Staples is the perfect place to slow down, stay cozy, and enjoy the season. Whether you’re visiting or rediscovering your hometown, here’s how to plan the ultimate winter weekend vacation or staycation in Staples.

Friday Evening | Check In & Wind Down

🏨 Check in at The Timberlake Hotel

Kick off your weekend by settling into The Timberlake Hotel, your cozy home base for the weekend. After unpacking, head straight for:

  • The indoor pool
  • The hot tub (trust us—this hits different in winter ❄️)

End the night with dinner at a local restaurant or takeout back to your room. No cooking, no cleanup—just relax.

Saturday Morning | Slow Start & Warm Drinks

☕ Coffee + Breakfast in Town

Sleep in a little, then head out for coffee at Stomping Grounds or breakfast at The Spot. Winter weekends are made for slow mornings, warm drinks, and nowhere to rush off to.

Take a stroll through town, pop into a few local shops, and enjoy the quiet charm of a winter morning in Staples.

Saturday Afternoon | Winter Fun Outdoors

🌲 Embrace the Season

Bundle up and get outside—Staples offers plenty of ways to enjoy winter:

* Snowshoe local trails
* Go sledding with family or friends on the Lakewood’s sledding hill
* Take a peaceful winter walk and soak in the snowy scenery
* Head to Dower Lake for ice fishing or skating

Fresh air + movement = the best kind of winter reset.

Saturday Evening | Cozy & Community

🍽 Dinner + Evening Plans

Enjoy dinner at a local restaurant, then choose your vibe:

* Attend a local event, game, or fundraiser
* Head back to The Timberlake Hotel for another swim or soak
* Stay in with a movie night, snacks, and cozy vibes

Staples winter nights are relaxed—and that’s part of the charm.

Sunday Morning | One Last Cozy Moment

🥞 Breakfast & Reflection

Wrap up your weekend with breakfast in town or a relaxed morning at the hotel. Take one last dip in the pool, sip your coffee slowly, and enjoy the calm before heading home.

Before you leave, make plans to come back—because winter in Staples has a way of pulling you in.
