A GETAWAY IN THE WOODS + HOMEMADE GOLDEN MILK
Sweet moments of wellness, gratitude + time spent in the woods are so good for the soul. Thanks to the lovely Getaway House, I had the opportunity to experience just that. For a couple of days, I got to unplug, step away from the hustle and bustle of the world + spend some quality time with a sweet friend of mine in the beautiful Mount Adams area in Washington. With just a 2-hour drive from Portland, we packed our bags + headed up to the series of tiny cabins nestled in the woods on a cloudy, autumn day - the perfect mix for a cozy + adventurous getaway.
Read along to see the experience I had staying at the getaway house along with a homemade golden milk recipe that we made during our trip. I hope you enjoy seeing the photos from our tiny cabin adventure.

“I TOOK A WALK IN THE WOODS AND CAME OUT TALLER THAN THE TREES”
My dear friend + I had the most wonderful time here filled with s’mores + hot tea by the campfire, card games, slow mornings reading, filling our lungs with fresh mountain air and being fully present doing some of the things that we love the most. After a few days away from technology, surrounded by nature and immersed in the beautiful woods, we were left feeling so rejuvenated and inspired. time spent in the forest is time well spent. Staying here was such an important reminder to take the time to slow down, step away from the busy world for a bit and do whatever you need to fuel your soul.
My heart is so full from this trip + all of the unforgettable memories that were made here. I’m already looking forward to my next getaway in the mountains. Until next time getaway house.

HOMEMADE GOLDEN MILK
I love the idea of brining a little piece of home wherever you go to make traveling + trips a little more comforting. One of my favorite drinks to have around this time of year is a golden milk latte - I’ve found a simple way to make it at home and decided it would be the perfect warm drink to enjoy in the mountains at the getaway house.
Golden milk is made with a variety of antioxidant ingredients between cinnamon, ginger, turmeric + peppercorns that will leave you glowing from the inside out. These ingredients also help boost your immune system, are anti-inflammatory, improves digestion + it’s a warm, delicious drink that you can enjoy anytime throughout the day. Having homemade golden milk in the mountains with my sweet friend was the perfect way to end our wonderful trip.
