Postcard Cabins Piney Woods, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy

My boyfriend and I celebrated our 5-year anniversary here and we had an amazing experience. It's a 1.5-2 hr drive from Dallas depending on what time you leave. We arrived late at night and the view of the stars was absolutely gorgeous! Our room was very clean and tidy when we arrived and it provided everything that we need to cook and start a fire outside. They even have a trail in several parts of the area so you don't have to go elsewhere to hike. The staff was very accommodating and came by a certain hour to see if we needed trash to be taken out or other toiletries. We didn't need anything at that point but we noticed that our lamp was not properly charging later that night. We messaged them if we could have a new usb to charge it and they came by very quickly to hand us one! We really had such a good time here just the two of us and I really hope to visit again!

Perfect to unplug and enjoy nature while still sleeping in a comfy bed! Small kitchen is perfect for simple meals. Made steak dinner and egg sandwiches for breakfast no problem. Has lots of small amenities like s’more package for 2 and pour over coffee. This our second time staying here and there isn’t a bad cabin location. PERFECT for kids and made to be dog friendly.

My Husband, Pup and I had a lovely time at Getaway Piney woods. Very cozy and comfy and everything looks just like the photos. There are some nice short trails you can hike and the campfire is perfect. |Honestly I keep daydreaming about that big window and will gladly book another trip in the future.

Nice place....it's kinda private but not sit on the back porch naked private. Watch your head getting in and out of bed tight loft area. Not totally sure about the bed size but it's definitely not a king. The ladder to the loft is almost straight up steps are over a foot apart. If your afraid of climbing ladders I would not recommend renting. Tho thier is a fold out couch on bottom floor. Owner leaves a few fresh eggs and stores for customers. The eggs are brown eggs not white definitely home grown eggs. The tub is nice for baths. Showering is kinda difficult very narrow with shower curtains closed and to be under shower head is right in the curve of the tub. The tub has a very high step to get into over 2 feet needs small step and bar to hang onto to make getting in and out more comfortable. Pot belly stove is nice if you know how to use one. Damper is open with lever on back left all the way to the back. To the front the damper is closed. Fire starting materials are in the bucket by front door outside. I almost used the giant jenga blocks outside as fire starter till my g/f told me they were for jenga lol. Take a cookie sheet for heating things. Has all dishes but a cookie sheet to cook homade pizza or cookies. Very clean an quiet. Close to town kinda..... all an all nice place to stay for those that can afford to do so.

My husband and I had a wonderful getaway here. Peaceful, clean, cozy and comfortable. Excellent communication from the staff on hand. Easy to arrive and settle in. Beautiful location. Our tiny home cabin was wonderful. We will be back! Thank you for a perfect experience.

What a wonderful peaceful relaxing stay! Much needed getaway from city stress & work commitments. Just a mere 2 hr drive from DFW metro is this hidden gem. Glamping at its finest. Well planned thoughtful and organized cabin with all the necessary stocks and supplies. Coffee, tea, hot cocoa, snacks, water and s’mores were a nice touch. Firewood and starter kit were very helpful. Management was very responsive and Brittany was very accommodating and warm. Never wanted to leave this heaven and will definitely return back.

We loved our stay in the little cabin Stephanie. It was perfectly secluded, peaceful, and incredibly romantic. The space was cool, cozy, and thoughtfully set up, making it the ideal place to relax and unplug. It felt private and special, like our own little getaway tucked away in nature. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay.

This cabin was such a gem. Tucked away and wonderfully private, it had the perfect cozy vibe while still feeling refreshing and comfortable. It was an ideal spot for a quiet, romantic escape. It was peaceful, charming, and exactly what we needed. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

If you're looking for a secluded/romantic get away that's like camping but with creature comforts, then look no more! This place is amazing!!! You've got your own private little cabin with running water, tiny kitchenette and shower & commode. Every cabin is private where you don't see your neighbors and they come stocked with firewood and large backed chairs to sit by the campfire! There's also an outdoor picnic table at each campsite. So cute!! The cabins also have huge windows for viewing nature if you want to lay in a comfy bed all day and just enjoy the view. The bed was super comfortable along with the pillows!! I didn't even have to bring mine from home! There's also an electric stovetop if you need to heat things up indoors. This place is amazing! Highly recommend! Also, pets are welcome! (Limit 2).

