Jason’s Getaway at 5425 U.S. 70 East in Nebo will host an open house event this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The nonprofit bed-and-breakfast was originally intended for families with special needs children or people who live in group homes. Later, the board of Jason’s Getaway agreed to expand the mission so that it’s an affordable option for all families to relax and regroup, regardless of having special needs children.

The interior of Jason’s Bunkhouse is decorated with a railroad theme. That’s because Jason Herring, for whom Jason’s Getaway was named, loved trains.

Another big project is improving the use of the outdoor space by adding 10 picnic tables. This allows Jason’s Getaway to host spring and fall events for local schools and day programs in the area.
