Getaway - Brooklyn, NY

Getaway provides simple escapes to tiny cabins nestled in nature for stressed-out folks where they can recharge and disconnect.
Our experiences are more than a beautiful tiny cabin nestled in the woods—it’s about disconnecting and living in the moment. It’s about learning to live without your cell phone (pack it away in our phone lockboxes) and rediscovering the art of a good conversation. It’s about tuning out the endless noise of society today and finally being able to hear yourself think without the endless distractions and notifications.
Outposts are located within about a two-hour drive of major metro cities—far enough to disconnect but close enough for a spontaneous escape. Getaway currently operates four outposts outside New York, Boston, Atlanta, and Washington, DC.
