Dear Friends,

You’re invited to participate in our annual winter family retreat. Your price is based on the type of living you choose, and # of family members traveling with you. Your price includes 2 nights, 5 meals, and all Jookender activities, crafted especially for you and your kids. Kids under 3 y.o. come free, but MUST be listed in the form. Start from choosing your lodging, and we will guide you through the rest of the application. Be sure to indicate any food allergies that your participants may have – without this info, the kitchen won’t be able to accommodate all needs

• Your Check in time: Friday, March 16 at 4:00pm (or later)

• Your Check out time: Sunday, March 18, at 11 am (or earlier)

There could be a late fee associated with late check out – fully your responsibility.

The Complete Event Schedule will be available at the time of arrival. The room/building will be assigned to you in advance, so you know where to park your car. Although, there is no formal parking available, you may park near the house you’ll be living.

The activities will run in many buildings on the property, but our core meeting place is the Manor House that looks like a Tudor Style Medieval Castle, especially, from inside. Besides the scheduled activities, you’ll always have an access to the lake and the ability to fish from a deck or from land. If you like sledding, bring your sleds, there are plenty of hills at the property and sledding is allowed. Do not stand/walk on the lake and refrain your kids from doing so. Wi-Fi should be available, but the signal won’t be good enough – we’re surrounded by mountains. You need to bring pillows, sleeping bags, etc. with you, as nothing except the bed and the mattress will be provided. Most beds are Twin Beds and Bunk Twin Beds, but there are some Queen beds also – we will email you that info prior to your arrival, so you can prepare. The heat will be regulated by the main office. However, each room can be programmed separately. We will ask to pre-heat to 72 F, but then if you need more or less heat, you may contact the main office at any time (the phone will be provided).

Please, bring your personal belonging, towels, soap, shampoo, etc.

Please, bring snow pants and warm clothes, as well as sleepers or inside shoes, so you won’t make a total mess of the house right away.

We will make the menu available to you prior to the arrival, so you’ll have time to coop with it.


Refund Policy: 100% refund on or before February, 14, 2018. Transfer or Partial Refund - after February 14, 2018.

(In doubt? We recommend you purchasing an insurance for this travel. The cost of such travel insurance should be around $30-50 bucks per family. Insurance is not available through Jookender.
