The North Forest Winter Cottage Experience gives you a private outdoor space where you can enjoy great food, drinks, and mesmerizing light-and-sound shows in the heart of the woods. The North Forest transforms with Klip Collective’s Time Loop, featuring six immersive installations throughout the trails. Your cottage reservation includes VIP access to the full experience, and you can explore the installations at any time during your reservation.

Each cottage is decked out with multi-color lighting, faux fur blankets, and a Bluetooth speaker. You’ll get top-shelf drinks with full bottle service, a two-hour reservation for your group, and an artisan spread with meats, cheeses, dips, fruits, crudités, crunchy pairings, and a box of sweet treats from Bizzy Bee Bakery. Packages are designed with dietary restrictions in mind. Reservations require a minimum of two guests and max out at eight.

Cottages are available starting October 15, with limited spots for each evening. Book early, especially for holiday dates.
