agree  María Diehn: Me parece que su respuesta, sin la explicación, era la acertada: es una metáfora. Al no traducirla como metáfora, se transmite la idea con claridad, sí, pero no se mantiene el registro.

a sólo pasos del lugar/de donde estamos ubicados


Explanation:
En este caso, no se refiere literalmente al patio trasero, sino a la cercanía de los centros recreativos/puntos de interés maravillosos. No sé cómo viene el contexto más arriba, si se trata de un hotel o a qué lugar se refiere. Es por ello que le di una traducción más general.
