Thanksgiving Away from Home
Thanksgiving is around the corner, and with it the endless to-do list of party prep, invitations, recipe planning, and one too many grocery store trips. After you’ve smashed enough potatoes to feed a whole village and scrubbed the cranberry stains out of the carpet, you might be feeling most thankful that the holiday is over. But what if you could trade meal prep for paddle boarding? Stain scrubbing for sunbathing? Here at Cedar Lodge, this is what our Texas Thanksgiving looks like. And it’s exactly the dream we bring to our guests. When you’re searching for things to do over Thanksgiving Break, Cedar Lodge has got you covered in the realms of relaxation, quality family time, and memorable experiences. We do the hard work for you, so you can sit back, unwind and feel thankful for what really matters. The following benefits of spending the holidays away from home will have you ditching the grocery list and packing your suitcase instead.Enjoy holiday convenience
It’s not every day you find the words holiday and convenience used in the same sentence. But yes, it’s possible! The key to enjoying a relaxing holiday without the stress is to get out of your home. By spending your Texas Thanksgiving at Cedar Lodge, you get to enjoy the following holiday conveniences:1) Easy drive from Austin
At just over an hour’s drive from Austin, Cedar Lodge Texas is an easy trip. We know you’ll appreciate this with how hectic traveling around the holidays can be. Throughout Thanksgiving week, the costs of flights increase, the airport turns into a madhouse, and organizing the whole family to make a flight on time can be an arduous task. When your only commute is one hour in the car, you can organize the family to leave the house whenever is most convenient for you. You avoid the cost of rising flight tickets. And, best of all, you don’t have to wait in any lines at the airport and further delay your holiday. Your vacation begins from the moment you pull out of the driveway. As if those points weren’t enticing enough, the drive to Cedar Lodge from Austin is very scenic. Around the end of November, you’ll catch the last of the leaves changing into their beautiful autumnal colors. The festive Thanksgiving mood will be set as you pull up to Cedar Lodge Texas.2) No need to spend hours cooking or cleaning

3) Keep your home clean and tidy

Everyone knows that no matter how many tablecloths you put down, plastic cups you use, or guest rules you set, the carpet still gets stained, a glass dish breaks, or a troublemaker eats his melting cone of ice cream on the new couch. It’s nearly impossible to avoid these messes around the holidays. In the same way that you prepare for spills and accidents, having the right tools on hand can be a lifesaver. Consider the option to купить мультитул, a versatile tool that can help with quick fixes around the house, from tightening screws to opening bottles, making it an essential addition for any household during the festive season. Treating yourself to a Thanksgiving away from home means you find your house exactly how you left it. When you return from the vacation, you can immediately get back into the groove of day-to-day life instead of scrubbing the carpets for a whole week.
Gather the entire family at the peaceful lakeside

1) Enjoy quality time
It’s easy to get stuck in front of the TV on Thanksgiving. Not only are the football games exciting, but the post-turkey-coma has got you curled up in a ball on the couch. Maybe it feels like there’s just nothing better to do around the house. Regardless of the reasoning, you miss out on quality time that could be spent getting active with the family. You need a change of setting. By spending your Texas Thanksgiving Break on a peaceful lake, you open yourself up to countless activities that will get you off the couch and out laughing with your family. Whether it’s a father-son fishing date, a sibling canoe race around the lake, or a sharing of stories around the campfire, we provide numerous settings that foster deep connections with your loved ones.2) Kids can play outside instead of using technology

Start of new traditions
Most of us have many traditions we associate with Thanksgiving. Whether its driving the whole family to Grandma’s house for a big feast, watching the Dallas Cowboys beat their competition, or making that world-famous pecan pie, it can feel weird to make other plans. However, starting new traditions allows your family to strengthen their bond in different ways. Out with the old, in with the new. These fresh experiences will stand out in your memory and offer your family something to reminisce on and laugh about for years to come. Plus, if you love the sound of zero dishes, no cooking, and paddle boarding with your family every morning, you’ve got to let go of certain traditions and make room for new (even better) ones.When you can’t fathom Thanksgiving without your homemade turkey dinner…