Came here for my 24th birthday. Was welcomed to a nice, clean, very inviting cabin for my friend, my dog, and for my birthday. We were nervous due to the previous reviews. However, we were lucky with hot water, good AC/heater, and felt comfortable even with the unnoticed storm. It was nice, but very expensive. Probably worth it somewhere else and not in Dallas. However, it is a nice getaway from technology.

We had a really wonderful time. If you have the mindset that this is glorified camping, then you'll enjoy yourself. The cabins are really clean with beautiful views. Bring with you everything that you would bring to a campsite: firewood, paper plates, coffee, charcoal, etc. It's located near the small town of Athens - that has some fun things to do. It's a great place for a getaway.

10/10 experience with GetAwayHouse. From the moment we got to our cabin to the end, everything was great! The cabins and area around are clean and very well taken care of. My husband and I had the opportunity to relax, reset and unwind during our stay here. The grounds allow for grilling too, which was great for a nice super. Whether coming with your partner or little ones, I def recommend!

Getaway promises a lot of great things, and my trip was marked by great highs but also disappointing lows. It is PRICEY on the weekends. Still, I enjoyed it enough that I would go back. Maybe. If I got a good deal. The good: Comfy bed, relative privacy, great view, cozy cabin, no bugs. Stove, fridge, hotpot and toilet worked. Checkin was easy. Here's the broken stuff: Climate control. I visited in the winter and the cabin was extremely hot the whole time even when I turned the A/C on. Apparently something in the cabin was generating heat. When I brought this concern to staff, they said it's a known issue they are working on. I can't imagine how hot it might get in the summer. The shower had no hot water when I got there. Someone came to fix it, and after that, the water was barely hot enough for me to shower. Their can opener broke and I waited, hungry, over an hour for a replacement. My lunch was in a can and I didn't have anything else to eat. Getaway advertises how well stocked their cabins are and you just need to bring food and yourself, so I was counting on that can opener. Staff said they were on their way to replace it. After an hour, I texted again telling them I was waiting on this for my lunch. Then, they showed up. The land line phone didn't work at all. Did someone skimp on the bill? I was planning to put my phone in the lockbox and my spouse could contact me on the land line, so that plan got scrapped. I couldn't get any radio stations to work either, so phone stayed out and powered on. Walking trails onsite aren't really worth it. The onsite 'pond' was a muddy puddle. Although Getaway tries to point you to real hiking sites, the nearest ones are a 45 minute drive. I was really getting tired of broken stuff by the end of my visit, which was supposed to be a restful vacation. Especially considering how much I paid for Getaway.

Great time! Went when it was cold so the pipes froze and no water in our last day but it did turn on maybe 4 hours later. Not too much to do around but it's a nice time to do self reflecting or getting to know your partner.

This used to be such a fun, romantic getaway or fun family weekend but the new prices from Marriott are totally ridiculous! $372 for a 50 square-foot room? No thanks Marriott. Boycott Marriott!!!

There are so many great things about this place. The view, the kitchenette, bathroom, bed, mini breakfast table, and place for campfire outside with picnic table. One area that really falls short however and which I consider crucial is cleanliness. I've gone a few times now, and each time I go, there's an issue with the bedsheets not being changed out. I lift up the covers to find hair, crumbs, or something unclean. Once I report it, they are kind to send someone right away to change out the sheets in front of me, but it shouldn't have to be this way every time. It has happened enough times to where I don't go anymore. My impression now is that they are not diligent about really cleaning the room after each visit. (Or whoever they hire to clean the rooms) I had been going to the location right outside Houston. I've also been to the one south of Dallas. If it weren't for the cleanliness, I would definitely go more often.

