For the Adventurer

📍 Carver's Creek | 2505 Long Valley Road

Carver’s Creek State Park is for the adventurer who finds solace in the heart of the wilderness. Pack a refreshing lunch with finger foods and fizzy sodas to unplug for a relaxing picnic at Long Valley Farm. 

 

Bring your bicycle to wind through miles of the seven park trails and along the historic James Stillman Rockefeller winter retreat. Inhale fresh air peppered with meadows of wildflowers, longleaf pine forests, small ponds, and an overlook of the millpond. 

 

Work up quite the appetite after biking a few trails? Kick the bicycles on their stand, and fire up the grill at the historic garage adjacent to the Rockefeller house for a smoked meal before retreating to your hotel room.

For the Home Body

Check out of everyday commotion and check into your hotel room for solitude and respite. Sometimes, an overnight stay in a clean, quiet, and spacious hotel room is the best hiatus we can provide for ourselves and the ultimate recharge to keep moving forward. 

Whether you’re indoors solo or with a handful of trusted friends who can enjoy quiet company, upgrade your room into a one-stop shop with an order of comfort food straight to your door. Kita Dee’s Soul Food Lounge provides a robust variety of soul food, hearty soups, and vegan meals. 

Binge your favorite show or catch up on what’s been happening in each other’s individual lives with your order of hamburger steaks or fried whiting with a side of rice and gravy, or cabbage or creamy chicken noodle soup on the way. 

Need some change of scenery? 

Choose wisely and use your hotel’s indoor poolside as a nightcap without ever having to leave.
