2025 Cabin In The Woods Retreats & Upscaled Theater Experiences

Many horror films feature an isolated cabin in the woods as a setting for frightening encounters with the dangerous creatures that lurk in secluded areas. 

With terrifying thoughts of cabin horror movies running amok in the subconscious, in the encroaching darkness far from a strong cell signal, unfamiliar sounds … small animals scurrying over leaves, branches swaying in the wind, sudden unnatural silence becomes a potential predator.    

If you follow the universal rules of how to survive a horror movie, you’ll be able to enjoy a 7-day 6-night Cabin In The Woods Horror Retreat without having your fate unknowingly being controlled by the technicians upstairs. 

Have you ever noticed how the most haunting stories always seem to take place deep in the woods on a foggy mountain by some lonely stretch of water? There's just something about the wild, untamed beauty of nature that makes our imaginations run wild.

Towering trees, glittering streams, the way the sun filters through the leaves breathtakingly beautiful … but it's also unpredictable.

And that unpredictability? It’s the perfect void for the old terrifying folklore tales given to us by our grandmothers to take up space and deliberately blur the lines between reality and imagination.

Those stories are warnings for sure. So, when you submerge yourself within the breath-taking nature of the Pacific Northwest DO NOT ignore the signs and remember when you walk into the wild it’s more than a hike. You're tapping into something ancient. 

This is why it’s imperative that during your 5-day 4-night all-inclusive Midsommar Retreat stay to remember that you are never alone in the woods, and those watching you have been with us forever. 

But if you respect Mother Nature and follow the instructions of the expedition guides your Midsommar retreat will be a trip of a life-time.

The concept of home has always been a cornerstone of the American Dream. It's supposed to be your sanctuary, the one place where you are unequivocally safe from the outside world. But what happens when that sanctuary isn't yours and you’re paying to borrow it from the weekend?

This new form of temporary living has become a cultural phenomenon, ubiquitous in modern life. This acceptance is exactly where the quiet dread begins to settle in, realizing that we’ve paid for the privilege to be vulnerable by stepping into a space, that by nature, is unknown territory. 

Luckily for you the cabin has been properly vetted and your 3 Day 2 Night weekend Rental Retreat will not be a reenactment of Dave Franco’s terrifying film.

We all know who she is and heard her stories, Countess Elizabeth Bathory. The Blood Countess had a taste for luxury, power and bathing in the blood of young maidens.

Her legacy of deadly beauty obsessions didn’t die with her. The idea that blood or other bizarre substances could preserve youth, haunted European beauty standards for centuries: leech facials, mercury creams, arsenic in face powder, belladonna in eye drops, lead-based makeup.

For the women of the Victorian era putting on makeup was a ritual. A dangerous, bloody, painful, ritual … all inspired by the same fear of aging that Bathory's legend fed. And yet, the obsession with eternal youth didn't go away.

Today, we might not be bathing in blood, but the beauty industry is still full of wild promises and risky trends. The legacy of Lady Bathory is the warning about how far people will go to chase beauty, and how myths can spark real-life madness.

Though the spa kit you’ll be receiving as part of the VIP Lady Bathory At Home Spa Kit is a beauty routine, rest assured that it’s a little less … medieval
