This Thanksgiving weekend, kick off your holiday season with festive fun for the whole family at Chetola Resort in Blowing Rock, NC. We’re excited to offer special activities for children—Storytime with Santa and Cookie Decorating—to make your visit truly magical!

Storytime with Santa & Cookie Decorating
Bring the little ones to enjoy a cozy Storytime with Santa, where they’ll hear festive tales and have the chance to meet Santa himself. Afterward, they can get creative with our cookie decorating station, making sweet holiday treats to take home. These activities are the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit! Event will last approximately 1 HR.

Carriage Rides & Festival of Lights
While you're here, don’t miss a scenic carriage ride around Chetola Lake, surrounded by beautiful light displays. Carriage rides are available only during Thanksgiving weekend, so be sure to reserve your spot early. We’ll have three carriages running each night to accommodate guests. Book your carriage ride experience here.

Dining Options
For a festive meal, enjoy dinner at Timberlake’s Restaurant (reservations recommended 1.5 hours before your Storytime), or relax at Headwaters Pub for a casual dining experience. Headwaters Pub is first come, first serve. Book your dining here.
