Postcard Cabins originated from Jon Staff’s desire for a more tranquil lifestyle. At 25, after feeling the strain of a fast-paced startup career, he set off on a journey in a 26-foot Airstream, traveling through the American West. This experience highlighted the need for a peaceful escape from daily life, leading Jon to partner with his college friend Pete Davis in 2015 to establish what was first known as Getaway. Their first cabin, Ovida, opened near Boston in southern New Hampshire and quickly became a sought-after retreat. By April 2016, thanks to favorable media attention and enthusiastic support from investors, Postcard Cabins expanded to New York and has continued to grow across the United States. Jon’s journey informs the company’s mission, advocating for disconnection to foster a healthier work-life balance and enhance connections with nature and loved ones.
Today, Postcard Cabins is a prominent name in outdoor accommodations, focused on making nature accessible to all. With 29 locations within a two-hour drive of major U.S. cities, the company provides a perfect haven for those looking to escape their hectic lives and immerse themselves in the tranquility of nature. Each Outpost is surrounded by vast private woodlands, creating a harmonious blend of solitude and community that fosters meaningful experiences.
The custom-built cabins, ranging from 140 to 200 square feet, are designed with natural elements like wood, metal, and glass, featuring Eastern White Pine throughout to ensure a smooth transition between indoors and outdoors. Each cabin is equipped with a large picture window, thoughtfully positioned to capture breathtaking views of sunrises or starry nights, allowing guests to fully appreciate their surroundings. Uniquely, each cabin is named after the grandparents of team members and guests, giving every space its own identity.
Inside, the cabins are fully furnished for a comfortable getaway. Guests will find a queen bed or bunk beds, linens, a two-burner stove, mini-fridge, sink, toilet, and a hot shower stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. With heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort, the cabins also feature outdoor amenities like a fire pit with a grilling grate and seating area for enjoying evenings outdoors. Additional provisions include cookware, silverware, dishware, and a mini-library, along with a cell phone lockbox to encourage disconnection from technology. For those traveling with pets, dogs are welcome for a $50 fee, and amenities like dog bowls, treats, waste bags, and an outdoor lead are provided. Each cabin also includes a landline for emergencies, ensuring safety despite limited cell phone reception.
To enhance the outdoor experience, Postcard Cabins offers Outdoor Suites that feature larger outdoor spaces equipped with hammocks, chef’s stations, and string lights for a cozy ambiance. These suites are available at select locations, including Talladega Valley, Eastern Catskills, Machimoodus, Shenandoah, and Starved Rock. Guests can also opt for early check-in or late check-out options, providing additional time to relax and enjoy the natural beauty surrounding them.
