The Old-Fashioned Holiday Hideaway is a lovingly curated, enchanting retreat designed to transport guests to a world of nostalgic holiday magic. Picture a cozy, snow-covered lodge filled with twinkling lights, lush evergreen, and charming vintage ornaments, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere reminiscent of a classic Christmas movie.
From the moment guests arrive, they'll be enveloped in a feeling of comfort and joy, with every detail thoughtfully arranged to capture the spirit of the season. The friendly, attentive staff will take care of everything—grocery shopping, meal preparation, clean-up—allowing guests to simply relax and savor every moment all weekend long. Guests can expect heartwarming activities like baking fragrant vintage cookie recipes, sipping on rich hot chocolate with an assortment of toppings, creating handmade ornaments, doing cozy puzzles in the log lodge sitting rooms, and sharing delicious, family-style meals around a beautifully set table.
The retreat promises to be a tranquil, heartwarming escape, filled with joyful moments, meaningful connections, and the delightful charm of an old-fashioned holiday celebration. A soup making class hosted by local legend, “Chef Mary”, she’ll be sure to meet your expectations of that welcoming mother-like figure from the Midwest (You Betcha!). The idyllic Hallmark-style holiday weekend you’ve dreamed of is right here at Durward’s Glen.
The weekend has plenty of time for relaxation, rest, and self-paced activities to help you disconnect from the hustle and bustle of real life and reconnect with yourself or a new friend. The entire weekend is for you to take at your own pace, with sprinkles of optional workshops and group discussions.
Our all-inclusive retreat provides a nurturing environment for mental health wellness, relaxation, and holiday indulgence. Join us for nourishing meals, refreshing mocktails, and ample time for personal reflection amidst the serene surroundings at Durward's Glen Retreat Center.
