Today, Marriott announced its acquisition of the Postcard Cabins brand, formerly Getaway, a glamping company with 29 locations all within a three-hour drive of major U.S. cities.
“In joining Marriott, we’re excited to bring the Postcard Cabins experience to a global audience seeking exactly what we offer — a place to slow down, disconnect from the everyday, and invest in the relationships that matter most," Jon Staff, the founder and CEO of Postcard Cabins, shared in a statement sent to Travel + Leisure.
At each Postcard Cabins outpost, the glamping experience comes with a cozy bed, a tiny kitchen, and a hot shower and private bathroom. The company currently has more than 1,2000 cabins at its 29 resorts.
According to the Postcard Cabins team, their 29 locations have welcomed 2.4 million guest stays and played host to 600 wedding proposals and 100,000 dog stays. The cabins are all within a three-hour drive of major U.S. cities, in locations like Meadville, Mississippi, two-and-a-half hours from New Orleans on the Homochitto River; Big Bear, California, a mountain town two hour's driving from Los Angeles; and Virginia's Postcard Cabins Shenandoah near Washington, D.C.
“Marriott has long been committed to offering incredible travel experiences for every trip purpose," Leeny Oberg, the chief financial officer and executive vice president of development at Marriott International, said. "As guests are increasingly interested in nature-immersive travel, we are excited to build on the incredible breadth of our portfolio."
The Postcard Cabins will be part of Marriott's "outdoor-focused collection," per the statement. The cabins will launch on Marriott.com and the Marriott Bonvoy mobile app, in 2025, making it easy for members to book. However if you can't wait to disconnect from the world, you can still book at postcardcabins.com now.
