It’s a joyful celebration where memories are made and cherished.

And of course, you can enjoy live music from local artists every weekend in November and December, adding even more sparkle to your holiday getaway.

Easy Fireside Treats for Holiday Campers
At The Retreat, holiday meals aren’t confined to the dining room, they’re meant to be enjoyed under open skies. Try a few campground-friendly recipes to bring that holiday flavor to the great outdoors:

• Campfire Turkey Packets: Combine turkey breast, potatoes, and veggies in foil with a touch of butter and herbs. Cook over the campfire for a hearty, no-fuss meal.
• Dutch Oven Stuffing: A mix of bread, sausage, celery, and seasoning comes together perfectly in a Dutch oven. Comfort food at its campfire best.
• Grilled Pumpkin Pie: Pre-bake your crust, fill it with pumpkin pie mix, and finish it on the grill for a smoky holiday twist.
• Campfire Hot Cocoa Bar: Set out mugs, marshmallows, crushed peppermint, and chocolate shavings for a cozy DIY cocoa station.
• Skillet S’mores Dip: Melt chocolate and marshmallows in a cast iron skillet for a shareable dessert everyone will love.
• Foil-Packet Cinnamon Apples: Slice apples, sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon, wrap in foil, and warm over the fire for a delicious, festive treat.

Rather cook indoors? No problem! Our cabins with full kitchens make it easy to whip up your family favorites before stepping outside to enjoy a peaceful evening by the fire.