My wife and I wanted to try a tiny house but we didn't have an extra thirty grand and are afraid of commitment, so we decided to rent. I love this place. It is one of the only places I've stayed that actually matches it's marketing materials. It's quiet, in the woods, cell service can be sketchy - but if you're escaping the rat race for a weekend, those are all positives. It's only a couple of hours from Dallas, so it's an easy drive for us down US-175. You get your specific cabin assignment the day you check in, so if you're a compulsive planner, that can be worrisome but the system works well. We got the site map in an email the day before and our cabin assignment ("Carol") just before we left Dallas to drive down. They are pet friendly and this was the first hotel (and tiny home) our Chihuahua has visited. Rocky was impressed after he finished freaking out about the missing recliners and TV. The bed is on a platform and you can step up to get into bed, even if your brain is screaming, "Don't step on that! You'll hit your head!" (You won't if you're 5'8" or shorter - I made it.) Make sure you remember the step down on the midnight bathroom runs. Also, remember the step up into the bathroom. The bathroom is minimal - toilet and shower (use the kitchen sink for hand washing and teeth brushing.) It is a tiny house (hence the name) but if you have been in a cruise ship cabin, it's similar in size. If you've been in a corporate hotel in Europe, it's not bad at all. The kitchen has a two-burner stove, a dorm fridge and cooking utensils and plates and cups. (The one thing we missed was a microwave but we survived.) If you overpack for vacations, this may not be the place for you. There is minimal storage but enough for a weekend stay. We lived out of our suitcase which fit easily under the bed. We loved our stay. Drive down the county road until you're sure you're lost, and it's about a half-mile past there. Highly recommend.

We were a little concerned after reading some of the reviews on here, but have been pleasantly surprised! It exceeded our expectations. The cabin is the perfect amount of space, has what you need as far as utensils, towels, etc., and is just secluded enough to feel like you get away from it all. Definitely recommend!

We had no water our entire stay. We were advised that it was a county issue but we went to other businesses in the county and they had water. We had no access to flush the toilet, wash our hands or dishes or even shower. The staff provided us one gallon of water. An average toilet uses 1.8 gallons per flush so we were able to flush once in 48 hours. Completely unacceptable. On day two we received a text stating "Great news, water has been restored! Thanks so much for your patience, and we hope you enjoy the rest of your time in nature." It was not actually restored and had to spend another day rationing the one gallon of water provided.

My husband and I have been going to these cabins for years. We usually go in the spring and fall. We always looked forward going and the dogs love it. The last two times we were very disappointed. There were multiple things wrong from the cabin being dirty, the shower was gross and the air didn't work. The price was reasonable but know the price is ridiculous. I can rent a full cabin for what they are asking for weekend rate. Over the years this place has got down hill and the prices raised. Time to look for a new place to go. We won't be coming back.

We found Getaway Cabins like many others, on social media! Such a cute little spot. We went for a one day birthday trip, and had an excellent time! The cabins are laid out nicely, and come with everything you need. Pots, pans, plates, cups. Firewood, and other items come with a small fee. Easy check-in/check-out with 0 interaction. Grounds were clean, and we felt safe. If you are looking for a quick escape definitely try out the beautiful Getaway cabins!

