So you’re thinking about signing up for a Pack Up + Go Outdoors Trip…
Now your mind has wandered to a million different places, wondering about all the possibilities!
While the amenities and aesthetics vary from place to place, we have put together a list of some of our favorite accommodations we have used since launching Pack Up + Go Outdoors to help you get a better sense of where you might be staying.
For your Outdoors Trip, you may stay in a cabin, yurt, glamping accommodation, bed + breakfast, inn, lodge, or boutique hotel. Your accommodation will be selected based on your preferences, accommodation costs, and availability.

What we love: Getaway currently has 13 tiny house accommodations options throughout the US within 45 min-2 hours to major metropolitan areas. They offer unique cabin rental experiences that allow you to really disconnect and truly enjoy your Outdoors vacation since they don’t have WIFI or televisions! These secluded mini cabins are perfect for a romantic glamping getaway or a family weekend away.
Orchard House B&B
Type: B&B/Inn
Closest town: Lovingston, VA
What we love: The Orchard House B&B is close to the Blue Ridge Mountains, Charlottesville, and in the heart of wine country. There are only 9 rooms (a few have access to a shared kitchen!), but they serve a homemade, multi-course breakfast daily. The B&B sits on 14 acres so there is plenty of room to spread out with a good book, a glass of wine, or just soak up the mountain views.
Royal Gorge Cabins
Type: Cabin + Glamping
Closest town: Cañon City, CO
What we love: Royal Gorge Cabins feel like they’re off the beaten path but still less than 2 hours from Colorado’s major metro areas (Denver + Colorado Springs)! These luxury cabins and safari tents (seasonal) are in close proximity to every type of outdoor adventure, including rafting, hiking, and zip-lining!

Silverlaken Estate
Type: Cabin + Glamping
Closest town: Silver Springs, NY
What we love: Silverlaken Estate is only minutes from Letchworth State Park, the “Grand Canyon of the East!”. This lakefront escape encourages you to explore during the day, and relax under the stars or by the campfire at night.
Stillwaters Farm
Type: Cabin + Glamping
Closest town: Henderson, TN
What we love: Stillwaters Farm offers a more unique experience on a working farm with airstream glampers and a cottage. Guests can jump in on the farm-life action, take a pasta or candle-making workshop with the hosts, or just relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery! There are great state parks nearby, as well as plenty of day trip options.
Under Canvas

What we love: We love Under Canvas's proximity to some of the best National Parks parks in the country! Many have on-site dining, and a BBQ area but they also provide complimentary s’mores for their campfire;) It’s the ultimate luxury camping experience to unplug and get back to nature!
Stonewind Retreat
Type: Glamping
Closest town: Chester, AR
What we love: Stonewind Retreat provides a relaxing and romantic getaway near the Ozark Mountains in their luxury yurt cabins. It’s one of our more remote accommodations but also within driving distance to some of our favorite small towns, Fayetteville + Bentonville, AR!
Spring Lighthouse B&B
Type: B&B/Inn
Closest town: Elk Rapids, MI
What we love: At the Spring Lighthouse B&B, each room features serene water views for a relaxing and peaceful getaway while still being close to the charming Lake Michigan town of Elk Rapids for modern conveniences.
