No Time for Winter Blues!

February 08, 2022

Feeling isolated? Sick of winter? Say goodbye to the winter blues and get out your calendar! Starved Rock Lodge has just added some new activities to their Calendar of Events. All of these are in addition to the warm glow of the fireplace in the Great Hall with comfy rooms and cabins just a few steps away. Read on to learn about our cures for cabin fever!

February is the perfect time of year for a “Galentine’s Day” getaway. It’s usually celebrated on Feb. 13, but this year, the rules are different. You are invited to bring your girlfriends to the Lodge any time for a getaway and enjoy the indoor pool, hot tub and sauna. Then, head to the Back Door Lounge for some comfort food and spend some quality time together with your favorite cocktail.

This winter, the Lodge has three special ways to enjoy lunch or dinner. Midwest Monday celebrates a different state each week with an ala carte option for the soup, sandwich, dessert and cocktail of the day. Taco Tuesday features a different type of taco each week and you can add on a specialty cocktail and dessert taco. Burger & Beer Friday is the perfect pairing to kick off the weekend.  The details and menus are on the Lodge’s website at: https://www.starvedrocklodge.com/lodge-weekly-specials/.

Our Chefs have prepared a special menu for sweethearts to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Reservations are highly recommended?? This 4-course menu will be offered on Feb. 11-14, 2022 in the Main Dining Room. See the gourmet options on the Lodge website.
