The Weekender Mission

Making Every Day Feel Like the Weekend

Your stay at Placid Bay is about more than the comfortable bed, the lakeside views, or even the events you plan. It’s about the growth and connection you experience, from the first deep breath of mountain air to the last laugh with good friends. It’s about capturing the essence of the weekend—the idea that life is meant to be lived to the fullest—and translating that idea into unique memories you’ll look back on for years. It’s why we do what we do at every hotel and property by Weekender.
