Girlfriend Getaways

There’s no better place for girls only weekend getaways than the Lake Lure & the Blue Ridge Foothills area. You know you deserve it, and who could want more? Think manicures, pedicures, aromatherapy massages, shopping, cruising in a boat on lovely Lake Lure, hiking at Chimney Rock Park. Choose from many lodging options and packages for festive weekend getaways with a girlfriend.

Shopping, pampering, boating
The Firehouse Inn in Rutherfordton is perfect for mother-daughter weekend getaways. Enjoy lodging in the former firehouse, discount shopping at Tanner Outlets and lunch at the Water Oak restaurant beside Tanner. Your inn hosts can help arrange a massage, manicure or pedicure, and you can check out antiques and books at shops nearby. At the Grafton Lodge in Lake Lure, take advantage of package weekend vacation deals that include someone cooking a full breakfast for you, a boat tour of the lake and a visit to Chimney Rock Park.

Girls’ weekend vacation
Make your weekend seem like a long vacation with a whirlpool bath, wine and other goodies and all the outdoor activities you desire. Grab three friends for a weekend for four at Four Seasons Cottages in Lake Lure, where you may enjoy a whirlpool spa, tickets to Chimney Rock Park, restaurant coupons and a basket of treats. Another foursome option for your girls’ weekend getaways is the Spectacular Hill House in Lake Lure, where a package deal — with mountain views — includes dinner for four, lunch vouchers, chilled wine and chocolate-dipped strawberries and other offerings. A mid-week special at the Chalet Club in Lake Lure will keep you in shape with hiking, tennis, fishing, boating and swimming on site and golf and horseback riding nearby.

Weekend getaways in the South
The Geneva Riverside Tiki Motel & Bar is among the most relaxing weekend getaways in North Carolina for girlfriends. Packages at the Lake Lure motel include dinner for two at the Tiki Bar, two nights lodging and tickets to Chimney Rock Park. And your pets are welcome for a small additional fee. For bigger girlfriend weekend getaways, try the motel’s weekend pajama party package with lodging for up to six people with a full kitchen and all the fun you can handle at the pool, walking along the Rocky Broad River, hanging out in hammocks and roasting marshmallows.
