5 Tips for Planning a Successful Holiday Meeting
The holidays are a time to celebrate success, foster team spirit, and bring everyone together before the year winds down. For businesses looking to escape the chaos and find the perfect setting to host a fall or winter meeting or holiday gathering, Treetops Resort offers the ideal Up North escape. Whether you're based in Detroit, Lansing, or Grand Rapids, our close proximity to I-75 makes getting here a breeze.
Here are five expert tips to help make your next holiday meeting or party one to remember:
Book Early to Secure Ideal Space and Dates
Holiday schedules fill quickly—especially for groups. Booking early ensures you get your preferred space, dates, and access to the best lodging options. Treetops offers flexible event spaces, including our meeting rooms and cozy private dining areas, perfect for both intimate gatherings and large-scale celebrations. Consider pairing your meeting with a group activity like snowshoeing, sleigh rides, or a Fall round of golf on one of five championship courses.
Lean Into the Season
One of the greatest perks of hosting at Treetops during the fall or winter months is the stunning seasonal atmosphere. Picture golden fall foliage framing your team photos, or a snow-dusted landscape outside the window during a fireside meeting. Our resort naturally enhances any theme—whether you're going for rustic autumn charm or elegant holiday sparkle. Embrace the setting with warm décor, seasonal menus, and cozy meeting breaks featuring cider or hot cocoa.

Mix Business With Festivity
Holiday meetings shouldn't feel like just another Monday in the office. At Treetops, you can strike the right balance between productivity and celebration. Our team can help you design an itinerary that blends focused meeting blocks with festive dinners, bonfires, or après-meeting cocktails. With amenities like spa services and outdoor adventures, it's easy to reward your team while still hitting your year-end goals.
Keep It Convenient for Your Guests
A central location is key for regional teams—especially in the busy holiday season. Treetops' easy access off I-75 puts us within reach of Metro Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, and beyond. With complimentary parking, on-site lodging, and in-house catering, it’s a one-stop-shop for your meeting or celebration. We remove the travel stress so your team can arrive refreshed and ready to connect.
Add Meaning to Your Meeting
The holidays are the perfect time to reflect on accomplishments and give back. Build a sense of purpose into your agenda with a team recognition moment, year-end awards, or even a charitable tie-in. Treetops staff can help coordinate donation drives, volunteer outings, or community connections that elevate your gathering and create lasting memories.
Post-winter, Treetops has removed thousands of trees to restore turf and open lines of play. That means your chip shots now enjoy better roll and more predictable lies. On bent‑grass greens under the sun—especially on The Tradition or Signature—speed control turns your chip into a true scoring tool.
Finalize Your Plans at Treetops
Treetops Resort is more than a place to meet—it’s a destination to reconnect, recharge, and close out the year on a high note. With the ease of access, unforgettable Northern Michigan scenery, and a wide range of meeting amenities, it’s the perfect basecamp for your fall or winter meeting.
