The Girls' Trip That Made It Out of the Group Chat

When booking your trip, be sure to stay at one of the many prime waterfront rentals or in one of the picture-worthy lodges located in Claytor Lake State Park! Begin your trip with a relaxing day on Claytor Lake. Here you can spend the day tanning on the beach at the state park, swimming in the water, or exploring the coves on a rented boat. Whether your girl group is looking for adventure or serenity, the waters of Claytor Lake have it all. After a sunny day on the water, cool off with a tasty meal and a drink at The Mason Jar just a few minutes down the road from Claytor Lake State Park.

The second day of your stay is all about self-indulgence! Gather the girlies for a trip to Sittin’ Pretty Beauty Lounge where the pampering is endless. Choose from a variety of facials, get matching manis and pedis, and an absolute must is the viral Japanese Scalp Massages. Spend the rest of the day shopping all the local boutiques Pulaski County has to offer. You’re guaranteed a great haul from The Weekend Boutique, Southern Hearts Boutique, or Gem City Market. Refuel during your shopping excursion with a stop in Broussard’s General Store for a sandwich and a sweet treat!

Is it even a girls’ trip without an amazing brunch!? Spend your last day with a delicious breakfast at The Draper Mercantile and Trading Company. Afterward, explore all that Thee Draper Village has to offer such as The Curious Quill gift shop. Pro Tip: Don’t skip out on a Coffee Pour Over from The Conery (you can thank us later). Then, spend the afternoon touring the three wineries that call Pulaski County home. Iron Heart Winery, Spinning Jenny Vineyard, and New River Vineyard & Winery each offer an array of delicious local wines. Round out the day with an alfresco dining experience at Rock House Marina where the BBQ and live music on the water’s edge will leave you ready for your next trip!