You've probably seen Getaway cabins advertised on social media. They're the ideal getaway for pandemic times: you get a solo space and don't come into contact with anyone else, and you safely can sleep in a place that isn't your house, disconnect from the world, and recharge around some trees and greenery. You check in with a code that they send you in advance, so there's no interaction with others. Prices range from $100 - $200 per night, with weekends more expensive. This location is about and hour and a half from Dallas. Getaway cabins are really upscale, lovely trailers that have been remade as cabins. Their signature feature is the full window taking up an entire wall. They come with little bathrooms (with showers and plenty of hot water!), and a mini kitchen with a little stove and fridge. There's a fire pit outside (bring your own firewood, or buy it there for an upcharge). There's no wi-fi, and though my phone (Verizon) had good service, I put it on airplane mode after I arrived, and I'd recommend you do the same! Each cabin looks out over trees. Some of the cabins are pretty close to each other and you will see your neighbors; others are further away. There's a short, pleasant hiking trail. There's not really anything else in the area: if you go to a Getaway cabin, you're there to just relax and chill for a bit. You can buy food there, but it's hotel mini bar prices, and I recommend you bring your own groceries instead. My husband and I stayed for one night, and I could have enjoyed staying longer. If you're traveling with kids, you can get a cabin with bunked beds, though it would feel pretty tight with more than a couple people in the small space. Some things that *weren't* so great about our visit: - The lantern that came in the cabin didn't work - The reading light near the bed was burned out - The trail wasn't well marked, and the trail map wasn't very clear - They give you towels, but it would be helpful if they had washcloths too Most significantly: they gave us the wrong access code, and the welcome material in the cabin had the wrong name on it: obviously a mix-up. I called them - thank goodness my phone actually had service, or I wouldn't have known what to do! - and was on hold for about 5 minutes before I talked to a person. They explained how to access the external key not the trailer and what code to use, and then about a half hour later and employee came to re-set the code. It wasn't a huge deal, but it was inconvenient. But from a customer service perspective, I was kind of expecting that they might do something to make up for it - even a $5 promo towards the mini bar or a free bundle of firewood or something simple like that would have left me feeling better about it. I'd go back, though!

After many years of watching HGTV shows about tiny house living, my husband and I were curious about their reality. Luckily, he found Getaway's website, so we booked a weekend adventure! We had a great time! Could we live in one? No. Could we vacation in one? Absolutely!! We have booked a second stay, but we will try out their location near Houston this time. We will definitely go back to the location in LaRue, as it was wonderful and lived up to their marketing promises! I highly recommend a quick stay at a Getaway!

Great experience to unplug, relax and reflect. Could be better if the s'mores kits could be complimentary but understand business as well. I may try another location as well.

We loved staying here and will come again either to Piney Woods or another location. It's a great way to get the feel of camping without the hassle, especially with three small kids like us! It has everything you need, we only showed up with groceries. The bunk bed is really more of a loft so we didn't worry about our kids rolling off in their sleep (they're 2 and 4). My one complaint is the add ons are too expensive. Getaway makes a huge deal out of providing everything and even if you forget stuff it's ok because for a small fee you can buy it on site. It's not a small fee though. I was particularly annoyed about the coffee. Getaway advertises a pour over set up so I only brought grounds, but the pour over filters are included in the coffee you have to buy so we were stuck. I would've happily brought along our French press but they advertised coffee was covered. It was a small thing but wanted to mention it for other coffee lovers!

Booking got canceled last minute (4 hours before it starts) and mentioned it was maintenance issue. No phone call was made to me and I got the cancellation email while I was already half way there. I had no way to reach out to them via phone. I was informed to reply to the email thread but nobody responded for the whole day. Had to move my flight and change my plan. They did give out one free night but it wouldn't cover the actual and mental cost for my travel plan change. Also, literally just one free night that has an expiration date and no other add-ons. Definitely DO NOT recommend to come. Would post reviews on other social media too since they are doing such a bad job in customer service.

Amazing experience, very clean and well maintained. Had everything you need such as cookware and toiletries. Very friendly customer service with just being a text away. Easy check in and out

All i can say is - don't hesitate, book ASAP! What a beautiful & awesome experience! We found our cabin easily & had the whole area to ourself! So much privacy. It was filled with all the necessities needed! Did not leave until it was our time to check out. They made the experience more personable by leaving a bday card & a smores kit! We brought our own food & were set! Such a beautiful area & view. A day is enough time, but i wouldn't have complained booking a 2nd! We had an amazing time unplugging from the world and our busy lives. Definitely will be returning!

Pros: Cabins are aesthetic. As promised almost everything is provided. Cons: Hit or miss, you end up close to other cabins. Not very isolated as claimed. Like 50ft away I can hear them and see them clear line of site. Air-condition system doesn't actually let you adjust it. Like the elevator close button. Maybe it was just ours, but sleeping was miserable and hot. Cabins are very close to the guest roads. You don't feel isolated. 10pm fires out.

