In 2024, Marriott announced an acquisition of Postcard Cabins, a network of luxury glamping cabins across the U.S. All 29 Postcard Cabins locations are now bookable exclusively through Marriott, allowing Bonvoy members to both earn and redeem points for these stays. Here’s what to know.
What Are Postcard Cabins?
Postcard Cabins began in 2015 as the brainchild of Jon Staff, with the goal of providing cozy “glamping” cabins in natural settings just a couple of miles from major cities. Over the past decade, the brand has grown to more than 1,200 cabins in 29 locations across the country.
Each cabin includes an en-suite bathroom, a kitchenette, and a workspace. However, you won’t find a TV or computer set-up; these cabins are designed to help you disconnect from the busy world.
You’ll also have a private outdoor area with a fire pit, heating and air conditioning inside the cabin, and fresh linens. Keep in mind that Wi-Fi isn’t guaranteed at many locations.
Postcard Cabins offer a very different experience from a typical hotel stay, giving travelers a genuine chance to connect with nature and step away from the day-to-day routine.
Marriott Recently Acquired Postcard Cabins
In December 2024, Marriott announced an acquisition of Postcard Cabins, with the plan to fully integrate the cabins into the Marriott portfolio by mid-2025. That date has come to pass, and all 29 Postcard Cabins locations are now exclusively bookable through Marriott.
This deal allows Marriott Bonvoy® members to use points to book their stay or pay with cash and earn Bonvoy points. At this time, there doesn’t appear to be any Marriott branding at the cabins, though that could change in the future.

You Can Earn and Redeem Marriott Points on Postcard Cabins Stays
Just like with any other Marriott brand, Bonvoy members can earn and redeem points on eligible Postcard Cabins stays. However, Marriott does not currently have a dedicated landing page listing all Postcard Cabins locations, and the cabins are not yet listed as one of Marriott’s official brands.
If you’d like to book a Postcard Cabins stay, you can visit their website directly to find your preferred or nearest location. As you select your dates and cabin, you’ll be redirected to a Marriott booking page for that specific property. You can also use the location links above to start your search.
You can select “Use Points/Awards” when booking, but note that not all cabins are available for points redemptions. Based on our searches, only the Cabin Standard option is bookable with points, while “Cabin with a View” options appear to be cash-only.
If you pay with cash, you’ll earn Marriott Bonvoy® points at the standard rate of 10 points per dollar, plus any elite status bonuses. You’ll also earn Elite Night Credits for each night of your stay. Boost your point earnings by charging the price to a Marriott-branded credit card:
- Earn 6X Bonvoy points per $1 spent participating Marriott Bonvoy hotels, 3X points per $1 on the first $6,000 spent in combined purchases each year on grocery stores, gas stations, and dining, and 2X points per $1 on all other purchases
- Earn 3 Marriott Bonvoy® points for every $1 on the first $6,000 spent in combined purchases each year on gas stations, grocery stores, and dining
- Earn 2X Bonvoy points for every $1 spent on all other purchases
(Terms Apply)
- 6X points on purchases at Marriott Properties
- 3X points at restaurants worldwide, including takeout and delivery
- 3X points on flights booked directly with airlines
- 2X points on all other eligible purchases
(Terms apply)
- 6x Marriott Bonvoy® points on each dollar of eligible purchases at hotels participating in the Marriott Bonvoy® program.
- 4x Marriott Bonvoy® points on each dollar of eligible purchases made at restaurants worldwide, at U.S. gas stations, on wireless telephone services purchased directly from U.S. service providers and on U.S. purchases for shipping
- 2x Marriott Bonvoy® points per dollar on all other eligible purchases
Another option is to book Postcard Cabins as a Marriott stay through a credit card travel portal, such as Chase Travel℠ or American Express Travel® portal. Which portal you choose will depend on how you value your points and which rewards you want to earn.
Our Take
If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway close to home, Postcard Cabins could be a great option. Personally, I’m a big fan of glamping and often choose a cozy cabin over a traditional hotel stay. And for loyalty enthusiasts, it’s exciting that you can now earn and redeem points on Postcard Cabins stays.
