The Legend of the Pumpkin Couple: A Love Story (and a Lesson About Burnout) 🎃

They say every fall, when the air turns crisp and the leaves catch fire in shades of amber and gold, a strange thing happens deep in the Poconos.

If you wander far enough — past the winding roads, through the whispering pines — you might stumble upon a cabin with a soft orange glow flickering through its windows.

And if you look closely (but not too closely)… you’ll see them.

A couple.

Pumpkin heads and all.

Dancing by the firelight like they have nowhere else to be.

The Pumpkin Couple’s Curse (aka Burnout)

Legend has it, they weren’t always pumpkins.

Once upon a deadline, they were just another pair of overworked humans — always rushing, always refreshing their inboxes, and always saying, “We’ll take a trip when things slow down.”

Spoiler alert: things never slowed down.

Until one spooky October night, they both burned out so hard that the universe decided to teach them a lesson — by turning them into pumpkins.

Now, every fall, they appear to remind the rest of us what happens when you forget to rest.

The Moral of the Story (and Your Escape Plan)

You don’t have to wait for burnout to haunt you.

You don’t have to grow a pumpkin head to remember what it feels like to relax.

You can just… book the cabin.

Trade deadlines for firelight.

Trade group chats for board games.

Trade your haunted inbox for a bubbling hot tub under a sky full of stars.

Because here at Sojourn Chalet, we specialize in breaking curses — the ones that keep you glued to your phone and disconnected from what (and who) you love most.

The Spell That Still Works

Every fall, couples visit our romantic Poconos cabin getaway, and something strange happens.

They start laughing again.

They slow down.

They remember how much they like each other.

It’s not magic, exactly — unless you count candlelight, soft blankets, and the sound of leaves crunching underfoot.

That’s the kind of spell you don’t want to break.

The End (Or the Beginning)

So if you’ve been feeling a little haunted by your schedule lately, take a cue from the Pumpkin Couple.

Before burnout turns you into one of them, escape to the mountains.

Your cozy cabin’s waiting — the firewood’s stacked, the hot tub’s bubbling, and the stars are on standby.
