How to simplify your holidays

• muttoncreek

Updated Oct. 2024 ~

Last Thanksgiving, two families with five kids and nine total people celebrated the holiday at Mutton Creek Getaway. Our full kitchen provides an empty full-sized fridge, basic cooking supplies, many extra condiments and such, plus ample empty cabinet storage and counter space. As the usual host of our family holiday gatherings, I can certainly see the appeal of hosting at an already-clean home where everyone can hang out together for a few days.

Thanksgiving is one month away. Do you have a plan?

5 steps for a simplified holiday

  1. Book a stay at Mutton Creek Getaway.
  2. Bring only the food and things you need for the days you’re there. Check with the host if you’re unsure if specific utensils and staples are provided.
  3. Arrive in a clean, decorated cabin with plenty of cooking and lounging space indoors and out.
  4. Enjoy your loved ones without the extra fuss!
  5. Take time to explore the area. See 15 things to do in fall near Stockton Lake.
