The major hubbub that comes with the Holidays, basically all November and December, is finally past us. And with that all out of the way, it’s time to recharge those batteries, which is why it’s the perfect time for a Mt Adams Getaway House stay.
We were hosted to stay one evening with Getaway House of Mt. Adams. However, all thoughts and photos are 100% our own. The post below contains affiliate links, which help support Angie’s Angle at no extra cost to you.
We had the pleasure of staying with the Getaway House at Mt. Adams in December for one quick overnighter. It was an enjoyable experience, and I think you all need to experience it. There is something so settling about ultimately disconnecting from the world and allowing yourself to recharge your own batteries. Now that all the stress and fun of the holidays are behind us, wouldn’t it be great to go and recharge yourself?
Why Now Is the Perfect Time for a Mt Adams Getaway House
Our quick overnighter with the getaway house was back in December, in the middle of the Holiday rush. I am so glad we were able to squeeze in a stay, even during this time of year. It was relaxing and recharging.
Nicely, the Mt. Adams Getaway House is only about two hours from the Portland area. Making it an easy escape without having to go somewhere long-distance.
Sadly, we didn’t arrive until dusk. Therefore, we didn’t get much daylight on this trip. Plus, it was super cold, and starting a fire didn’t sound appealing either. Because of that, we just gathered in the house, ours was named Laura, and settled in until we left the next morning.
Laura was very nicely stocked to make us comfortable and enjoy our evening. With a nice cozy bed, a table, pots and pans, a kettle, sink, bathroom, heat, cards with dice, a few books, a little radio, utensils, and other little odds and ends. It’s nice to get away and not have to bring as much as you would as standard camping. Or even go when it’s cold like it was for us.
Jason, Roxy, and I had a little photo shoot in our Christmas jammies. I kept the big window closed because I am weird and don’t like windows open once it gets dark, no matter where we are.
Then we played a little MoMo’s Shangai Rummy. We ate a dinner of chili dogs (Yum!) and ended the evening with Sequence Dice, all before crawling into the cozy bed to read some before we went to sleep.
It was a pleasant, relaxing evening, I’d say.
The Morning…
When on vacation, Roxy likes to get up super duper early. Why this is, we are not exactly sure. Maybe the excitement of being somewhere new and a full day of mystery adventure? She did sleep a little later than a typical vacation morning but still had us up earlier than I’d usually get up.
We lounged in bed and slowly started opening up the blind on the window little by little as it got more daylight out. Jason made a filling breakfast, and we lounged and read our books. While I also tried to get some fun photos.
I could have happily stayed cozied in that bed all day, watching the woods and reading my book. Gotta love big old picture windows!
FYI – don’t leave your dog inside while you go outside to try and get photos of her from outside in the big picture window. She will yell and scream at you that she needs to be outside, too.
The morning got away from us, and we ended up leaving the getaway house a little after checkout time. I wanted to get a full video of the getaway house before we left in full daylight. I felt bad about how rushed I felt and worried about how the videos would turn out, but I think it ended up being okay.
Reasons Now Is the Time for a Mt Adams Getaway House
We enjoyed our stay, though, and now, for the why of its time for an Mt Adams Getaway House experience of your own…
- De-stress – as I mentioned in the beginning. Holidays can stress us all out and make us overtaxed. Those are all behind us, and it’s time to let your body heal.
- Weather – yes, it’s cold and maybe even snowy, but that means it’s the perfect time to stay nice and cozy in the Getaway House and watch the world from inside the cozy, warm little house.
- The Blues – even if we love the Holidays and a new year. All that can leave us with a little of the winter blues. So what better way to cure that than heading to a little getaway at the Getaway House?
