2024 Cabin Fever Retreat

January 19-20, 2024
Cabin Fever Package

Beat the winter blues with an escape to relax on our 3,000 acres. Stay the night in one of our cozy king or queen guest rooms, enjoy the peacefulness of gathering around a fire pit and warm up with a delicious meal at The Trustees' Table.

This package includes an in-room gift, a special evening program (details below), a signature winter cocktail and a hearty breakfast for two.

Come for just one night, or make it a weekend getaway. There will be no chance for the winter blues when you stay with us!

Package Closed

Rates are $179 plus tax per night for two people. Available to book either Friday or Saturday night, or make it a two-night stay. Dining reservations are required at The Trustees’ Table.

Special Evening Program: Footprints of the Shakers
4:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.

As winter lays the Preserve bare it unveils the metaphorical footprints of the Shakers, which have laid hidden, deep under the foliage, for most of the year. Join us for a journey of discovery along the Heritage Trail, where we will be looking at mill sites, quarries and stone walls. On our return to the amphitheater we’ll gather round a fire near the Centre Trailhead for discussion and reflection.

Guests should plan to gather at the Welcome Pavilion at 4:15 p.m. The group will caravan to the Centre Trailhead parking area, departing promptly at 4:30 p.m. The hike will conclude no later than 6:00 p.m., though guests will be welcome to linger at the fire.

Be inspired by Corey and Tanner's West Lot wedding, and Miller and Andrew's rehearsal dinner at Meadowview Barn.

You're invited to discover a storybook wedding destination at Kentucky's largest National Historic Landmark. Join us for an afternoon of bites and bubbles from our catering menu while you tour four unique wedding and reception venues across the Village.

We'll begin at the Meadowview Barn, a restored open-air tobacco barn located above Shawnee Run Creek. Our Event Services Team will be there to meet and greet you, and present our full-service venue options which include onsite catering, overnight rooms, rehearsal dinner options and customizable activities for your guests to enjoy.

Three additional venues are available for you to explore, including:

  • The West Lot Dwelling which features a large, sunny reception room, double parlor, covered porch and enclosed courtyard, as well as six en-suite guest rooms. Its lawn and adjoining wildflower meadow are ideal locations for outdoor weddings and receptions.
  • The 1820 Meeting House, where the Shakers worshipped and danced, is located in the heart of the Village's Turnpike and within walking distance of several reception venues.
  • Shaker Landing, located along the Kentucky River, is our newest venue and features our restored  riverboat as a special feature.

Exclusive booking date specials will be offered during the event, and raffle giveaways will be drawn at each venue stop, including a weekend overnight stay.
