Getaway, the hospitality company that offers lodging in tiny cabins located in nature, will open five new locations and 224 new cabins in the Southeast, Northeast and Midwest by mid-2022. The company is opening new Outposts near New Orleans; Minneapolis; Kansas City, MO; and Indianapolis and a second Boston Outpost, expanding its presence in the market where Getaway was born.
The new Outposts are:
- Getaway Homochitto (New Orleans): Located almost midway between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Getaway Homochitto is the company’s third Outpost in the Southeast and features 40 cabins. It is also near Homochitto National Forest.
- Getaway Machimoodus (Boston area): Offering 45 new cabins, it is Getaway’s second Outpost in the Boston region. It’s located in Connecticut outside of a historic community.
- Getaway Kettle River (Minneapolis): One of the three new Outposts in the Midwest, it will consist of 49 cabins. This site is bordered by Long Lake to the south and Kettle River to the east.
- Getaway Ozark Highlands (Kansas City): It will consist of 45 cabins. Each cabin is surrounded by large seasonal hardwood trees, and most cabins sit along the edge of the hilltop with views of treetops.
- Getaway Brown County (Indianapolis): Its 45 cabins are situated along the ridge top of a deciduous hillside. The Outpost features seasonal streams feeding Hurricane Creek and lowland walking trails.
“At Getaway, we believe that free time is a right that should be made a ritual,” said Jon Staff, founder/CEO, Getaway. “Our cabins offer space for people to honor their free time; disconnect from work and technology; and reconnect with their loved ones and themselves. Now more than ever, people are seeking short, frequent escapes to nature and focusing on their mental health and well-being. We look forward to bringing the Getaway experience to more people in new cities across the country.”
In 2020, Getaway saw a 150% increase in bookings year-over-year and nearly 100% occupancy on its existing portfolio. This year, even as air travel returned and people began to take international trips again, the company saw additional growth and expanded its footprint in the U.S. with Outposts near Chicago, Nashville and Seattle. Earlier this year, Getaway closed a $41.7 million Series C funding round led by Certares, with continued support from existing investors, which has helped support its rapid growth. Getaway will have a total of 20 Outposts nationwide by mid-2022, increasing its number of locations by more than 100% since 2019.
