Somewhere right now, someone is circling a parking lot. Someone else has forty items in a cart and a timer counting down. Black Friday is a sport, and plenty of people play it well. But… we have a different offer. Ours comes with a lake.
A Black Friday Getaway, With One Honest Note
Let's be clear about one thing: we are not running a Black Friday sale. No promo code, no countdown clock, no doorbuster. We checked twice. What we do have is a quiet shoreline in Uniontown, Kansas, three lake cabins, and a very good chair to sit in while you do your holiday shopping from the comfort of the water. Order the deals. Skip the parking lot. Keep the peace.
How Much Do We Actually Need?
In town, there is a constant, gentle reminder that you need more. A little more of this, an upgrade to that, a thing you did not know you wanted until it appeared on a screen. It is easy to feel it all day without noticing. Then you arrive at the lake, and something shifts. The list gets shorter and suddenly you need the water, the trees, the crickets on the milder nights, and the coyotes calling at dusk, warm drink, and the people you came with.
No judgment, by the way. A good deal is a good deal. We just love how quickly the wanting goes quiet out here.
Beat the Crowds, Keep the Weekend
Thanksgiving weekend can feel like a race, with the shopping, the leftovers, the traffic, and the noise. At the lake, the weekend moves at its own pace. Start with a sunrise and the sound of wildlife filling the air. Walk down to the water and look for fog rolling over the surface. Spend the afternoon with a good book, a long walk, or a screen if that is your thing. When evening comes, the moon takes its turn on the lake.
Our kind of Black Friday is a black sky full of stars. No deal on the planet shines brighter.
Come with your family. Come with friends.
Come alone, with your cart and a blanket.
Bring the group if you like, and see our post on gathering everyone for the holidays.
A Refuge in the Loud Months
The season between Black Friday and New Year's runs fast. There is a lot of wanting in it, a lot of doing, and not much stillness. Our cabins are here for that stretch. For the early finisher who wants a quiet reward. For the host who needs one weekend off. For anyone who feels the season getting loud and needs a place to set it down. Our three lake cabins are waiting at Bourbon State Fishing Lake. Shop if you like. Rest either way.
