Workcation Ready: Escape to the Ozarks Without Using Vacation Days

Imagine answering emails in the morning, taking a break with a forest-view walk, and soaking in a private hot tub under the stars—all without using a single vacation day. That’s the magic of a workcation at The Woodland Retreat, nestled in the peaceful Ozarks just 15 minutes from Eureka Springs.

Why Workcations Are the New Way to Travel

In a world where remote work is more common than ever, the boundaries between work and travel have started to blur. Workcations—trips that combine work responsibilities with leisure experiences—offer a refreshing change of scenery without falling behind on your to-do list.

If you're feeling burnt out or uninspired by your home office, a workcation might be just what you need. And The Woodland Retreat is designed to make it not only possible but deeply enjoyable.

1. Strong Wi-Fi in a Serene Setting

We know that fast, reliable internet is non-negotiable for remote workers. Whether you’re on video calls, uploading large files, or managing multiple tabs, The Woodland Retreat is equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi that supports your productivity needs.

Set up your workstation at the kitchen island, the spacious dining table, or even outside on the deck surrounded by birdsong. It’s productivity—with a view.

2. Daily Breaks in Nature (That Actually Work Wonders)

Remote workers often struggle to separate work and rest. Here, nature does it for you. When the screen starts to blur, take a walk around the island’s edge, breathe in the fresh Ozark air, or stretch in the sunshine with a cup of coffee.

You’re not just taking a break—you’re resetting your mind.

3. After-Hours Luxury: Your Reward for a Day Well Done

When the laptop closes, your evening begins. Pour a glass of wine and unwind in the private hot tub, fire up the charcoal grill, or challenge your partner to a round of Pac-Man in the vintage arcade.

Other evening favorites include:

• A movie night on the 75" Smart TV with Netflix and Disney+

• Pool games in the Man Cave garage lounge

• Stargazing from the back deck

It’s a reward-rich environment that feels like a vacation—because it is, even if you're still working.

4. Ideal for Solo Travelers, Couples, or Remote Duos

Whether you’re planning a solo deep-work retreat or traveling with a fellow remote worker, the layout and amenities at The Woodland Retreat support both privacy and togetherness. Need a power focus session? Spread out. Ready for a collaborative brainstorm? Cozy up in the living room or outdoors in the fresh mountain air.

5. Convenient Location = Easy Arrival + Easy Groceries

You’re not totally off-grid. With Eureka Springs just 15 minutes away, you can easily stock up on snacks, grab takeout, or take a quick outing to a local coffee shop. The retreat offers a remote feel, without the inconvenience.

6. Tips for a Successful Workcation at The Woodland Retreat:

• Stick to a morning work block: Finish by lunch and have the afternoon free for exploration.

• Pack your gear: Don’t forget chargers, headphones, and a portable second screen if you use one.

• Schedule a midweek “you day”: Plan a midweek break with a hike or a soak in the hot tub.

• Let your team know: You’re working remote, not going offline—unless you want to (we won’t tell).
