Winter in the Woods
A Winter in the Woods getaway to Gateway Lodge in Cook Forest is like stepping into a snow-covered dream: crisp, cold mornings, the crunch of snow beneath your boots, and the peaceful stillness of nature.
Snuggle up in a Fireside Suite with your own jetted hot tub, and enjoy breakfast delivered to your room each morning. On Saturday evening, indulge in a decadent three-course holiday dinner, complete with award-winning wine pairings and live entertainment.
Saturday evening’s dinner, included in your package, begins with a starter of glazed walnut and roasted pear salad, paired with cherries, cranberries, and tossed in a gingered maple vinaigrette. For the entrée, choose between a wood-grilled 12oz grass-fed Angus ribeye, complemented by garlicky roasted wild-caught shrimp, or a hearty vegetarian walnut burger lasagna, layered with spinach, red peppers, mushrooms, and three cheeses. For dessert, savor a warm bourbon bread pudding, served with house-made vanilla ice cream. Wine pairings will accompany each course, enhancing the flavors of every bite.
Outside, the evergreens sparkle with lights, while inside, Christmas trees adorn every corner. Cozy up by the crackling fire in our stone hearth and enjoy a Santa-worthy welcome with cookies and peppermint milk waiting for you in your room upon arrival.
