countryside retreat

Pastoral vacation spot

A countryside retreat is a getaway to a rural area, away from cities and daily routines.

The term suggests relaxation and escape: We booked a countryside retreat for the long weekend.

It also names the destination itself—a property or accommodation in a pastoral setting: The old farmhouse has been converted into a countryside retreat.
