You know those times when you feel like you just need to stop everything and reset? We all get them and they’re not fun. You’re so spent emotionally and physically and are often stretched for time and energy. A weekend getaway is often what you need to relax and recharge after a busy season. And there’s a good reason why.

With just a single weekend cabin getaway, you can unplug from it all and, in a short time, become rested, relaxed, and recharged. Here are a few ways a weekend cabin getaway can help relieve your bottled-up stress.

You Get Into Nature

One of the primary benefits of a cabin getaway is the location. For example, our retreat (Laurel Fork Rustic Retreat) is located off the beaten path and embedded in the beautiful Tennessee mountains. You may still have neighbors but they will most likely be the feathered or furry kind!

Cabins offer the kind of peace that many guests are looking for when trying to “get away from it all”. Studies have shown that getting out and into nature has many health benefits including lowering levels of stress. Each of our cabins is tucked away within the forest and offers prime opportunities to get out and enjoy the beauty of nature all year long. Many cabins also have direct access to some of the best hiking trails in the nearby Big South Fork!

You Let Your Muscles Relax

Many cabins include a hot tub on the property which allows guests, like you, to take a long soak any time of day! Some of our guests enjoy relaxing in the hot tub while admiring the bright stars at night or after a fun day out hiking. Immersing yourself in warm water has been shown to lower stress levels. Your cabin’s private hot tub is available during the entire length of your stay, so take a soak a few times over the weekend to relieve stress and relax your muscles.

You Unplug From The World

While most of our cabins do offer wi-fi and cable television, a great way to relieve stress is to make sure that you don’t bring work with you on your vacation. Make an effort to unplug from the stress of work and life by keeping your phone and computer in the car. You can even choose to turn your phone off to enjoy more of your cabin getaway. Choosing to disconnect from the world will help to relieve stress and make your time in the cabin that much more enjoyable.

Choosing a weekend cabin getaway could be all you need to relax and unwind. 😌
