4 Reasons You Shouldn’t Choose Us for Your Corporate Meeting (And 5 Why You Should!)

Corporate meetings. Everyone has them from time to time. Not many actually enjoy them. Lots of time sitting in a chair, plenty of artificial light and often terrible catered-in food. Face it, the thought of another corporate meeting is painful.

Know what’s even more painful? Planning them. The logistics, the meeting space, the food, activities. Just another side of corporate meetings that most folks don’t like.

Happy faces tell the story

Are you in charge of planning your next corporate meeting? If so, we like to think we can help (and psstttt….make you look like a star!). Before we tell you about why you should consider us for your next meeting, I’d like to save us both some time and tell you why you shouldn’t choose us. Simply put, we aren’t for everyone.

Why You Shouldn’t Choose Us for Your Corporate Meeting

  • No valet parking
  • No cabs
  • We don’t have much of a club-scene or “night life”
  • Our Meeting Room isn’t art deco, euro or feng shui

Why Opossum Creek is Perfect for Your Next Corporate Meeting

  • NO Suite NO Shoes No Problem!
  • Personalized Service
  • We provide personalized service with attention to detail (Yes, we can do that for you!)

  • The Only “Traffic” is at the Deer Crossing
  • You can park your car at the door of your cabin rental and you won’t need it again until you decide to go home. A stroll through the woods to your meeting? Yes.

  • A Better Kind of Night Life
  • We have very little light pollution which makes for great star-gazing around the campfire (Ever finished a day of meetings with a S’more?)

  • Natural Surroundings
  • We do have a beautiful Timber Frame Great room with big windows that actually open! Sunlight and fresh air…at a meeting?

Recently, we had the pleasure of hosting a corporate meeting with a group of folks that wanted to truly “step outside of the box”.

“This is not the hotel setting we are used to working in and just the setting will require us to think differently.”

We think they did just that. Take a look at their itinerary and decide for yourself.

Day 1
Arrive as flights permit. Dinner is on your own. Simply choose from any of the great local restaurants in Fayetteville. We will provide list and directions.
