What are the best places in the US to travel to in order to go hermit mode in a short-term rental and focus on creative/productive endeavors? I've found that many small towns, while affordable, are full of people who make it their business to know your business, which can become a problem if you're reclusive. Bonus points if there's a beach nearby, although frozen cabins are fine, too.

Define short-term
>and focus on creative/productive endeavors?
Define creative/productive endeavors.
Anyways there's this youtuber CGPGrey who needed to focus on production, research, project, etc. and what he ended up doing is literally locking himself in a hotel room for a week. He also said there was this one time people started asking him what he did or why he was there and his response was "spreadsheets". Essentially just tell people you do spreadsheet work which required a lot of excel equations from one column that references another column, etc. and they will just leave you alone

Any American suburb basically, hear me out.1. Decent enough quality of life with first world amenities.
2. Dreary and pedestrian hostile enough to make leaving your apartment/rental for anything other than a short walk in your isolated neighborhood undesirable.
3. While not necessarily cheap, much more affordable than cities/rural rentals with immense variety to find something that suits you.Suburban Americans live like this against their will whether they recognize it or not. It's the perfect place to drop out of society for a few months. It's completely normal to not even know your neighbor or never say a word to the guy who walks his dog past your house at exactly 8:15 am every morning.
