Marriott International has acquired Postcard Cabins, formerly known as Getaway, marking a significant move into the expanding nature-based accommodations market. Since its founding in 2015, Postcard Cabins has offered 1,200 cabins across 29 U.S. locations, offering guests the chance to unplug and reconnect with nature.
Since its inception, Postcard Cabins has hosted over 2.4 million guests who have collectively spent more than 40 million hours immersed in nature. The brand’s offerings focus on simplicity and comfort, aiming to help guests slow down and embrace the outdoors. With its integration into Marriott’s system, scheduled for 2025, Postcard Cabins will gain access to the Marriott Bonvoy travel platform, which includes over 219 million members globally.
“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 every day, and invest in the relationships that matter most,” Jon Staff, founder and CEO of Postcard Cabins, said in a press release. “What started a decade ago with a small group of believers in the power of spending free time in nature, has grown into a national movement.”
Marriott International sees the acquisition as a step toward meeting increasing demand for nature-based travel experiences. Leeny Oberg, chief financial officer and executive vice president of development at Marriott International, highlighted the alignment with current travel trends, stating, “As guests are increasingly interested in nature-immersive travel, we are excited to welcome Postcard Cabins to Marriott Bonvoy, offering more awe-inspiring destinations.”
Postcard Cabins’ popularity extends beyond leisure stays, with over 600 wedding proposals and close to 100,000 dog stays recorded.
One of its locations is situated in Catskill, NY, featuring 51 luxury tiny cabins. According to its website, this destination offers easy access to natural attractions, including the hiking trails, scenic overlooks, and historic landmarks of North–South Lake, along with the 260-foot Kaaterskill Falls, the tallest cascading waterfall in New York State.
Each cabin is designed for comfort, featuring essentials such as a queen or bunk bed, hot shower, two-burner stove, private toilet, and WiFi, along with added conveniences like a fire pit, s’mores kit, leash line for pets, and cookware.
