Ways To Stay

When you’re looking for the perfect plans for your family this summer, you might be feeling a little lost. There are so many things you might want to do, whether it’s looking for an adventure full of adrenaline or just swimming in a pool, getting kissed by the sun.

There is a paradise place for those who can’t decide, and it’s Pleasant Valley Park in Howard, Colorado. Once you come here and stay in our cabins, you’re free to choose many activities that can bring you unique experiences. But first, learn more about why this is the best option for your 2025 summer.

Why It’s An Unmatched Plan

Did you know that something as simple as spending time outside, can benefit your mental health?

Escaping for a cabin getaway can make a difference for your life when you’re on vacation. Becoming one with nature while enjoying it through incredible activities like hiking, mountain biking or soaking in mineral waters, can heal you from the inside out.

Not everything is just about having fun and creating memoriesーusing this as an opportunity to disconnect from technology and the noises from the city. Surrounding yourself with a serene landscape where your soundtrack is made of singing birds and the flow of water can help you reach a peace that you haven’t felt before.

If you don’t know what activity you can do to reconnect with your peace, you can browse our options!

Packing The Essentials For Your Cabin Weekend

The items that you must pack for your next cabin vacation may change depending on your priorities and plans for when you get thereーyou can’t pack the same things for a horseriding–in-the-mountains plan, as you would for a motorcycle tour plan. Generally, there’s three types of tourists when it comes to preparing to spend some days on a cabin:

The clean minimalist

For those who are not aspiring for plans that are too eccentric and with a level of danger, packing these essentials will be more than enough:

  • Toothbrush and toothpaste combo.
  • A maximum of 3 outfits and pajamas for the night.
  • Shoes that are appropriated for walking long distances.
  • Medications or anything that you need to take/apply daily.
  • A rain jacket or sweatshirt, just in case.
  • Bug spray for the warmer months.

The adrenaline booster

Now, for those who are looking forward to living an adventurous escape from reality, the essentials that they need to bring with them go beyond sunscreen and a change of clothes.

  • A headlamp for when the night comes. 
  • Canteen for water, soup or tea.
  • Bug spray.
  • A hammock to hang.
  • An all-purpose knife.
  • An emergency kit.

The softer type

Some tourists just want to have a cozy getaway to simply relax for a while, and their essentials can tell it’s a fact.

  • Your favorite sweater+sweatpants combo.
  • A good book.
  • Your skincare kit.
  • A camera to capture your new memories.

The multiple choices in activities to do on vacation aren’t the only thing that’s attractive about staying in a cabinーthey also offer many benefits and commodities for the tourists that choose them.
