Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation

Last Updated: 05/09/2013

We women rarely take time for ourselves.  Study after study shows that American women are both more stressed than their male counterparts and than they were years ago.  We work.  We cook.  We clean.  The modern woman does it all…and every once in a while, we deserve a break.  After a long week of spreadsheets and laundry, could anything be better than a little escape with your girlfriends?  Just imagine it – no cooking, no cleaning, no worries.  Just good friends kicking back, relaxing, and enjoying each others’ company.

"The Girls' Weekend experience was wonderful!  This gave my girlfriends and I a chance to get away, relax, and enjoy the coziness of your lodge.  The rooms were clean, the food amazing, the staff very accommodating and the experience unforgettable.  I will recommend your lodge to everyone I know looking to getaway!!" Lori Murphy, St Louis MO - April Getaway.

Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
I am so ready for my own time. I am a full time mommy of 2, a full time office manager at a job outside of home and I REALLY love and admire the nature and relaxing in a beautiful lodge.
Posted by Debra Cadek on 1/16/2013 9:13:31 AM
Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
Nikki - Its $99 for double occupancy and $139 for single. No the $40 is using our atv.

Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
My best friend is getting married in may and I think this would be the perfect thing to do for a "bachelorette" party! If you get one room withthe double beds and u have four people stay does everyone just pay the $99 or how does that work?
Posted by Lindsey Eickelman on 1/16/2013 11:02:23 AM
Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
Lindsey - The $99 is a special rate we are doing for the girls getaway weekend. But we could come up with something similiar for you.

Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
How many spots/rooms do you have available for this event? We are working as fast as we can to get a group together!
Posted by Jessica McCabe on 1/16/2013 12:34:30 PM
Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
Jessica-Originally we planned on 20-25 girls in 10-12 rooms. We just posted this today and have already booked 11 girls so we may end up opening up more spots but we only have 5 additional rooms. I would reserve it as soon as you can. I think its going to fill fast!

Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
Our girlfriend weekends usually start on Friday night - dinner and wine tasting, Saturday breakfast with shopping and festival going, followed by a very nice dinner, a good round of games (card, board, or other) and of course more wine tasting...Sunday is brunch lunch and long picture taking goodbyes before hitting the road...your weekend isnt even 24 hours - not enough time!

Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
Lisa - Great to hear that!! We were concerned that some may not be able to get away for an entire weekend. But you are welcome to book Fri too! Right now we have rooms open both nights. Next time we will give a one and two day option!

Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation

Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation

Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
Teresa - Great! We are in Illinois but yes you can fly to St Louis. Its a very nice flight. There is plenty of shopping and great food. Call us if you would like us to help you plan. Heather - Its the same price as Sat $99 per person.
Posted by Gary on 1/17/2013 8:02:50 AM
Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
Heather - I wanted to make sure you didn't miss my answer in the last post. Friday would be the same price as Sat $99 per person.

Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
What do you need to make a reservation? Full amount due or just partial? It could take me a bit to get my "gals" together to all their money........
Posted by Hollie on 1/22/2013 7:03:02 PM
Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
Hollie - We normally get the full amount but we can work with you.
Posted by Gary on 1/22/2013 7:23:36 PM
Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
I would love to get away, I haven't had a vacation in several years.I would take my mom,sister & my sister-in-laws.That's if I'm allowed to take that many.

Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
do you still have rooms for 3-4 people available in May AND do you have a deposit? how much?
Posted by Marla on 1/30/2013 10:09:35 AM
Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
Yes we still have a few spots open for May. Normally its 100% paid at the time of reservation but we are allowing some to pay 50% now. Regular rooms are $99 each (two people in a room) and a suite is $110 each (min 3 in a suite.) I would call soon as I am not sure how much longer we will have availability
Posted by Gary on 1/30/2013 10:26:19 AM
Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
We just made our reservations for the May weekend! We are so excited!

Posted by Gary on 1/31/2013 11:45:24 AM
Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
Unfortunately we can't make it in May, but was wondering if you would be offering any more of these Girls Weekends in the near future? We'd LOVE to come!!! Thanks :)
Posted by Angie on 2/1/2013 10:27:36 AM
Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
Angie - Sorry you can't make the May getaway. Yes, our next one will be July 19th & 20th. We also have a couple rooms left open for April 26th as well. Gary

Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
I can only dream of winning this very generous trip! I would take my daughter who just became a New Mother...I would also love to invite the other "Grandma" and "GodMother" as a thank you to them for being there for my daughter in all her *facepalm* moments of Mommyhood. Whoever wins...They will be blessed.

Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
Planning a Ladies Retreat for our Church. Love the pricing on this, but our last retreat we had close to 70 ladies. Can you accomodate that and what kind of prices are we looking at? We wont be needing as many activities etc as you have plannned but would like some and especially the meals taken care of. What dates would you have open if this is possible?
Posted by Mary Tromblee on 2/26/2013 9:52:17 PM
Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
Great Mary! It really depends on how many you are comfortable putting in one room. It would be the same pricing per person as above. It would probably be easiest to go over the possible dates by phone. Our office number is 217-734-2526. Thanks!
Posted by Gary on 2/27/2013 8:31:03 AM
Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
Who won the weekend getaway? I read that everyone that entered would be recieving an email but I haven't recieved any. Just curious to know who won. :)

Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
Amanda Coen is our winner!!We posted in on the Pin It To Win it blog.
Posted by Gary on 3/3/2013 12:20:14 PM
Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
We are looking to do this. Wondering if you have any rooms available for three or four girls yet. thank you and what is the pricing thank you
Posted by Jerrica Woller on 3/5/2013 9:42:21 PM
Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
Jerrica, yes we still have rooms available. Depending on the room you choose it is $193 or $215 each for two nights. Please call our office 217-734-2526 if you would like to reserve a room. Thanks!
Posted by Gary on 3/6/2013 8:11:07 AM
Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
Just curious, I seen that you had a date to do this later this year in the summer. Will you also be doing this even later on than that say possibly in the fall? Or even in September maybe?
Posted by Corrie Smith on 4/28/2013 8:27:19 PM
Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
Corrie, no we will not be having one in September. Most of our weekend dates are sold out already for September. Oct-Dec we are full with hunters, so right now we will have them in the winter, sprind and summer.

Re: Amazing Girls' Getaway Vacation
For anyone who is questioning whether or not to go, here's my testimonial! I went with a group of my friends this weekend, and even with the yucky weather, we had a fantastic experience! The lodge is comfy, cozy and feels like home. It's spotless (which is AMAZING for a place this big!) and the food is unparallelled. The staff did everything to make sure we had a great time. I cannot recommend it enough. DO IT! :)
