Vacation Packages
Escape back to a time when life was simple.... Family vacations were fun.... And memories were made. A great way to top off a perfect day on the lake is to gather around a table of fine food with family and friends. To help take some of the hassle out of planning your next vacation, Summersville Lake Retreat has paired up with Cultured Catering to offer pantry service for our overnight guests. From simply stocking the fridge with all of your breakfast favorites to finding marinated steaks, ready for the grill. We can arrange to have your favorite meals fully prepared, or ready for you to make on your own. You're on vacation, relax and enjoy the day knowing that we got you covered. Our Escape to the Lake package includes two nights lodging in one of our fully equipped cabins, Welcome Basket and Breakfast in the fridge, a day on Summersville Lake in the watercraft of your choice with a catered lunch aboard, and an incredible marinated steak dinner, ready for you to grill, from Cultured Catering.
If you find that you need more time to unwind, add a third evening and we’ll include breakfast and lunch from Cultured Catering, an afternoon visit to Kirkwood Winery and Isaiah Morgan Distillery just North of Summersville where you’ll meet our neighbors Shirley and Brenda Morris. Sample from a hearty selection of wines and choose a complimentary bottle to enjoy later in the evening back at your cabin. Until then, it’s on to either Café Acropolis, that hidden gem of a restaurant that is well worth the search. Family owned and operated for 17 years, Pete and Betul 
Kudurogianis have literally opened up their home to everyone in their hilltop farmhouse, refurbished in Greek tradition. Ask Betul to seat you outside under the grape arbor where Pete’s mouthwatering specialty dishes, including broiled shish kabobs and fresh honey drizzled baklava will transport you across the Mediterranean. Or let Cultured Catering prepare another evening of fine food for your dinner in your cabin.
Packages starting at $525 plus tax for 2 people. Call for details.
In and beyond the Gauley National Recreation Area, Summersville Lake and the New River Gorge National River areas are a plethora of places to go and things to do. We are in the heart of whitewater rafting country, with over a dozen quality river companies to choose from, the closet being only minutes from us. We can also give you heads up on the best rock climbing, mountain biking, horseback and ATV trail riding, both guided and on your own. From hunting antiques and exhibition coal mines to wild side cave tours and scuba charters, our rainy day itineries can rival the best of what some areas have to offer.
Looking for that "Life Changing" Vacation. . . . Come train with MovNat Founder, Erwan Le Corre
During the summer of 2009, Summersville Lake Retreat hosted world renowned fitness guru Erwan Le Corre, as he, along with assistant Jeff Kuhland introduced the MovNat System to the United States. Expanding upon the century old teachings of Georges Herbert's Methode Naturelle, Erwan has incorporated the twelve natural capacities of movement into a comprehensive training system. Designed to optimize your natural movement skills, MovNat will better prepare you to real world challenges. It is fully scalable and suits any individual regardless of experience, condition or gender.
With an uncanny eye for transforming any given terrain into a most unique "classroom" challenge, Erwan was delighted at the array of opportunities that our region has to offer. From the topography of our own backyard, to the incredible shorelines of Summersville Lake and the Gauley River National Recreation Area as their playground, participants from all walks of life and levels of ability gathered to practice the natural movement philosophy of MovNat.
In response to all of the feedback (Check out the Reviews), Erwan will again conduct a series of 5 day Re-awakening (beginner) and Expansion (advanced) sessions scheduled for August and September of 2010. This is a unique opportunity to train first hand with Erwan Le Corre and learn the fundamentals of walking, running, jumping, balancing, moving on all fours, climbing, lifting, carrying, throwing, catching, swimming and defending. Under Erwan's expert tutelage, you will learn to train "smarter not harder", in a natural enviroment like none other to achieve a level of performance you had not thought possible.
