remote cabins IN NATURE Off-the-grid locations offer the chance to unplug and recharge Jon Staff founded Getaway House in 2015, long before the word pandemic was used in everyday conversation. " I fi rst started Getaway out of a personal need [to fi nd] a space where I could go and disconnect from the long list of day-to-day responsibilities and focus on myself, " he recalls. " Turns out, I was not alone in the desire to escape and unplug in nature. " As COVID anxieties remain at the forefront, Getaway's collection of tiny, spare, wifi -devoid cabins found in rural locations close to major U.S. cities has only drawn a wider guest base. In 2020, the company experienced a 150 percent increase in bookings year-over-year and nearly 100 percent occupancy across its outposts. Repeat guest rates and length of stay have also shot up.
