Dreaming of your next escape? Each season brings a new way to experience the stunning beauty of our surroundings, whether you’re planning a fall getaway to see the leaves change, a cozy winter retreat, a spring escape, or a summer adventure. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your trip, no matter the time of year!
Packing Essentials
Cooler temperatures make cozy layers essential! Be sure to bring along scarves, warm jackets, and comfy sweaters to keep you comfortable during crisp days and brisk evenings. Weatherproof boots and warm socks will be perfect for exploring our scenic trails and staying warm by the firepit.
Seasonal Activities
Fall and winter offer a special magic here at The Retreat. In the fall, the colorful foliage makes our hiking trails even more breathtaking, while winter brings a tranquil beauty and peaceful stargazing nights. Cozy up in your tiny cabin, roast marshmallows by the fire, or explore the surrounding landscape for the perfect seasonal escape.
Road Trip Tips
If you're driving to The Retreat, prepare for a scenic journey! Bring along a thermos of your favorite hot drink, a blanket for extra warmth, and some audiobooks or podcasts for the ride. Packing an emergency kit—especially if winter weather is in the forecast—will ensure a smooth trip.
Packing Essentials
Warmer weather calls for sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. A reusable water bottle is also a must to stay hydrated as you explore our trails. Light, breathable clothing and comfortable shoes will keep you ready for all the seasonal activities awaiting you here.
Seasonal Activities
Spring and summer are beautiful seasons to experience the vibrant life at The Retreat. Enjoy blooming wildflowers, explore nearby trails, or relax by the water. Summer brings a chance to enjoy a refreshing swim or picnic at one of our scenic spots, and nearby local events add to the fun.
Road Trip Tips
Make the most of your drive by packing some snacks, creating a playlist with your favorite music, and bringing a camera to capture the views along the way. Arriving early in the day can help you beat the heat, and a sunshade for the car will keep things cool for the trip home.
