It's that time of year - the Christmas decorations are down, the holidays have passed, and winter looms ahead.  There aren't too many official holidays on the calendar at this time of year - so you need to create your own reason for a little break from work and worry!  When it's cold out it's a great time to book a room at the Otter Creek Inn.  Pick one with a fireplace, order in a pizza, and snuggle down to watch one of the 200+ movies (free for your use) at the Otter Creek Inn. Some of our guests check in and never leave the facility until check-out time.  That's a true get away.
