Getaway House

Hi!

At the beginning of the year, Alex and I got to spend a weekend in a Getaway House, an amazing "modern cabin rental" community that has locations near the DC, Boston, and Catskill, NY areas. We went to the one near DC, which is actually close to Shenandoah National Park in Virginia.

Everything about it was so easy, from booking the cabin and getting there (they tell you the exact address one week before you go) to getting texts with info like the code to our cabin and a notice that somebody would be coming by to fill up the water tank. After the trip, the founder even emailed us to ask how everything went!

Our cabin, named Alvin, was PERFECT. We wanted to move in and never leave! We really had everything we needed in that tiny house. It was so cozy (perfect because it was February and still chilly outside) and quiet!

 The layouts of the cabins vary (some even have bunkbeds!), and we loved the giant window that ours had at the foot of the bed. That window had a pull down screen and all of the other windows could be covered with canvas curtains that fit on the hooks above the windows. Our locally made Treason Toting Co. bag (red) was a perfect thing to bring on this trip!

There was a small bathroom with a toilet and shower (and shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in pumps attached to the shower wall).

The kitchen had a sink, a stove, a mini fridge, everything we needed to cook with and eat out of, plus some provisions that we could purchase. We brought our own snacks, meals, and coffee, but it was really nice that they had things that we could use if we needed them. They were all great brands of yummy-looking things!

We brought games and books and had so much fun relaxing inside when we weren't exploring outside.

Even though there were several other cabins near us, it was so quiet! As you drive through the cabin area, there are signs telling you which way each cabin is.

We stayed for two nights and on our full day there we drove to Shenandoah National Park to drive and walk around. It was SUPER foggy and it was so fun to drive through it and take pics! 

We stopped along the road at most of the pull-off areas to take a ton of pictures and explore.

When we first got to our cabin we saw that they left us a s'mores kit so we had to make that! Soooo yummy. We really didn't want to leave when it was time to check out and we will definitely be going back sometime soon!

Thanks for reading!
