Ever dreamt of off-roading in a Bentley? The Preserve makes it possible (and it’s one of the only places possible to experience it in the country). Among the resort’s signature offerings is the Bentley Bentayga Experience, a bespoke partnership with the legendary automotive brand. Guests can explore the property in style—whether it’s navigating off-road terrain, enjoying a luxury picnic, or heading to the shooting range—with a personal Bentley Bentayga designed to enhance every moment of the stay.

For a one-of-a-kind dining experience unlike any other, the iconic Maker’s Mark Hobbit House™ transports guests into a storybook setting. Hidden among lush greenery, the rounded wooden doors open to reveal a stone-walled interior illuminated by candlelight. Guests are treated to an upscale grilled menu paired with fine bourbon designed to ensure a magical and unforgettable evening.

When you’re not adventuring, wind down with some rest and relaxation at the OH! Spa. The 12,000-square-foot spa captures the Preserve’s signature tranquil spirit. The oasis features co-ed heated whirlpools, steam rooms, saunas, and an outdoor infinity pool overlooking the forest. Signature nature-inspired treatments and eight serene treatments provide the ultimate setting for unwinding.
