Make time for a little Christmas coziness at Red Roof Cabin, part of Red Roof Retreats—Lake of Egypt’s Tiny Resort.
During our holiday season, this charming log cabin will be dressed for Christmas. Spend an evening beside the gas fireplace, gather around a board game, or unwind in your private outdoor hot tub beneath the night sky. Come for a quiet couples’ escape or bring your favorite people for a few days together.

The Christmas cheer extends beyond your cabin! Your stay includes complimentary, privately scheduled access to Spa-La-La, our festively decorated mini spa featuring a sauna, hot tub, massage chair, red light therapy, and more.
Stop by our festive little camp store, Red Roof Treats, and ask about scheduling time in one of our three decorated holiday golf carts—Santa's Sleigh, Tinsel Taxi, or Evergreen Express. Golf carts are shared among guests and subject to availability.

IMPORTANT FOR YOUR STAY
The cabin is off-lake, rather than lakefront. The lofts require a ladder or steep stairs. There is no nearby public transportation, and icy conditions can make neighborhood roads difficult to navigate.
