Getaway House DC Review: Glamping in a Tiny House Cabin

Items to Note:

There are a few things to note about the tiny cabins. 

• No Mirrors: That’s right! You won’t be able to look at yourself. 🙂 It’s a part of the whole relaxation and not worrying about what you look like. However, if you wear contacts or want to apply some makeup, it might be something to note. After our rafting trip this past summer, I added this packable mirror to my travel gear. 
• No WiFi: Sorry, the computer work will have to wait. There aren’t any TV’s either. I promise you won’t miss either of those items. You’ll be having to much fun reading a good book, playing games (a few included with your stay) and playing with the kids. 
• No Ice: Not a deal breaker, but the freezer wasn’t really cold either, so the ice packs weren’t frozen when we had to pack up and leave. I’d recommend bringing some ice for drinks in a small cooler. 
• No Grilling Utensils: We cooked the majority of our meals by the campfire and had arrived prepared with items to cook with. However, we didn’t see any grilling utensils and carefully used the wooden spoons included in the cabin. Something to note depending on how to plan to cook. 
• No Microwave or Toaster: We made popcorn over the open fire, grilled our toast in a pan on the stove and used the kettle to warm up some milk for hot chocolate, but it’s worth noting. 
• Child Safety: The four person cabin has a ladder to the top bunk and there is enough separation between the window and the mattress for a small child to fall through to the platform below. We stuffed a pillow under the mattress pad and created a barrier. You could also have the kids sleep on the bottom bunk if that was a concern. There are also many steps and ledges, even my four year old took a spill off the edge of the dining bench while playing with his toys. He was fine, but something to note when traveling with small children that you’ll have to keep an extra eye on them.
