Unplugged Adventures: 5 Simple Joys That Bring Families Closer

Simple joys, unplugged moments. A cozy lakeside setup that captures the heart of togetherness and exploration.

When was the last time your family had a moment that wasn’t interrupted by a screen, a notification, or a schedule? At Yarmouth Country Cabins, we believe some of the best memories are made when you slow down, step outside, and just be together.

Our little corner of South Yarmouth is more than a vacation spot. It’s a place where families come to reconnect. No fancy plans, no pressure. Just simple joys, sunshine, and time well spent. Here are five of our favorite unplugged adventures waiting for you here at the cabins:

1. Morning Walks with No Plans at All

Mornings here are something special. Wake up to birds chirping, grab a mug of coffee, and take a slow stroll around the property. The kids will find sticks and pinecones and maybe even spot a bunny or two. No agenda, no rushing. Just breathing in the fresh Cape Cod air and enjoying the start of a new day together.

2. Bike Rides to the Beach

One of our favorite family traditions is hopping on the bikes (yes, we’ve got those here for you) and cruising down to the beach. Whether you’re racing to see who gets there first or stopping along the way to take silly pictures, it’s the kind of fun that doesn’t need an app or a Wi-Fi connection.

3. Old-Fashioned Games on the Lawn

Put down the tablets and pick up a frisbee, a jump rope, or even just a ball. Our big open spaces are perfect for impromptu games of tag or cornhole tournaments. You’ll be surprised how much laughter comes from these little moments and how quickly kids forget about screen time when they’re just having fun.

4. S’mores & Stories Around the Fire

As the sun sets, gather around the fire pit, marshmallows in hand. Tell silly stories, share favorite memories, or just enjoy the crackling of the fire. There’s something about firelight that brings everyone closer and the gooey s’mores don’t hurt either.

5. Hammock Time (aka Parent Recharge Mode)

Let’s be honest. Sometimes parents need a quiet moment too. Our hammocks are perfect for swinging gently with a book, a nap, or a snuggle with your little one. These peaceful moments away from the hustle of life are what vacation is really all about.

Make Space for the Moments That Matter

At Yarmouth Country Cabins, we know the days are long but the years are short. That’s why we’re here. To give families a chance to slow down and simply be together. Whether you’re roasting marshmallows, riding bikes, or just sitting side by side, these are the memories your kids will remember.

So go ahead. Leave the laptops and tablets behind. We’ve got bikes, fire pits, and fresh air waiting for you. ❤️
