Winter in the Woods Getaway

A winter in the woods getaway to Gateway Lodge in Cook Forest is like stepping into a snow-laden wonderland: crisp cold mornings, the crunch of snow with each step, and a stillness in the air. Snuggle up in a Fireside Suite with a jetted tub, and enjoy breakfast delivered every morning. Indulge in a three-course winter-in-the-woods holiday dinner on Saturday with award-winning wine pairings and live entertainment. Outside, the evergreens are lit and inside Christmas trees are in every corner. Cozy up to a crackling fire in our stone hearth. And receive a Santa-worthy welcome with cookies and peppermint milk inside your room upon arrival. Book online or by phone at 814-744-8017. WINTER RIVERSIDE CARRIAGE RIDE ( optional add-on for package guests only ) Take a ride on a beautiful horse-drawn carriage in the heart of Cook Forest on Saturday of your Winter in the Woods weekend. As you go dashing through the snow along River Road, snuggle close to that someone special and take in the breathtaking scenery. Each ride accommodates two couples or four people. The ride is 30 minutes and goes along the Clarion River and includes complimentary hot cocoa at the Lodge afterward. Please arrive 15 minutes early at the front lobby. Reserved guests will be shuttled to and from the site. $75 per couple. Please reserve by calling (814) 744-8017.
