Great Wolf Lodge

Takes pumpkin spice craze to new heights!

CHICAGO – (August, 2023) – Playing into the deep-rooted nostalgia and passion for the addictive fall flavor, Great Wolf Lodge is developing an immersive new room type this fall – the Pumpkin Spice Suite. The beloved indoor water park resort has partnered with content creator, author and interior designer Steffy Degreff to create a one-of-a-kind suite that provides families with a multisensory experience where everything is inspired by pumpkin spice. Available during Great Wolf Lodge’s annual Howl-O-Ween celebration, taking place between September 28 and October 31, 2023, guests can enjoy this fully immersive Pumpkin Spice experience at five resort locations including: Pocono Mountains, Pa.; Gurnee, Ill.; Grapevine, Texas; LaGrange, Ga.; Garden Grove, Calif.

When guests book an overnight stay in the Pumpkin Spice Suite, they’ll be treated to bottomless pumpkin spice coffee products from the coffee shop located in the lodge, along with daily amenity service that includes warm buns with pumpkin cream cheese frosting. Reservations for the suite are available to bookbeginning August 21, 2023 by calling 800-905-9653.

Known for her unique style and colorful home designs, Degreff hand-picked the suite’s décor, using pops of oranges and browns to celebrate the familiar flavors of pumpkin, nutmeg, allspice and cinnamon. Decorative detailing like accent rugs, pumpkin pillows, wall art, faux fall florals and wreaths complement fall-scented fragrances to transport guests into a scenic autumn scape. Everywhere guests look, they’ll be reminded of the changing foliage and sweet indulgences that mark the start of the season.

“I selected an assortment of pieces that embody the feeling of warmth, autumn and sipping a piping hot pumpkin spice coffee while leaf peeping,” said Degreff. “The fall season has always been my favorite ever since I was a little girl, and I would collect leaves with my dad in our neighborhood. Bringing the feeling of the fall leaves and crisp mornings inside and emulating the colors and textures in these fall-inspired rooms with Great Wolf Lodge has been a dream partnership for me! I can't wait to share this design with families, and I hope it brings guests the same joy that it brought me to create!

“Fall is a special time of year for so many families – the leaves are changing colors, it’s the start of a new school year, and it marks the return of everyone’s favorite festive fall flavor – pumpkin spice,” said Great Wolf Lodge Chief Brand Officer, Brooke Patterson. “There’s something really gratifying about taking that first sip of pumpkin spice coffee on a cool fall day, and we brought that sensation to life with a mixture of specially curated scents and decorative details inspired by one of our guests most highly requested autumn treats. We know families come to Great Wolf Lodge to strengthen their packs and make incredible memories, and as we look for new ways to continue evolving our seasonal programming, we’re excited to offer this Pumpkin Spice suite as another way families can create memories at our resorts."
