With the hectic holiday season looming, many of us are looking for a little respite from the chaos of all the family and social events in our future.
Now’s the time to schedule a break from it all. Because once you’ve booked a trip, it’s easy to decline that white elephant party you don’t really want to go to.
And a change of scenery’s always worth a little bit of a drive. Getaway Piney Woods in Larue, Texas, delivers a bounty of peace, quiet, relaxation and potential adventure that’s less than a two-hour drive from Dallas-Fort Worth, so it’s perfect on every count.
Plus, right now you can get a special autumn deal of 20% off. (Details at the end of story.)
Each tiny (and we do mean tiny) cabin on the property has an identical layout, with the exception of the sleeping arrangements. Opt for a single queen bed or two, the latter featuring a bunk-bed style approach where the upper bed must be reached from a ladder. We highly recommend a single-bed scenario if at all possible in order to truly appreciate the beauty of waking up (and going to bed) next to the giant picture window at the edge of the cabin.
And is it really relaxing if you have more than two people in a cabin?
Worth noting, the bed is surprisingly comfortable and the sheets are top-quality, which only added to an incredible night’s sleep away from the noises and worries of the city. All visitors are encouraged to stow away their cell phones and other electronic devices to truly disconnect, too. We took board games and realized that we really need more Yahtzee and Uno in our lives, even on weekends in Big D.
There’s a tiny kitchen, too, with a two-burner stove and a single pot and pan. There’s no microwave, so you’ll need to get creative in your meal planning, which is part of the fun, too. Or just stock up on grab-and-go meals that you can put in the small fridge. During the upcoming cooler months, an ice chest outside can double as extra refrigerator and freezer space.
The bathroom features a walk-in shower with nice bath products and the kitchen sink doubles as the bathroom sink. So try not to get toothpaste in your breakfast.
Outside, there’s a fire pit (and cheap firewood and starters for purchase), plus a picnic table when the weather is nice enough to eat or play games outside. We found ourselves staying up late into the night with a roaring fire while gazing up at the multitude of stars.
No more than four people are allowed to congregate at any tiny cabin and noise restrictions are in place to make it a tranquil experience for everyone, even though cabins are far enough apart that you probably won’t ever hear anything from your neighbors. This also makes for a perfect romantic escape.
The Getaway experience welcomes your well-behaved dogs, and they’ll even have treats waiting for them alongside your own s’mores kit.
Don’t overpack like we did because you really don’t need much.
Hell, with nobody in sight, you can be naked all day for all anyone would know. (But then again, shrinkage.)
Book your stay starting at only $105 per night and discover the joyous pleasures of a vacation where nothing is on the agenda.
