a fear of extreme cold, have avoided Lapland’s IceHotel in Finland since it opened in 1989. The world’s first hotel made of ice has 40 rooms, a bar and a church, all constructed from 40,823 tonnes of the frozen stuff.
