Planning a Getaway for a Large Group: Everything You Need to Make It Perfect

At Birchcliff Resort, we understand that planning a trip for a large group – whether you’re traveling with 8 people or 18 – is no easy feat. That’s why our team has put together some key tips you should know when going through the planning process, as well as why we’re your choice for a large group getaway. 

💡 Key Takeaways

• Vacation rentals beat hotels for large groups, offering a shared space, full kitchen, and no scattered floors • On-site amenities create comfort and convenience without leaving the property • Birchcliff Resort’s group lodge sleeps up to 22, with 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and a full suite of amenities

When it comes to finding the perfect vacation location for your large group, it’s important to consider all your options for lodging. With that in mind, more travelers are shifting to vacation rentals over hotels, as group lodging offers a shared living space instead of scattering groups across different floors.

Additionally, vacation rentals provide a sense of inclusion that is typically not found in separate hotel rooms. For instance, a full kitchen will allow large groups to cook their own meals, reducing the stress and costs of the trip overall.

To create the best trip possible for large groups, ensuring your chosen location incorporates plenty of amenities is essential. This is because certain amenities can provide the comfort and convenience that your large group is looking for while also enhancing the experience for all.

Amenities can range from firepits to pools and other water features, as well as electronics like TVs and microwaves. At Birchcliff Resort, guests can gather around charcoal grills, relax at picnic tables, cool off in the outdoor heated pool, or unwind on covered porches, all without leaving the property.

Along with securing high-quality amenities that your group will enjoy, planning immersive activities can help balance fun with family and friends alongside much-needed downtime.

Just some of our on-site activities that your large group can participate in include the following.
