One topic that we haven't written much about on our blog is one integral to Rock Gardens Inn, and to all inns, hotels, resorts, etc: the nature of vacation. People take vacations for all sorts of reasons, but most have a single, underlying purpose, rejuvenation. Rejuvenation of the mind, the body, the spirit, be it through relaxation, exploration, excitement, or rest, most people take vacations to restore something that can become worn or lost during the rest of the year. Vacation can allow us to strengthen our connections with our families, our partners, even ourselves, in a place free of the major and minor stresses of everyday life.
Rock Gardens strives to be a haven for rejuvenation. Our cottages allow you to get away, relax, unplug. Instead of gathering around a TV, gather around the fireplace, instead of being a slave to your cell, relax on a porch, or in the soft grass outside. While we do offer TV and internet for those who want it, it is something of a communal experience as well, as there is only one TV in the Inn, and internet only in the Main House. In addition to the experience of getting away, we also offer therapeutic activities such as yoga and massage, as well as fun and excitement via kayaking, swimming, even hoop dancing classes!
With the speed at which our lives move today, and the hectic nature of many jobs, vacation is more important than ever. Americans currently fall behind France, Russia, the UK, and Japan in vacation days taken. And given the current economic situation in America, stress and anxiety levels have surged in the last few years. Rock Gardens Inn offers both an escape, and a panacea. We offer a vacation a little removed in time from the present, and beautiful, serene location to experience it in. And we believe that every guest leaves rejuvenated, and reequipped to handle whatever stresses life brings.
