Enjoy Thanksgiving in a beautiful cabin in the mountains!

Whether you heat and eat or cook everything yourself, our cabins are fantastic for large family gatherings or sweet small ones – maybe a romantic Thanksgiving for two?

While all our cabins come with fully equipped kitchens, these vacation homes are just that – rentals to make you and your family comfortable.  If you know there are specialty items you need to make your meal complete, we encourage you to bring them from home for a hassle-free holiday.  American Patriot Getaways always supplies a starter pack of paper goods, trash bags, and dish soap, but if you have a large group or plan to do a lot of cooking, it’s never a bad idea to bring your own, too! Some items you might want to include:

Finally, our cabins do not come stocked with food, cooking spices, or oils.  Make sure you bring all your favorite spice blends, salt & pepper, coffee & filters, Keurig cups (if your cabin is equipped), cooking oils, and condiments to accompany your Thanksgiving meal.
