Holiday Nights at Back Acres Lodge
What if your holiday party had the whole lodge?
Bring your team to Back Acres Lodge for an afternoon and evening set aside just for them. Catch up, celebrate the year, and sit down to a chef-prepared dinner in a lodge that’s entirely yours for the event.
When dinner ends, guests can head home or stay overnight and join us for breakfast in the morning.
Gatherings available November + December.
Arrive
Give everyone time to arrive, grab a drink, explore the lodge, and reconnect before dinner begins.
Gather
Use the evening however it fits your group—from casual conversation to a year-end toast or team recognition.
Dine
A chef-prepared dinner is the centerpiece of every Holiday Night, with the menu and format tailored to you.
Stay
Overnight suites are optional. Guests who stay can gather for breakfast the next morning before heading home.
More than a dinner reservation.
Your team has worked through a lot together. Give them the time and space to actually celebrate it.
Arrive in the afternoon and settle in. Catch up over a drink. Gather around the table for a chef-prepared dinner. Make a toast, recognize your team, and let the evening unfold from there.
There’s no neighboring party, crowded dining room, or pressure to give up the table. Just you and your people
You planned the party. You should get to enjoy it, too.
Back Acres brings the setting, dinner, and support together in one place. One point of contact helps coordinate the details so your host can spend less time managing the event and more time with the team.
Private Lodge Access
Your group has private use of the lodge for the event.
Chef-Prepared Dinner
Choose from buffet or plated dinner options prepared for your group.
On-Site Support
Our team helps manage the experience throughout the evening.
Room to Celebrate
Gather for conversation, a toast, team recognition, or simply time together.
Optional Private Suites
Guests who want to stay can make the lodge home for the night.
Breakfast for the Morning
Overnight guests can gather for a relaxed breakfast before departing.
A setting that feels like a gift.
Set on 160 private acres in Patriot, Indiana, Back Acres gives your team room to spread out and come together.
Gather around the dining table. Continue a conversation in the living room. Step outside before dinner. Stay a little longer than you normally would.
It’s a chance to close the year with the people who helped shape it.
Dinner tonight. Breakfast tomorrow.
Not everyone has to stay to enjoy the full experience.
Guests traveling farther—or those who simply aren’t ready for the evening to end—can stay overnight in a private suite. The next morning, gather again for breakfast and a relaxed send-off.
Those who prefer to head home after dinner can do exactly that.
