We spent our Thanksgiving week at The Perch in Fort Morgan, and it was hands-down one of the most memorable holidays our family has ever had. Swapping cold weather and crowded kitchens for ocean views and peaceful beach walks was the best decision we could’ve made!
The Perch is cozy, spacious, and beautifully decorated with a coastal charm that immediately made us feel at home. The open-concept kitchen and living space made it easy to prepare and share our Thanksgiving meal together—with enough room for everyone to cook, laugh, and relax without stepping on each other’s toes. We even set up our dinner on the deck with a view of the water—who needs a dining room when you have that view?
Instead of fighting traffic and freezing temps, we took sunrise walks on the beach, had morning coffee on the deck, and spent afternoons playing games and watching football with the ocean breeze drifting through the windows. Some of us even started a new tradition: a Thanksgiving morning walk in the sand before cooking began. It was peaceful, grounding, and absolutely beautiful.
The Gulf was our backdrop for the family photo and will make a perfect Christmas Card!
Celebrating Thanksgiving at The Perch reminded us of what the holiday is really about: slowing down, appreciating each other, and making memories together. The beach made it feel extra special—calm, simple, and full of joy.
