When you need a break from the boyfriend, husband or significant other, why not plan a weekend Girlfriend Getaway at a bed and breakfast with some of your friends? After all, there are many wonderful bed and breakfast/country inns just waiting with a unique experience to treat you in style!
Sheep Shearing and Knitting Bed and Breakfast Getaway
Experience the Girlfriends Wooly Weekend at the Phineas Swann Inn in Montgomery, Vermont. The lavishly restored 1880’s Victorian farmhouse offers 3 hours of knitting lessons for up to six by an experienced weaver with hand spun yarn, bamboo knitting needles, and a knitting book to take home. Visit a local sheep farm (during the season) to watch shearing “in action” and receive 10% off products at Wool Folks. This fun package is exclusively available to our guests through an arrangement with the “Montgomery Weavers Gallery”, a cooperative of local women who raise their own sheep and loom and dye their own yarn with colors provided from flowers/bark from our local mountains and fields.
Texas-Hold-Em Poker Bed and Breakfast Getaway – Learn to Bluff
The aptly-named Hexagon House Bed & Breakfast in Pentwater, Michigan is a six-sided 1870’s home that offers the last word in gentle Victorian elegance. However, for the perfect Girlfriend Getaway, the Hexagon House changes gears by offering its very own Poker instructional weekend. Gather eight of your friends, then come and learn anything from basic play to how to compete in this so-called “man’s game”. With the help of energizing drinks and snacks, you will learn the basics of Texas-Hold-Em Poker; ranking of the hands, key terminology and poker speak, how to bet, the importance of position, and the ever-practical strategies for bluffing. After two days, you can return home and win back the weekend’s cost from the male of the house!
Pampered Cowgirls Bed and Breakfast Getaway
Gather your gal pals and join other pampered cowgirl divas for a weekend of fun, frolic and feasting at the BlissWood Bed & Breakfast in Cat Spring, Texas. Sit around the fire staring at the stars with your girlfriends while munching on s’mores and listening to the cowboy singer at the campfire cookout. Take in the Chuck wagon breakfast and then go horseback riding or listen to the horse whisperer, Janice Terra talk about communicating with horses. Play games with the horses and try horse meditation.
Culinary Diva Shopping Tour, Horseback on the Beach & Midnight Boutique Shopping B&B Getaway
Pack your bags and embrace that inner longing to leave your responsibilities behind and blow out of town to spend a weekend with your best girlfriends! At the MacCallum House Inn in Mendocino, California you will enjoy a gourmet breakfast and then take a personal food shopping tour at the Harvest Market with culinary diva, Margaret Fox. She'll teach you how to stock your pantry so you're ready for any impromptu occasion. Get the girlfriends together for an outdoor girl adventure like biking, kayaking or horseback riding on the beach. Stay up late and go midnight shopping at the Mendocino Village Boutiques. You and the girls are promised leisurely mornings, afternoon adventures and late night fun!
Vintage Wine, Gourmet Dining, Classic "Chick Flicks" Bed and Breakfast Getaway
On the outside, The Red Maple Inn in Spencer, Massachusetts is a stately 1780s mansion, but on the inside it is a haven for a girlfriend's weekend of great food, wine and the best classic "chick flicks" ever made. As you and your best girlfriends savor champagne, co-owner and "film buff extraordinaire", John Bills, will play the greatest chick flicks ever made. Films such as the George Cukor's "The Women" to "The Way We Were" with Streisand and Redford will be shown on the Red Maple Inn's 80" large screen in its private screening room. Enjoy a special dinner prepared by Chef Shari Alexander followed by another great film and discussion with vintage wines and Belgian chocolates.
