Have you ever rented a CABIN out in the woods far from Society ?!
Question: I just got back from renting a cabin out in nowhere for the weekend. I feel like a new person. The cabin was beautiful with a jacuzzi, kitchen, living room, bathroom.....I'm talking an elegant cabin. I rented the cabin for the whole weekend. WOW.

Yes.
In my last incarnation I had a little cabin out there by
Walden Pond and as much as I enjoyed it and wrote about it
a lot, I must say, I think I would have preferred the modern conveniences you had available in the cabin you rented.
A Jacuzzi (brand name) and a bathroom indoors, would have been really nice during the cold winters in Massachusetts .
I want to thank you however, for reminding me of that wonderful time . You are absolutely right about the feeling of being renewed !!!

I haven't. But after hearing about yours makes me wanna go rent one.
I did and loved it. The peace and quite. Being able to relax without the stress of day to day life. It is amazing how alittle peace and quite can refresh a person............:)
It was kinda scarry cause at night you could not hear anything it was dead silence and dark very dark outside. really it was very nice and peaceful to get away

No I haven't, but that is something I Definitely would Love to Do!
I love the peace and quiet of the country/woods. I know you must have enjoyed the getaway! :)
No but that sounds amazing. Except i think I would go for a more simple kind of cabin and spend most of my time outdoors so I could get more in touch with nature...No seriously ^-^ I live in a big city and I forgot how it feels to be away from crowds and see a starry night sky.
My grandparents own a cabin in the woods and its like an hour drive to anywhere near civilization, we (my brother and I) are sent up there every summer and have been sent there since we were babies... Its ment to keep us out of trouble but the lake teens are super hard core druggies so I dont understand it... but no I hate that place with a fiery passion.
Yes, it was great. There was something about being that in touch with nature and away from the hustle and bustle of the city that reenergizes you. I enjoyed taking walks and swimming in the lake whenever I wanted. Food tasted better, the air smelled better, and the sky was bluer and more beautiful than I could remember. It was a really memorable experience and I hope to do it again some time!
Sounds awesome. I have always wanted to spend the day on a deserted island in the Bahamas alone.
It was a log cabin in nowhere Wisconsin,and I was with a Boy scout troop in the dead of winter,wood burning stove for heat right on a frozen lake. IT WAS GREAT!
Yes lots of fun, except we have a bunch of flying ants that had to be killed, And the bears where trying to break in, and the deers where fighting outside, yes lots of fun, oh this took place in Wisconsin, USA.

I MISS CAMPING! I haven't been camping in about 13 years.
it is amazing. especially sinse it was my wife and my anniversary and we got 2 wks alone for it and my wife came back and said she feels rejuvinated and to be honest i have alot less stress too.
Nope.It sounds like fun
no
I have, but not a luxury one. I prefer to do things a little more naturally. I grew up going camping and my grandparents own a cabin on a lake that I spent a lot of time at as a kid. A few years ago, I went with some friends to stay at their cabin in the Blue Ridge mountains for a week, and that was a fun experience. It was quiet and peaceful, away from big cities, just amazing. We didn't have much to do except drink and fish for a whole week, it was a lot of fun.
no lol but i have lived way out in the woods and yes it is really relaxing and quiet and you do feel like a different person when you return to the bustling world
i went with my aunt and uncle, and brother-in-law and sister (she's 10 years older than i am) when they rented one so they could go out to dinner one night and i could stay with the four kids. about an hour after they left, a big black bear came up on the back deck. we were scared out of our minds. but he ate the garbage and left. we had a good story to tell... but i've never been back to that cabin!
Yes, I have. We rented a "log cabin" once by the Lake in Michigan. There was NO running water and it still had an "out house". We had to build a campfire to cook. We ate a lot of meals on the picnic table in front of the cabin. I loved it the entire time and would like to go back sometime.
Yes we have & it is incredably relaxing....
but I really sort of live like that everyday...but living here is different.....
when renting I didn't think of all the upkeep & maintenance just relaxed.....

cool huh....I'm not too much into roughing it....
:)
jeez that sounds like a luxury suite!! what a nice time you must of had. i lived in a cabin in the woods far from anything, it was a small one room place with no running water or electricity. it had a wood stove to heat and cook with. it was really what you would call roughing it but i loved it.
I agree there is nothing like being in nature away from the daily grind to recharge the old battery. I love the outdoors and try to spend as much time out there as possible. I used to go camping for about two weeks when I was younger each year
No, when I go out to get away, I get away from it all. Backpack, terrain map, compass and GPS. Sleep under the stars or in a one person tent. Filter your water from a stream, dig your toilet... The longest I've gone was a week in eastern Yosemite. I didn't see another human, didn't hear a telephone or a boom box or a car horn, that was heaven. When I get stressed, I close my eyes and think back to sipping coffee sitting in a lakeshore meadow as the sun came up over the mountains reflected in the glass of the lake.
I would feel out of place in the woods & quite fearful that the squirrels would be after my nuts.
No way! I have seen bigfoot and no way am I going where he lives.
