Looking ahead to your first luxury getaway of the year?
With spring around the corner, and the outdoor weather brightening up, everyone is excited about some incredible outdoor experiences.
However, those who don’t already live in the country are faced with the challenge of traveling and finding the right accommodations in a post-COVID world. With the importance of staying safe and cautious still fresh in everyone’s minds, many are contemplating what the best way is to approach a trip to the outdoors, or the best way to plan a getaway in general.
Luckily, some proven ways can make your first post covid trip safe and enjoyable. The Preserve Sporting Club has many options available for those looking for an outdoor experience with a variety of accommodations and overnight packages. The team at this New England destination and the luxury resort is also taking extra COVID precautions, as outlined in the OH Well program.
Planning Your Getaway
Naturally with COVID at the forefront of everyone’s minds, staying safe and taking proper precautions is going to be a top priority for travel planning. The best move is to spend some time planning out where the trip will be, how isolated it can be from busy areas, and the best way to travel there to minimize risk.
When it comes to the type of trip, and the activities you plan, outdoor activities are the perfect way to create an escape while maintaining a healthy level of social distancing. The inherent luxury of a beautiful cabin paired with a gorgeous New England landscape is an amazing way to create a getaway for Spring.
While on the trip, it’s easy to plan a variety of hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, and sport shooting activities to provide much needed fresh air and nature experiences. While some would be content with a “luxury” getaway ending just at the room, The Preserve feels that it should extend into the outdoors, and the experiences you have within.
Keeping Safe While Traveling
A big portion of planning your trip will be the traveling itself. Ensure you’re using travel methods that minimize social contact and the overall risk is usually the best choice.
It’s best to pick a destination that is relatively easy to drive to, as driving is the least amount of risk compared to flying. If you’re planning to carpool, it’s best to make sure those you’re traveling with either already live with you, or have at least been tested beforehand.
The Preserve, for example, is an easy 2 and half hour drive from New York and less than an hour from Boston.
The Importance of the Destination
Part of planning your luxury getaway is the importance of the destination itself. Not so much the geographical location, but knowing that the destination has your health at top of mind, and has been taking excellent precautions to ensure cleanliness throughout.
Knowing that your destination has been taking proper precautions such as sanitizing surfaces, performing deep cleans in between guests, and otherwise keeping up with COVID best practices is the smartest way to make sure your luxury trip goes off without a hitch.
Here are just a few Preserve properties, their respective amenities, and how The Preserve has taken extra steps for safety and health.

The Cabins On White Tail Ridge
The cabins and personal accommodations at WhiteTail Ridge go above and beyond when it comes to providing a sense of home. Not only do you have a spacious cabin all to yourself in the beautiful outdoors, but it’s paired with luxurious resort amenities and services.
