Urban Cowboy Lodge is a mountainous escape at the Big Indian Wilderness in Catskill Park in Claryville, New York, located roughly three hours north of New York City.
In collaboration with Sensible Weather, a weather protection provider, Urban Cowboy Lodge announced a limited time “Presidential rate” for the typical $750/night stay the week of Nov. 1 through Nov 7.

For $24 per night, travelers will stay in a suite in the woods featuring luxury bathtubs, rain showers and saunas. Hiking and yoga are also offered.
Urban Cowboy Lodge will take the travelers’ phones upon check-in and replace them with a Polaroid camera in order for visitors to be completely removed from social media and any news surrounding the election results, per the company’s website.

“After you cast your ballot (whether by mail, absentee, or early voting), you can trade in the anxiety of election week for the serenity of a mountain escape,” the website says.

Dr. Chris Mosunic, chief clinical officer at Calm in San Francisco, told Fox News Digital it’s “no surprise” that the upcoming election is one of the top worries keeping Americans up at night.
“When it comes to getting a good night’s rest, especially in moments of heightened anxiety like the election, practicing healthy habits is crucial to winding down at night,” he said.

Blair Staunton, vice president of marketing at Sensible Weather, a weather protection provider for the travel and hospitality industries that partners with Urban Cowboy Lodge, told Fox News Digital the rise of silent travel and anxiety levels surrounding the election helped this offer come to life.

“When we started noticing the rise in ‘silent travel’ – people seeking complete disconnection – and combined that with studies showing increasing anxiety levels surrounding the upcoming election, we knew we needed to offer something to ease as much stress as possible,” she said.
She also said it’s notable the special sold out in seconds.

“’The Election Escape’ was designed to tackle both election and weather worries, but the fact that it sold out in seconds truly underscores how much people need a break from it all,” she said.
Staunton said the success of the special package has the company looking at other ways “to help people disconnect and enjoy their vacations without the unpredictable.”
