#97 Tiny Getaway Houses with Jon Staff

Published: July 5, 2017, 10 a.m.

b'There is nothing tiny about the vision of Jon Staff, our guest this week. And, \\u201cimpressive\\u201d does not even begin to describe what he and his team have created for their guests. If you\\u2019re lucky enough to live in Boston or New York, you have no doubt heard about this amazing new way to unplug and unwind in one of Getaway\\u2019s tiny houses. So many of us live such harried lives. So many of us get caught up in our day to day lives and don\\u2019t make downtime a priority. We know we should, but there are so many details to work out; which is oddly ironic, isn\\u2019t it? And while many people in the tiny house movement don\\u2019t need convincing of the value of simplicity, many do. Picture this. It\\u2019s been months since you did something just for you. So you decide to splurge and book a weekend in a tiny house in the mountains. You don\\u2019t even know where it is, really. But on Friday morning you receive an email with a song list. You listen and unwind as you find your way to your weekend oasis. Once you arrive, you find everything you need to do nothing; even the firewood and some groceries. There is no wifi, no TV, and a lockbox for your cell phone. We don\\u2019t know about you but the podcast crew can\\u2019t wait till Getaway \\u201cgets\\u201d to the West Coast and we too can live this tiny weekend-off-the-beaten-path dream. Thank you, Getaway House, for making downtime more accessible and making us think twice about spending another weekend tethered to our cell phones.\\n\\nhttps://getaway.house/'
