Escape to the Pacific Northwest at Hoh Rainforest Caravan Cabins

We’re counting the days until flying into space is as commonplace as a cross-country flight. For now, though, when we need to escape society, we’ll settle for a few weeks in a treehouse or a cabin in the Alaskan wilderness. Few regions of the U.S. guarantee a proper, off-grid digital detox like the wilds of the Pacific Northwest. Enter: The Hoh Rainforest Caravan Cabins.

The mini-compound of travel trailers is situated in Washington’s Hoh Rainforest on the coast of the Olympic Peninsula. The prime spot inside the state’s Olympic National Park is remote, off-grid, and offers panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. By day, visitors will want to commit to doing nothing, to finding connection through complete disconnection. Just steps from the caravan, the park’s pristine beaches are prime spots for beachcombing amid tidal pools, crab searching, and taking in the waterfront scenery. Otters, dolphins, and even whales can often be seen playing offshore. Farther afield, the 1,400-square-mile park is home to vast and varied ecosystems that include mountains, rainforests, and old-growth forests — all perfect for exploring on foot.

When it’s time to retreat inside the cabins, guests will find plenty of tiny-house-worthy conveniences. Each of the four units boasts a minimal, Scandinavian-inspired interior that’s bright, clean, and streamlined. Off-grid doesn’t have to mean sacrificing the comforts of home. Basic amenities like hot water, solar-powered electricity, and composting toilets are provided. All include a stocked kitchenette with a mini-fridge, cooktop, and coffee-making equipment as well. The property’s communal outdoor lounge is a great place for guests to gather around a starlit campfire after dark.

Nightly rates at the Hoh Rainforest Caravan Cabins start around $250 via Glamping Hub. It’s worth noting that the price includes a total of four units with enough room for you and 13 of your closest friends. Or, if you’re desperate to get away from literally everyone, rent the entire compound for yourself. We won’t judge.

London’s Twenty8 NoMad makes hotel dining feel cool again
This Hilton hotel restaurant might be London’s best-kept secret
Twenty8 Nomad

Hotel restaurants don’t exactly have the best rep. They’re often the place you end up, not the place you’re excited to go. Bland décor, overpriced Caesar salads, and a vibe that screams “conference break” more than “let’s make a night of it.” But every now and then, a hotel spot completely flips the script. Enter Twenty8 NoMad, the stylish restaurant tucked inside the equally chic NoMad London, a Hilton hotel nestled right across from the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden.

I was in London on vacation when I decided to check it out, and let’s just say, I wasn’t prepared for how cool this place actually is. Located in the heart of the 91-room boutique hotel, Twenty8 NoMad brings a fresh, upscale twist to classic New York cuisine, served up in a space that feels more like a trendy Manhattan loft than your average hotel dining room.

Study reveals the top celebrity-owned restaurants, and Ramsay didn’t make the cut
The best celeb-owned restaurant in North America isn’t who you’d expect
Adelina

When it comes to dining at celebrity-owned restaurants, star power doesn’t always equal stellar food. A new study by CasinoReviews.net ranked the best celebrity-owned restaurants across the U.S. and Canada, and the results may surprise you. Despite their big names, Gordon Ramsay, Sandra Bullock, and Travis Barker didn’t even crack the top 20.

The study scored restaurants based on Tripadvisor ratings, the percentage of positive reviews (4 stars or higher), average cost of a two-course meal and drink, and Instagram hashtag popularity. The goal? To spotlight which celebrity-backed spots actually deliver high-quality food and experiences, and which might be coasting on fame alone.

Discover the magic of Orcas Island: the ultimate PNW getaway
Visiting the San Juan Islands in May: How to make the most of your summer
Sarah Joseph at Orcas Island

One of the most exciting adventures that you can experience while visiting the PNW is a trip to the San Juan Islands. Famous for its lush greenery, picturesque views, and most importantly, orcas, this area holds a special place in my heart. This past May, my husband and I had the opportunity to stop by the Worldmark Deer Harbor hotel for a glorious two nights. Here's everything we did to make the most of our trip.
Getting to Orcas Island

My husband and I drove from the Seattle area up to Anacortes port, where we took a ferry up to Friday Harbor. Do yourself a favor and make sure that you get a reservation for the ferry, since there's no guarantee that you'll be able to sneak on in the stand-by line. This must be done two or three months in advance. Since we didn't have a reservation, we ended up having to wait in line an extra three hours before making it onto the ferry, so it ended up being a pretty late night for us. The ferry to Friday Harbor is a good eighty minutes or so since it made a few stops to other islands before it got to our final destination. Fortunately, the rest of the trip went without hiccups!
