Home Alone at Deer Path Inn
Located outside Chicago, near where Kevin McAllister found himself left alone on Christmas, Deer Path Inn used inspiration from the classic film Home Alone to create the Lost in the Lake Forest Suite Experience. Available exclusively through the inn’s Cornwall Suite, this experience includes bath robes upon arrival for guests to keep, a gift box of specialty treats from the local Sweet’s of Lake Forest, an in-room screening of Home Alone and gift cards for shopping at the Lake Forest Bookstore and other local shops. This festive experience is available until Jan. 2, 2022.
It’s a Wonderful Life at the Finger Lakes
Seneca Falls, New York, the inspiration behind Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life, celebrates the classic film at the It’s a Wonderful Life Museum. With this year marking the movie’s 75th anniversary, the museum will display photographs and memorabilia from Karolyn Grimes’ collection, the actress who played Zuzu in the film. To have the ultimate It’s a Wonderful Life experience, stay at The Gould Hotel, a century-old hotel just steps from the museum and bridge said to inspire two scenes in the film.

Sep 30, 2026Review: Sushi by Scratch at Grand Hyatt Deer Valley
Husband-and-wife team Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee made their mark by reinventing the term “hidden gem” through their surprising and intentional collection of destination restaurants. While they launched the original Scratch Kitchen in 2013, an expired lease prompted them to relocate to an unassuming strip mall in suburban Encino in 2015 and rename it Scratch Bar & Kitchen. Even at a time when the San Fernando Valley was not known for innovative 5-star dining, the Lees’ concepts gathered such a strong buzz that discerning diners cheerfully followed them “over the hill.”
