Happy October!
Now... what are your plans for the holidays? We know, we know fall just started. But this busy season always flies by and before you know it, you need to figure out Thanksgiving, Christmas, and end of year plans.
Here`s some ideas to make planning holiday gatherings easier:
Ideas for Companies 💼
💚 Hold an end of year appreciation dinner for all of your employees with any caterer you like. Add in awards to recognize outstanding work and achievements.
💚 Host a multi-day retreat for your team or managers staying in cabins. Bond over hikes, yard games, roasting s`mores, and team building activities.
💚 Invite your team out to a holiday luncheon and gift exchange. Plan a fun gift exchange game like White Elephant or Secret Santa.
Ideas for Families 👪
❤️ For large families near Brevard, use our Mayes Event Center as an open space for everyone to gather for a meal, reunion, and/or activities.
❤️ For large families all spread out, come together in a large cabin at Deerwoode for Christmas or New Years.
❤️ For families looking for something fun to do, stay in a cabin during Festival of Lights weekend to enjoy the sparkling lights, family friendly activities, and yummy snacks every evening.
So, whether you are wanting a small holiday getaway, or need to plan a gathering for 100+ people, we have the space for you! Contact our events team with any questions you may have on planning your event. Book your favorite cabins before this holiday season and start looking forward to a wonderful stay in the mountains.

A gorgeous and one-of-a-kind wedding from last month!
The couple decided to have a sunset ceremony in front of the pond. We love seeing how couples take the blank backdrop of our event center and add their own decor to make their wedding uniquely theirs.
Congratulations to the happy couple!

Want to see fall foliage? 🍂🍁 We recommend making plans now!
In just a couple weeks the mountains will be vibrant shades of yellow, orange, and red! Everyone waits until the last minute to book travel to make sure they`re traveling during peak color. Anytime mid-late October will have beautiful colors in the mountains and in town.
We still have weekday availability for some cabins! Book now so you don`t miss out on this magical moment!
