Even just two days away from your regular routine can help you forget about all the sources of stress you face every day.
Whether you’re heading somewhere local or you’re traveling across the world, you need to be prepared as much as you possibly can; so your getaway doesn’t turn into a nightmare. During this pandemic all I have been doing is “work work, work”; therefore,I decided to plan this cabin getaway in the middle of the week and it felt great. In this post is I will share all things you need to consider for your cabin trip From choosing the location, time ,budget and much more.
Here are the 7 things to consider before going on a cabin break.
First thing first is Your Budget.
Many of you may have not booked a mini vacation in years because you think it will cost an arm and a leg, even if it’s local. For any getaway, you will definitely need a bit of money. Assess your budget and create a list of the different places you can go for the low. Also, be mindful to include, gas, food,tip, and cash as part of your budget.
Location.
It is very important to consider the area you would like to stay in. Location plays a major part since it will cost more to travel out of town or state. An out of state cabin for instance might require a rental car or plane ticket.
In addition, do you prefer to stay somewhere rural or have easy access to things ? Is it safe, can you go alone or rather with family? The choice is all yours, but definitely research everything before you go.
What People Are Saying?
I have been to a hotel before and I had to check out within minutes of arrival. It is very crucial to know if others have enjoyed their stay. You may not find everything to be perfect but make sure it’s not something that will make you regret every penny you’ve spent.
When Do You Want To Go?
Yeeaahhh, IT IS FINALLY HAPPENING!!!! Now that you have the money and location picked up, it’s now time to decide when is the right time to go. Me personally, I prefer a cabin trip during the Spring and early Summer (Not too hot , not too cold). I haven’t been during the Winter , so can’t really say much. However, the beauty of cabin vacations is that they’re suitable for all seasons, so it is completely up to you.
Will you go alone or with guest?
Why it is important? That will determine the room size, the amount of beds, and money of course. When you get to your locations you will see all the things you want to try and your guest or kids will do to.
Also, not everyone is good with sharing; therefore, it is important to plan accordingly.
And if you are going SOLO, perfect!!! This is a great time to reconnect with yourself and strengthen your inner peace because dealing with craziness everyday at work or with family members can drive nuts.
How long will you be staying ?
This is like any typical out of town vacation, whether it’s a solo trip, a couple weekend getaway or family vacay. When you know how long you’ll be staying, you know what to bring and how much money, clothes to bring or food if restaurants aren’t nearby. Don’t forget to pack your first aid kit, NSAIDs , flashlight, portable charger etc… in case of emergency.
Ladies, I know we bring more than we should, I’m guilty of this and I’m trying to do better lol.
Planning Activities
Yeah, some of you may like to find out once you get there but honestly, the activities are what drawn you to the location in the first place. For me, planning some activities in advance always help so I know what to pack and avoid unnecessary spending.
