You could even look up new recipes that you’ve wanted to try for a while but haven't had time to make. Being able to make your own meals is also ideal if you have picky eaters or family members with dietary restrictions or allergies. This is because you can cook the things they like and avoid things they can’t have opposed to going to a restaurant and worrying that they’ll mess up your order.

3. Play Some Games

Playing cards or board games are a great way to spend quality time with friends and family. They often bring out a lot of friendly competition, which is a fun distraction from the fact that it’s raining. To make the game interesting, you can even set the stakes a little higher and make it so the winners don’t have to help clean up after dinner.

4. Have a Movie Night

When it’s nasty outside, one of the most entertaining things to do is to watch a good movie! The best part about staying in opposed to going to the theater is that you can watch all your favorite shows and movie series whenever you want. No one likes sitting in a movie theater chair in uncomfortable clothes, and when you have a movie night in your cabin, you can wear whatever you want!

5. Relax in the Jacuzzi

Sometimes after a long day, there’s nothing more fun than a little relaxation. There are also tons of health benefits that come from taking a dip in the Jacuzzi every now and then.
