Memorial Day Weekend with a Sunday BBQ

This is your invitation to slow down, settle in, and enjoy three unhurried nights in a Fireside Suite—where mornings arrive gently and evenings linger a little longer.

Inside your Fireside Suite, comfort is intentional in every detail. A private fireplace flickers next to a jetted tub, while sitting areas offer space to unwind. Thoughtful touches such as freshly baked cookies and complimentary teas and coffee, fine linens, and forest views of the surrounding woods create a space that feels both pampering and deeply rooted in nature.

Your stay includes a special three-course Sunday BBQ dinner, a seasonal celebration in every sense. Picture the aroma of orange-glazed barbecue ribs drifting through the air, alongside a fresh greens salad with buttermilk chive dressing, classic potato salad, warm cornbread, watermelon wedge, and house-made strawberry shortcake that quietly steals the show. Live acoustic music hums in the background, turning dinner into something you’ll want to remember long after the weekend ends.

Each morning begins with a scratch-made breakfast delivered right to your suite—no rushing, no crowds, just coffee, quiet, and the forest slowly waking around you.

On Friday and Saturday, savor the flavors of the Wild Crafter’s Kitchen menu, where meals are thoughtfully composed from organic, in-season ingredients sourced from local foragers and sustainable farms throughout the PA Wilds.

Between meals, the forest invites you outward. Explore the annual Cook Forest’s Living History Weekend, where storytellers bring the past to life in vivid, theatrical performances. Ride the Rail 66 Country Trail, a smooth, scenic path through rolling countryside made for unhurried cycling. Or lace up your boots and wander miles of trails through ancient hemlock and white pine forests. For a slower rhythm still, canoe the Clarion River and take in the landscape.

It’s a weekend woven from simple, grounding pleasures—good food, fresh air, and time that finally feels like your own—in one of Pennsylvania’s most serene and extraordinary places.
