A Hudson Valley Bachelorette Weekend
Updated: Jul 27
Bachelorette weekends have become increasingly popular and we believe the Hudson Valley is the perfect destination for a girls weekend getaway. With so many types of activities, from hiking and yoga, to cooking classes or wine tours, the Hudson Valley can accommodate an itinerary that is sure to please every bride.
The best way to celebrate with a group is reserve place where you can all stay under one roof. Watergrasshill Bed & Breakfast is a great place to stay because of our proximity to the Shawangunk Wine trail, Mohonk Preserve, downtown New Paltz and much, much more. Our house itself has 5 guests rooms each with one bed, making the maximum amount of guests for the weekend 10. The best part? Each room has a private bathroom, a total bonus for a group of 10 all trying to get ready at the same time!
Watergrasshill B&B
Included in the room rate is a farm fresh breakfast. Wake up and smell the coffee ladies! (We know you're going to need it.) Our breakfast menu is always changing and we take requests before your arrival if the bride has a weakness for French Toast. A sample menu: Homemade coffee cake, organic fruit and yogurt parfait, veggie frittata with a side of hash-browns and bacon. Are you drooling yet? And feel free to B.Y.O. champagne because we know mimosa's are the best way to start a day of celebrating the bride-to-be!
After breakfast feel free to enjoy our grounds, relaxing in the rocking chairs on the front porch, soaking in the mountain views on the patio, lounging on the hammock in the front lawn or playing games in our living room. There are so many places to relax with the girls on the property, but be sure to go explore the Hudson Valley and all that it has to offer!
Private Dinner at Watergrasshill B&B
We decided to put together some sample itineraries to make your planning experience a breeze:
The Creative Weekend:

Friday evening, settle into your cozy matching pajamas while a private chef prepares a beautiful four-course dinner just for your group on our mountain-view patio. Choose the menu, and we'll provide the unforgettable setting.
On Saturday morning, wake up to a homemade breakfast featuring from-scratch baked goods before spending the morning exploring New Paltz's charming boutiques, antique shops, and New Paltz farmers market. Pick up a few local treats for lunch, then return to the B&B for a private hands-on workshop. Choose from vintage cake decorating, homemade scones and jam, pottery, floral design, and more. There's something for every creative spirit. That evening, get dressed up for dinner at one of our favorite local restaurants. A current favorite? The Ridge by Mill House.
After one last homemade breakfast on Sunday morning, pack up and make one final stop at a local flower farm to pick your own bouquet.—a beautiful keepsake from a weekend spent celebrating the bride.
The Adventure Weekend:
Private Floral Class at Watergrasshill B&B
Friday after check-in, kick off the weekend with a private hands-on workshop at the B&B, like our blooms and beverages floral arranging and mixology experience. Afterwards, head into downtown New Paltz for dinner at a local farm-to-table restaurant. One of our favorites is Clay at Wildflower Farms.
Start your Saturday with a nutritious and delicious farm-fresh breakfast at Watergrasshill Bed & Breakfast before heading to Mohonk Preserve for the Bonticou Crag hike. We suggest picking up sandwiches on your way so you can enjoy a picnic at the summit while taking in the breathtaking views. Not visiting during hiking season? Cross-country skiing is also available during the winter months. After your hike, return to the B&B to clean up and maybe even sneak in a quick nap. For dinner, bike to downtown New Paltz directly from the B&B on the scenic Wallkill Valley Rail Trail, or drive into town to explore one of the area's many restaurants.
After another hearty breakfast on Sunday morning, visit one of our local farms before heading home. Depending on the season, you can pick your own strawberries, blueberries, peaches, apples, flowers, pumpkins, and more.
The Food and Wine Weekend:
Bachelorette party in the Hudson Valley wine on the front porch Bachelorette party in the Hudson Valley Private Cooking Class
Check in on Friday and start off the party with a private hands-on cooking class in our kitchen studio. The cooking classes are B.Y.O.B and we send you a few sample menu's to choose from. The rapid fire Mexican class has been a favorite for bachelorette parties with the theme of "The Final Fiesta." These classes are a fun way to learn something new while enjoying time with your besties!
After a homemade breakfast at the B&B, get picked up by a private bus for a guided wine tour along the Shawangunk Wine Trail. Sample local New York State Wine while enjoying the beauty of the Hudson Valley. Then head home for maybe a nap (or more wine on on the porch), before heading out for an evening at one of our choice restaurants. Watergrasshill Favorites: Pitanga North.
After breakfast on Sunday morning, stop by a local farm stand or the Beacon Farmer's Market to stock up on fresh produce, baked goods, cheeses, and other Hudson Valley specialties before making your way home.
The Wellness Weekend:
Yoga at the B&B Bachelorette Picnic in the Hudson Valley
Check in at the B&B Friday afternoon and settle into your rooms. Have dinner delivered and enjoy it together in the dining room before joining us in our kitchen studio for a private candle-making workshop. Learn how to pour your own soy wax candle, complete with a custom scent, to take home as a keepsake from the weekend. The workshop wraps up around 8 p.m., leaving the rest of the evening free for games, conversation, and quality time together in the living room.
Saturday morning after a farm fresh breakfast, head to a local spa for a service of your choice. Spend the day relaxing with your ladies and enjoying the down time. After zen-ing out, come home and enjoy a picnic on the patio. We can arrange for a private chef and beautiful setup overlooking the mountains.
