Friday Afternoon: Arrive and Unplug
Arrive at your rental by 3:00 PM. Once checked in, take a slow drive around the property to get the lay of the land. Stop by the Welcome Center if it’s your first time for maps and insider tips.
Friday Evening: Sunset Picnic at Lake Alpine
Instead of eating indoors, pack a picnic or grab takeout from nearby Wright City and head to Lake Alpine. Lay out a blanket, pop open a bottle of wine, and enjoy a peaceful dinner under the colors of the sunset.
Saturday Morning: Paddle and Explore
Start your morning with coffee by the lake, followed by a paddleboard or kayak trip across Lake Aspen. The quiet water and wooded surroundings are perfect for clearing your head.
Saturday Afternoon: Golf or Trail Adventure
Book a tee time at the 18-hole golf course for a few relaxing hours of play, or tackle the Valley Trail for a more rigorous hike with ridge-top views and birdwatching opportunities. Stop by Market Café for lunch and supplies.
Saturday Night: Concert or Campfire Fun
If your visit coincides with a seasonal concert or community event, grab tickets — otherwise, settle into your deck with a bottle of wine and your favorite people around the firepit. The stars are usually stunning this far from the city.
Sunday Morning: Spa-Like Slowdown
Sleep in, then treat yourself to a spa-style morning. Many rentals offer jetted tubs, and you can even book a mobile massage in advance. Wind down with a lakeside walk and brunch at the Clubhouse.
Sunday Afternoon: Winery Visit or Antiques Stop
Drive 20 minutes to nearby Defiance or Augusta for wineries, or poke around Wright City’s antique shops. Return to Innsbrook in time for a lazy sunset, a final meal, and one last evening walk.
Monday Morning: Farewell with a Fresh Mind
Before checkout at 11:00 AM, make coffee and take one last stroll or paddle. Head home relaxed, restored, and already dreaming of your next visit.
