Remember sleep-overs? How about late nights in the dorms or sorority house just hanging out with your friends and talking about everything and nothing until the wee hours? As kids and college students, getting the girls together wasn’t hard, but when the “World of Adulting” hits, it can become difficult to manage a girls’ lunch, much less some real quality time together. Real life is busy life, but with just a bit of planning, you can make a great girls’ getaway weekend happen, and the perfect place is Rumbling Bald Resort.

First, figure out who you want to invite. The people make the trip, so what kind of group are you hoping to spend a weekend with? Old friends in need of some reconnecting, an already deeply bonded group, or even a group of friends that you’d like to get to know better are all good, so once you figure out the who, planning the type of trip becomes easier.

Figure out the dates and get it on everyone’s calendars. Finding a mutually agreeable when can be tough, but it is doable, once you have figured out which weekend or week, go ahead and have everyone put it on their calendar so they can schedule around it.

Go ahead and book your place. The vacation homes at Rumbling Bald give you a wide range of choices. Do you want to pair off and book several golf course condos, or maybe you want everyone in one large house where you can recapture a bit of that pajama party feel? More Lake Lure views, or more Blue Ridge Mountains and golf course views? Whatever your preferences, Rumbling Bald can make it happen.

What do you like to do? Does your group like to golf? Play tennis? Hike? Or maybe you’re thinking more along the lines of spa days, shopping, and great food? Maybe some of each? Rumbling Bald can take care of you. Whether your crew is into championship golf coursestennis or pickleball, incredible trails for all levels of activity, or the rejuvenating Spa at Rumbling Bald, you can build your trip around what your group enjoys most. As far as food goes, grab lunch at the Eagle’s Nest Café and dinner at the Lakeview Restaurant. Rumbling Bald also offers personalized wine tours of three local wineries, and there are incredible, eclectic, and unique shopping to be had just a few minutes away.

In the end, remember that it’s all about each other. These are the women you want to get away with, to spend some time with, to go out and stay in with, so make some time for all of it. Stay home and cook together, talk together, maybe watch sappy movies together, but be together. Designate one person the official photographer, and, when you can, leave the phones behind, or off. Unplug from the net and plug into your friends at Rumbling Bald, and you and your pals will be talking about this getaway for a long time. So much so, that you may make Rumbling Bald Resort your annual “girls getaway” place to retreat!
