Hosting a holiday at the cabin

The serving platters, bowl set, and roaster stocked at Sleepy Bear Lodge for holiday dinners for ten — and the campfire books on the mantle for after.

Host the holiday here. We’ve stocked the cupboards for it.

For the dinner

Oven-safe, dishwasher-safe platters and a full set of bowls carry every side to the table. The roaster handles the turkey, roast, prime rib, or leg of lamb. All you bring is the appetite.

  • Serving dishes and bowl set — top cupboard, to the left of the microwave and stove.
  • Roaster — the cupboard above the refrigerator.

The dining table, kitchen, and great room are all on the main floor, so the whole group, ten at most, eats together.

For after

There’s a small stack of books on the living room mantle, beside the vase of flowers. Grab one on your way out to the fire.

  • Campfire books: Creepy Campfire Stories and Would You Rather — the kind of night that still gets retold on the drive home.
  • Adventure books: a fun way to learn more about surviving in the woods.

Take them out to the fire pit; that’s what they’re for. We just ask that they come back to the mantle before you head home. The books change with the seasons, so there may be something new on your next visit.

Firewood isn’t provided — pick some up on the way in. See shopping around Logan for where.
