Sometimes, after a long, hot summer, the fresh crisp air of fall and the first flying flakes are wonderfully refreshing. The thought of a night by the fire sounds romantic and cozy. Your eyes fill with happy tears when remembering that special Christmas – the year you received the puppy you begged for or the diamond that meant your life would change forever. The holidays are wonderful, most of the time.
But there are those times when thoughts of the holiday season fill us with dread. The tears stinging your eyes are not happy tears. The to-do list grows longer each year, and you are breathless; but it’s not because of that first amazing snowfall. You’re breathless because there isn’t enough time, money, or energy. Who decided the Christmas season begins immediately after Halloween? When did the holiday season become a chore? What happened to Silent Nights? And not to be forgotten, that family gathering that went ‘off the rails’ last year.
If just thinking about the holidays makes you want to run away, there is a place where you can feel the wonder of the season. You can breathe deeply and relax, while enjoying comfort food, great shopping and inspirational entertainment all amidst lavish Christmas decorations.
Just make the short trip to the Dutch Valley campus in Sugarcreek, Ohio and give yourself a little time to gather your thoughts and prepare for the holiday season. Located just seven miles from I-77 on State Route 39, the Dutch Valley campus has everything you need for a peaceful, comfortable place to rest and rejuvenate so that you can get back to life and face another day.
Plan to spend a couple days on the campus. Parking is free and once you arrive for your escape, you won’t need your car until it’s time to go home.
The Carlisle Inn Sugarcreek offers professional spa services, available in the privacy of your own room. Each deluxe room includes a Jacuzzi tub, fireplace, microwave, refrigerator, comfortable seating and a spacious deck.
The open areas of the inn are spacious and inviting with fireplaces, natural light and lovely Christmas decorations for the season. With the all-season pool and hot tub surrounded by glass, you can relax unaffected by winter’s chill. If traveling to Florida isn’t an option, this is the next best thing.
