rusticator
One seeking countryside
A rusticator is someone who goes to the countryside for rest or relaxation, typically leaving urban life temporarily for rural retreat.
The term appears in discussions of 19th-century leisure travel, when city dwellers would rusticate at country estates or seaside villages: The summer rusticators filled every inn in town.
Now somewhat old-fashioned.
