This tiny house retreat helped me unplug and reconnect with what matters most Getaway's tiny cabins are located outside of major metropolitan areas and offer a minimalist escape from city life-with a strict no-WiFi policy Latifah Al-Hazza
If you’ve ever scrolled through Instagram and come across a photo of someone doing a complicated acroyoga pose in front of a huge glass window in a tiny wooden box in the woods, chances are it was taken at Getaway. The modern cabin rental company, founded in 2015 and featured in season eight of Shark Tank in 2017, now has more than a dozen locations around the country. Getaway’s founder, Jon Staff, grew up in rural Minnesota and most of his childhood was spent outdoors. After working at a tech startup, he found himself burned-out and longing for nature. He quit his job and hit the road in a 26-foot Airstream trailer to take time to reflect. During this trip, Staff had an epiphany, realizing that being in nature was essential to his well-being, productivity, and happiness. Today, Getaway invites guests to cherish their free time, find balance through disconnection, and reconnect with those who matter most. Guests drive about 2 hours from a metropolitan city (including New York, Nashville, and Los Angeles), place their phone in a dedicated inroom box, and spend a few days enjoying the solitude of nature.
