Fall 2020 Is for Staycations
The idea of a “staycation” (staying home for vacation) had a more fun feel before we became confined to our homes almost full time. This fall season, however, if you are itching to just go somewhere, and go safely, you might consider a staycation at a nearby destination or one that is just a short flight away.
But where to go safely? Where can you go and have the place to yourselves?
One option is to book the entire place. Then you are assured of social distancing within your own “bubble” and keeping your exposure to a minimum.
To get your creative travel juices going, here are some ideas where you can take over a destination by booking your personal staycation.
Bet the Ranch and Book the Whole Place, Too!
Stagecoach Trails Guest Ranch Yucca, AZ
Located in the Mohave Desert of northwest Arizona, the heart of cowboy country, the all-inclusive Stagecoach Trails Guest Ranch is one hour from the nearest town, two hours from Las Vegas, and a four-and-a-half drive from Los Angeles. There is a private airstrip only five minutes from the ranch that is 1,375 feet long for those guests flying in on their own plane.

The ranch staff has worked hard to create a special, friendly atmosphere where you can get a glimpse into the Old West while enjoying the beautiful Arizona desert.
Set up like a little Western town, the dude ranch will make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time living the life of a true cowboy.
The all-inclusive package includes three delicious meals a day, accommodations, two horseback rides a day (no riding on Sundays), unlimited access to the swimming pool, hot tub, hiking, and much more.