I booked this getaway as a birthday gift for my husband. He truly loved it as we both got to disconnect from social medias/work/city life and reconnect with one another. The best thing was we didn't have to travel far to do so, the area feels very excluded from town yet close to stores/gas stations and things to do such as arboretums, walking trails, state parks, ziplines and many more!! I will definitely come back. The only downside was our neighbors playing music at 3am loud enough to hear 2-3 cabins away which is where we were from them. Music was prohibited in order to maintain a peaceful stay. The getaway team had stated 24/7 support which we called but didn't receive an answer until the next morning. Other than that everything was lovely.

This isolated destination is about 1 hour and 30 minutes away from downtown Dallas. They were offering an additional $20 off rates so that was the incentive to try it out. The cost was only $100 on a weekday night. Weekends are about $200 a night. We brought our dog and there is a $40 additional fee. If you do bring your pup the cabin has everything you need except for food. They provided treats, bowls and poop bags too! The kitchen is well stocked considering it's a tiny cabin. There are plates, bowls, cups, oil, salt, pepper, coffee, tea and even aluminum foil!!!! There is also firewood available for a small fee. They provide a s'mores kit as well. The bathroom shower was very nice! Great water pressure and very warm water! Although the water is potable I would recommend bringing your own drinking water. The beds were super comfy and the view is as pictured. We stayed in the double so the view was not as majestic as it would have been in a single. There is not much head room on the top bunk so be careful getting up. Overall I would recommend this quick getaway- especially for the price. It is truly a glamping experience. You get your share of nature with bugs galore but you can also go rest in a nice room with A/C and a clean bathroom!

Loved staying here so much. We stayed here for our 10 year anniversary and it was so relaxing to be out in the woods. The cabins come equipped with everything you need as far as cooking utensils, plates, wine opener, can opener, etc. The cabin has a cute Bluetooth radio and it made the experience so much fun. Although it is really cool that they supply firewood in a bin for an additional price, the bundles of firewood were about 6$ and the bundle was very tiny. I highly recommend bringing your own firewood if you like having long nice fires. There are gas stations fairly close that sell firewood. We brought our pup and when I say they really think of everything to equip you with, I mean it- they have a line that you can leash your pup up outside , and little s'more treats for dogs. Beware of ticks, and bring plenty of mosquito repellant. I can't wait to come back!!

Horrible customer service. Did not have any heat or running water. There were bed bugs in my bed and bugs all over the floor. Would not recommend to anyone to stay here unless you want to be miserable.

I highly discourage anyone from staying Getaway Piney Woods. We just had to cut our vacation short because we ended up with numerous bedbug bites. When a staff member came to check our cabin, he even stated that it had been infested with bedbugs before, but they treated it. When I showed him a bedbug carcass, trapped in between two wall boards, he commented "that shouldn't be there." Upon returning home, I received an email from the company, stating that we could rest assured that there were no bedbugs in the cabin and therefore none of them had made it home with us!!! They went on to offer us one free night stay. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! This company's negligence ruined our vacation, we are covered in itchy welts, and I have photographic proof that their cabins have bed bugs! They should be offering a full refund! i plan to tell everyone how poorly Getaway treats customers and how negligent they are in caring for the cabins.

My third time staying here and it's always a blast! Weird smell in my room, but fixed it with some air freshener. It was a quiet and peaceful experience. Note, make sure if you aren't going to use the items for purchase you document or photograph where you moved them. They were quick to resolve the issue. I'm

This was the cutest getaway! Exactly what my friend and I expected. This is truly a place to escape and unplug. Watch out for the wasps in the trees and bring bug spray!

Awesome place to connect with your significant other! The cabin was super cozy and so pretty. Loved the huge window in the cabin!!! They thought of everything: cookware, towels, logs (to buy) and many other things. We loved it! It was so peaceful and in tune with nature... It's such a magical place.

Great time here very relaxing and fun , very clean only thing I would say is bring a dog bed for your pups if you don't want them in the bed with you

Ever since reading about this place in Texas Monthly, my wife and I have wanted to come "getaway." It was perfect. All the camp sites are spread out for privacy. We loved the view from our window and spent the day relaxing, hiking and reading. We brought the dog too! We'll be back for sure.
