Baker Creek Mountain Resort’s new “Lights Out” package takes the property’s rustic, off-the-grid vibe a little further. Guests can book one of the Heritage Trappers Cabins (prices start at about $350 per night), which are equipped with, well, not a whole lot. No cell service, Wi-Fi, or electricity, just a fireplace and lanterns, plus a lock box to store devices. So instead of swiping and scrolling, guests can go cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice skating.
