We invited city pup, Leiafromboston, to Postcard Cabins Blake Brook for a Spring reset. Days are getting longer and the snow is melting, which means it’s the perfect time to escape to nature. Keep reading for Leia’s favorite things to do on her dog-friendly getaway from Boston.
After a long winter of cold sidewalks, noisy streets, and dodging puddles, there’s nothing better than escaping the city for a cozy cabin retreat in the woods. Fresh air, new smells, and all the room to stretch my paws? Yes, please! Here’s how I (your loyal city pup) plan to recharge for spring in the best way possible.
1. Sleeping In: Snuggling Without Alarms
Usually, mornings mean rushing out for a quick walk before work. But here? We get to sleep in! No alarms, no honking cars—just the soft sound of birds and the smell of fresh air drifting through the open window. I can curl up next to my human in the warm blankets, snooze a little longer, and start the day feeling totally refreshed. And if I wake up first? Don’t worry, I’ll nudge you awake with a cold nose when it’s time for breakfast.
2. Cooking a Cozy Meal: Sharing Delicious Cabin Treats
You know what smells even better than a walk in the woods? A cozy meal the humans are cooking up. I watch every move they make, just in case something delicious finds its way into my bowl. Maybe some homemade pancakes and a few dog-friendly goodies for me. Eating together in our cozy retreat makes everything taste better.
3. Exploring New Trails: Sniffing Every Single Tree
The best part of cabin life? Adventure! Instead of the same sidewalks and city parks, we get to explore real trails with crunchy leaves, fresh dirt, and so many exciting smells. Every step brings a new surprise—wildflowers, scampering squirrels, and maybe even a hidden stream where I can splash my paws. Whether it’s a short stroll or a big hike, my tail never stops wagging as we explore nature together. Don’t forget to reward yourself with a stop at the local brewery!
4. Unplugging for Quality Time: More Fetch, Less Screens
Back in the city, you’re always looking at that glowing rectangle in your hands. But here, it’s just you, your humans and the great outdoors. No emails, no meetings—just pure, uninterrupted time together. We play fetch, sit by the brook watching the wildlife, and maybe even try a new trick or two. This is my kind of vacation: no distractions, just adventure and snuggles with my favorite human.
5. Ending the Day Fireside: Cozy Cuddles and Warm Nights
After a full day of sniffing, exploring, and running free, there’s no better way to end the day than by the fire. I curl up at your feet (or maybe sneak onto your lap), feeling the warmth of the flames and the softness of the blankets. The smell of burning wood and the sound of crackling logs make everything feel peaceful. As my eyes start to close, I know one thing for sure—this is the perfect way to welcome spring.
