Those looking to unwind may want to try booking with a new Dutch startup called Slow Cabins -- a vacation rental company which doesn't reveal the destination until the vacationer has booked the trip.
The experience emphasizes relaxation and doesn't want its users to spend too much time worrying about the ideal location. Each cabin is situated somewhere in the Belgian countryside and immerses consumers in a truly disconnected experience. Slow Cabins deliver locally sourced meals to the front door of guests, making for an idyllic and restful experience.
Slow Cabins are mobile and frequently rotate locations, making for new sights and experiences for those looking to book a second trip. The cabins can cater to individuals, couples or families.
