Fall & Winter Signature Experiences
Your Weekend. Your Favorite People. Your Creative Escape.
Spend a weekend at Lake Poinsett creating something beautiful with the people you love. Choose from three private experiences designed exclusively for guests staying at Lake Poinsett Pool & Waterfront Retreat.
Available October through December only.
Why We Created This
More than just a place to stay.
We love summer at the lake, but we also believe some of the best weekends happen after the boats are put away.
Instead of simply offering a place to stay, we partnered with talented local artists to create private experiences you can enjoy without ever leaving the house.
Whether you're celebrating a birthday, reconnecting with friends, or just looking for an excuse to slow down, we hope you'll leave with great memories and something you created together.

Join local floral designer Tanya Flagel of Flagel's Flowers for a relaxed, hands-on workshop where you'll learn the basics of floral design while creating your own seasonal centerpiece using fresh, high-quality flowers.
Whether you're celebrating a girls' weekend, family gathering, birthday, or simply looking for something unique to do during your stay, this experience is designed for all skill levels. No experience necessary.
Every arrangement is unique, and you'll take yours home to enjoy long after the weekend is over.
