Free Veterans Day cabin getaway

Veterans Day deal WVDear Veterans,

We love you, and want to say thank you, again. We always offer 10% off for veterans anytime, but come Veterans Day, we give it away. And this year we got some big help.

We have a bunch of people that said, “Yes, whatever you need,” so brace yourself for an all-inclusive Veterans Day getaway/giveaway for free:

– 2 Nights at Opossum Creek Retreat (Nov. 10 & 11, 2015)
– Bridge Walk on Nov. 11 at 10 a.m. (Reservation required)
– Breakfast at Cathedral Cafe
– Lunch at Secret Sandwich Society
– Coffee from Vandal’s Kitchen
– Drinks at Maggie’s Pub

It’s our thanks to you. And you can say thanks back to these local business by giving them some love on social media. You know, take a selfie in front of their sign and post it on Facebook, or tweet about it, or review us on Google or any other spots.

The bonus: It’s like a treasure hunt. Get all of these great local business to sign your passport (waiting for you in your cabin), and we will give you a set of Opossum Creek Retreat logo glasses/mugs as a bonus.

This is the only time we wish we had more cabins. We only have 6 cabins available: 3 cabins with 2 bedrooms; 2 cabins with 1 room; and The Farmhouse with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. (Bring an old army buddy or 3 or 4!)

Here are the rules:

  1. You must be active duty or retired military, any branch.
  2. If you have taken advantage of this special in the past, please allow others a chance.
  3. If you show up, it is free. Only reserve a space if you are 100% sure you will be able to come. We will require your credit card info, and will charge your card for the full price of the stay if you do not show up.

To enter, send your name, rank and branch of service to retreat@opossumcreek.com, and also tell us how many people are in your group. We will draw from the hat and notify you by Sunday, Nov. 1.

Harm’s Way

On some level, we all ride in this space at all times. As humans, we seek it. Some seek more, much more. Others push as far as they can toward the safe end of the spectrum. We all should know it is there.

Thanks for your service!

This is not a USA thing. It is a human thing. It’s just that in the USA, we have options. Well, most of us do. In much of the world, the spectrum is infinitely smaller, and skewed hard toward the “harm’s way” end. My deepest hope is that our efforts in the truest and purest form can help this spectrum grow for the rest of our fellow human peoples.

Some call it freedom.

Putting yourself in harm’s way for the sake of others is a conscious choice. One that is not made without serious contemplation. Not everyone can sacrifice in this way. You are a special person.

In honor of those who choose to serve our country, we would like to say thank you for being willing, ready and able to be placed in harm’s way so the rest of us don’t have to get any where near that end of the spectrum.

For years, we have offered free cabins to the members of our armed services on Veterans Day just to say thank you. Today seems like a good day to make that offer again.

Thank you to those who serve and have served in harm’s way. As a gift to you in appreciation:

  • -2 free nights at Opossum Creek Retreat
  • -A set of OCR mugs or glasses, your choice. Let us know when you make your reservation.

First come, first served. All we ask in return for your free stay is that once you have stayed at Opossum Creek Retreat you post your favorite service-related picture to the OCR Facebook page and when you post it, tell us your rank, branch and where you served. Or take a selfy by our sign and post that.

If you have had the opportunity to take advantage of this offer in the past, please share the offer with your friends and family to allow others to do the same.
