Candlelight coffeehouse1/10/2024 It was really so much fun!Īgain, you can reserve your overnight escape by clicking one of these links: Sophie’s Roost or Le Petit Chateau … or This Old House. Our weekend at Candlelight Forest was not complimentary…we paid for all of it, and would do it again in a hot second. Easy breakfast food like pop tarts or pre-cooked cinnamon rolls.Bottle of wine (we drank from the coffee mugs in the cabin there was a corkscrew).Swim suits for the kids (if they want to play in the creek).Lighter (we had one in our cabin but it was low on fuel).S’mores ingredients (to save money…but you can buy them there).You’ll want to get them well before dark, though. If you want to write your wishes, also, consider bringing the paper and pens down to the fire pit with you. This enabled us to take our white tissue wishes home with us. The staff here collect them from the lake the next day, though we were up and fishing early so we saw them along the lake bed and put them on a table for the crew. More info on these: You don’t keep the wooden pieces of the wishing lantern. We all wrote our wishes on the white tissue paper, lighted the tea candle, and set them to sail on the lake. You can purchase them at the farmstand for $3 each. We also played a few rounds of corn hole and horseshoes (set up right by the camp fire area)…and loved seeing the fireflies come in!Īfter our bellies were full and the sun had sat all the way, we took wishing boats down to the lake. While we roasted marshmallow and made s’mores, we watched the sun go down. Fire starter sticks and a lighter were located in our treehouse, which were necessary to get it going. The fire pit was already arranged, with a pile of wood to the side to keep it going. Yes, it was almost 90 degrees the day we visited – but we couldn’t have a day of old-school play without roasting marshmallows. ![]() Additionally, if you need help with luggage, just let them know on the reservation and someone will come to assist you.īefore the sun begins to set, head over to the community fire pit and get your s’mores roasting fire going. The in-laws are 76 and 81, and they made it (carrying their own luggage) without issue. The treehouses sit about 150 yards apart.Īlso worth noting, you will need to climb a short trail to the treehouse. So, do expect that you will have a neighbor (we did!) but you still feel secluded. These are the only two treehouses on the property, and they are next to each other. There are even burners on the gas grill, which we used to heat up water for French press coffee the next morning (I never leave home without my French press!) The back deck also includes a huge and luxurious gas grill, and a “cowboy kitchen.” You’ll find silver, plates, a large pot, a large sink, and a prep area.īecause I didn’t know what to expect, we didn’t bring the “fixins'” for dinner…but it would have been a great place to prepare steaks or hamburgers. On the back deck we found a dining table and several more chairs, so we were easily able to move a couple more indoors to accommodate seating for everyone.
