Reservations for election week getaway sell out in seconds as ‘unplugged’ travel spot offers steal of a deal directly.
Urban Cowboy Lodge stands as a remote cabin nestled in the Big Indian Wilderness of Catskill Park in Claryville, New York, just a three-hour drive from the bustling heart of New York City.
This serene hideaway has captured the attention of those seeking solace ahead of the 2024 presidential election. In a notable collaboration with Sensible Weather, providers of weather protection services, Urban Cowboy Lodge introduced an attractive “Presidential rate” for a typical stay usually priced at $750 per night. Instead, the lodge offered an enticing rate of just $24 per night from November 1 to November 7.
In a country buzzing with political tension, the lodge provides a peaceful retreat amidst nature, allowing guests to disconnect during this pivotal time in American history.
These $24-per-night rentals provide not merely accommodation but an experience. Travelers are welcomed into luxurious suites complete with indulgent bathtubs, revitalizing rain showers, and soothing saunas, complemented by options for hiking and yoga.
Upon check-in, guests surrender their cell phones, receiving Polaroid cameras instead, facilitating a complete retreat from the noise of social media and election updates, as stated by the lodge’s website.
“After casting your ballot, whether by mail, absentee, or early voting, exchange the week of tension for the calmness offered by this mountain sanctuary,” the website promises.
According to a recent report by U.S. News & World Report, anxiety around the forthcoming election ranks among the top five bedtime worries for Americans. It’s a clear indication of the stress permeating daily life.
The importance of cultivating healthy routines for improved sleep, particularly during such anxiety-laden times, cannot be overstated.
Observing a growing trend in “silent travel,” where individuals increasingly seek disconnection from modern pressures, the lodge recognized an opportunity. The spike in stress levels related to the upcoming election prompted a thoughtful response. “We needed to create something that alleviated as much tension as possible,” a lodge representative reflected.
In a remarkable turn of events, the special package sold out within moments, underlining a widespread yearning for escape.
“The Election Escape” was crafted to address concerns regarding both electoral outcomes and weather conditions. The rapid sell-out highlights a collective desire to step back from the chaos enveloping society.
The success of this initiative encourages the lodge to explore further avenues to promote disconnection and enhance vacation experiences in unpredictable times. One revealing fact stands out: engaged in their own self-care, travelers are rediscovering the power of retreat, even if just for a few nights in the Catskills.
