Thanksgiving at Arcadia: Room for the Whole Family

Thanksgiving is about the people around the table, and the hard part is usually fitting everyone in one place. At Arcadia, a whole family can stay together under one roof, cook the big meal in a full kitchen, and spend the long weekend soaking up the red rock views near Snow Canyon. Here's why a villa makes Thanksgiving easier, plus a few ideas for the days around the feast.

Everyone under one roof

Instead of splitting the family across hotel rooms or squeezing cousins onto air mattresses, a villa gives you space to spread out. Our larger villas have multiple bedrooms, big living areas for the football game, and patios for a sunny afternoon outside. Grandparents get a quiet room, the kids get their own space, and nobody has to drive home after pie.

A kitchen made for the feast

With a full villa kitchen, you can roast the turkey, bake the pies, and keep the leftovers going all weekend. Many villas also have a patio BBQ, handy when the oven is full and someone wants to grill.

Villa spotlight: Arcadia #49

Arcadia #49 is built for big gatherings. This 3,900 square foot villa sleeps up to 26, with five bedrooms that each have their own private bathroom, two spacious great rooms with 75" TVs, and a deluxe kitchen. There's a private 8-person hot tub (pictured), a patio with a BBQ and lounge seating around a fire pit, a covered balcony, a foosball table, a chess and checkers table, and plenty of board games and puzzles for the evening after dinner. It even has a high chair and pack n' play for the littlest guests.

Make the most of the long weekend

The resort's two-tier pool, waterslide, and lazy river are open and heated through Thanksgiving weekend, so the kids can burn off some energy before the big meal. The two community hot tubs are heated year-round, and the clubhouse has a golf simulator (rent by the hour), a pool table, ping pong, air hockey, foosball, and more. Outside, there are two pickleball courts, a cornhole area, and a gazebo with a fire pit.

Get out and explore

Snow Canyon State Park is about 10 minutes away, perfect for a Friday morning hike to walk off dinner. Tuacahn Outdoor Amphitheater is also about 10 minutes from the resort, downtown St. George is about 15 minutes, and Zion National Park is about an hour's drive for a day of big canyon views.
