$295–$395 per couple Nantahala Mountain Reset
A slow, restorative day shaped around the quiet parts of Glen Choga: a guided morning walk toward the waterfall and slippery-rock cascades, a picnic prepared after the hike, evening firelight, and a simple stargazing close to the night.
- Guided morning coffee walk
- Picnic basket lunch
- Evening bonfire setup
- Stargazing experience
- Late checkout
Tim can guide the morning hike and share the history and background of the place before guests return for a prepared picnic lunch in the courtyard, on the dock, or in a tucked-away property nook as available.
$225–$325 Romance at the Lodge
An intimate lodge evening with a charcuterie board, wine or mocktails, soft turndown details, chocolate, and a private small-firepit setup for a quiet mountain night together.
- Charcuterie with wine and mocktail board
- Turndown service with chocolate
- Private small-firepit setup
- Breakfast-in-room option
Designed for couples who want a relaxed, thoughtful add-on without leaving the property.
$250–$450 Mountain Adventure Escape
A guest-ready adventure package for days spent between Nantahala Lake, forest trails, and nearby outdoor activities, with the practical details coordinated before the day begins.
- Kayak package or fishing introduction
- Trail map with curated hike
- Packed lunch
- Gear coordination
Ideal for guests who want help choosing the right pace: kayak time, fishing basics, a curated hike, or an easy packed lunch before heading out.
$275–$375 Digital Detox Retreat
A deliberately quiet stay designed around journaling, tea, maps, and no-screen rest. Since guest rooms do not include TVs, the retreat leans into what Glen Choga already does well: stillness, fresh air, and space to unwind.
- Journaling kit
- Tea ritual tray with guest-suggested herbal teas
- No-TV, unplugged room setup
- Guided quiet-time itinerary with printable map if needed
Herbal teas may be suggested by the guest ahead of time, with a printable quiet-time itinerary and map prepared if needed.
Quiet upgrades
Simple can be memorable.
A bonfire may be as simple as a prepared existing firepit, or more private with a dedicated four-person setup. Stargazing can remain a peaceful guided night sky moment, or become a more elevated experience with the right telescope and viewing plan.
