From spooky-fun pup costume parades to fireside ghost stories, DIY dog treat workshops to twilight trick-or-treat walks, the itinerary is packed with curated experiences every two hours. And yes—there’s fall flavors cooked up for both humans and hounds—Many meals are included!

Only 45 Postcard Cabins so don't GHOST this opportunity. Details and preliminary activity-packed agenda brimming with “wow” moments - DAILY ITINERARY below! 

This Halloween, trade crowded sidewalks for crackling campfires, haunted houses for haunted hiking trails, and trick-or-treating for tail-wagging gourmet treats. Welcome to Howl-o-Ween at the Cabins, an immersive ALL-INCLUSIVE dog-heaven fall getaway—where every detail is designed to wow.

The Setting:
Just two hours from Orlando, Gilchrist Springs is nestled in the lush heart of North Florida near charming High Springs, lies our private 90-acre escape. Think winding trails, moss-draped oaks, and star-drenched skies!

Each air-conditioned cabin includes everything you need (and nothing you don’t) to unwind with your favorite furry sidekick. Most cabins feature a cozy Queen-sized bed, and a select few offer two Queen beds—available on a first-come, first-served basis for an additional fee.

*NOTES: A very limited number of cabins have 2 Queen sized beds, and are on first come, first served basis (i.e. we are not holding them for specific size groups.) Daily itinerary items are examples and subject to change as we coordinate contributor schedules.
