If you’re like me, disconnecting from the constant pressures and distractions of everyday life can be hard, even on vacation. Getaway House is a vacation rental that’s designed specifically to help you slow down, relax, and detox from technology and the always-on stress of our world.
Here’s how it works: Getaway House has a collection of Tiny Cabins at locations around the country. Each site is within a two-hour drive of a major city, but is located in a quiet, beautiful area surrounded by nature. They make it as easy to get in and disconnect as possible with contactless check-in and lots of included perks. These tiny cabins range from 140-200 sq ft (so they’re small), and they’re furnished with everything you need and nothing extra.
Each cabin has a bed, bathroom, small kitchen, and not much else. They come stocked with linens, towels, dishes, and some non-perishable cooking supplies like oil and spices. I also love that every cabin has a private outdoor space with a fire pit and picnic table. It’s pretty clear that the goal is to get you to spend time relaxing out of doors.
One of the most unique things about Getaway House is the emphasis on disconnecting from technology and making time for relaxation and creativity. There is no WiFi at any of the cabins, and most of them have pretty spotty cell reception (or none at all).
Getaway House has dozens of locations, but most of them are in the Midwest or East Coast. There are a few on the West Coast, but if you’re hoping to find somewhere in the Rocky Mountain area, you’re out of luck.
