Disconnect from the Grind, Reconnect With Nature

When life feels like its on overdrive, there's nothing better than disconnecting from the world. It's hard to get away — and we totally get that — but it's always worth it. Sometimes all it takes is a deep breath in nature to put us to rights.

That's why we love the modern cabin rentals at Getaway. These tiny homes, nestled into the woods at locations within an easy drive of many major cities, have everything you need for a weekend away and nothing that you don't.

Here's what we're digging about these unique getaway spots.

Comfy Digs

Each Getaway cabin has a queen bed (or two, depending on the size), a bathroom with a toilet and hot shower, a kitchen, ingredients for simple meals and snacks that are billed only by what you use, and a fire pit and picnic table for outdoor fun.

The cabins are also dog-friendly, which we love, and come with a little library for picking out a read to enjoy while you relax. 

Forget About Email

When Getaway encourages disconnection, they mean it. They provide a lockbox in each cabin, which is the perfect place to stow away your phone and forget that it exists. Use the time you would have spent scrolling Instagram to play a game with your partner, write in your journal, take a hike, and roast s'mores over a campfire.

Getaway makes this kind of digital detox even easier by not providing WiFi at their destinations. So shut down your device, and turn on your five senses. What have you been missing?

Close to Home, Yet Far Away

Getaway has Outposts located within two hours of Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, Pittsburgh and Cleveland, Portland, Washington, DC, and with an upcoming new location in Austin, making them ideal spots to take a break from the bustle of city life. Sneak out of town for a weekend away, or extend your stay for longer. 

Getaway also offers Artist Fellowships for creatives, a discount to students, and discounts to active duty military, veterans, and first responders.

Are you ready to disconnect? Check out Getaway's destinations, book a stay, and then put up a message that says you're out of the office, and everyone will need to fend for themselves. You've got this...so get going.
