Girls’ Weekend in Ellicottville: Spa Time, Shopping, and a Stylish Airbnb Stay
Planning a girls’ weekend that feels relaxing, fun, and a little bit extra? The Ellicottville area is a perfect backdrop: ski-town energy, walkable village streets, and a cozy farmhouse retreat just a short drive away.
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, a bachelorette, or just overdue friend time, here’s how to plan the perfect girls’ getaway with the Ellicottville Farmhouse as your weekend home.
Check In: Your Stylish Farmhouse Home Base
Kick things off by arriving at the Ellicottville Farmhouse, a cozy, comfortable escape just a short drive from the village and slopes. With room to spread out, you can unpack, claim beds, and immediately slip into weekend mode.
Set the vibe on night one with:
Snacks and a simple welcome spread on the kitchen counter
A themed cocktail or mocktail hour around the table
Music, candles, and comfy clothes to shake off the workweek
After a day of travel, gathering by the fire at the Farmhouse is the perfect way to reset and reconnect.
Day 1: Spa Time, Lunch, and Shopping in the Village
Start your girls’ weekend with relaxation. Book morning spa appointments in town so everyone can ease into the trip with a massage, facial, or mani-pedi. Then head into the village for lunch and boutique browsing.
Build your first full day around:
A slow morning at the Farmhouse with coffee and breakfast before you head out
A spa session to unwind and catch up
Lunch at a local restaurant followed by wandering the main streets
Pop into boutiques for clothing, jewelry, and gifts, then pick up wine or treats to bring back to the Farmhouse for later. A small souvenir for each friend—a candle, mug, or accessory—makes the weekend feel even more special.
Day 2: Ski, Shop, or Chill – Choose Your Own Adventure
The beauty of an Ellicottville girls’ weekend is that everyone can do their thing during the day and still come together at night. Some friends may want to ski or snowboard, while others prefer coffee, shopping, or scenic walks.
Options for your second day:
Hit the slopes at nearby resorts while others explore the village
Take a winter walk or easy hike, then warm up with hot cocoa
Plan a “cozy day in” at the Farmhouse with books, games, and a long brunch around the table
Because the Farmhouse is just a short drive to town and the mountain, it’s easy to coordinate meetups and car shares without stressing about logistics.
Evenings: Dinner Out and Cozy Nights In
Make one night a “night on the town” with dinner and drinks in the village, then balance it with at least one full evening at the Farmhouse.
Ideas for memorable nights:
Reserve a table in town, dress up a bit, and enjoy a lingering dinner
Come back to the Farmhouse for dessert, wine, and late-night conversations by the fire
Plan a full “girls’ night in” with charcuterie boards, a movie, or card games around the dining table
The farmhouse setting makes it easy to laugh late, stay comfy, and never feel rushed to leave a table.
Add Little Extras to Elevate the Trip
Small details can turn a simple getaway into a weekend your friends talk about all year.
Fun extras:
Matching pajamas or sweatshirts for group photos
Mini welcome bags waiting at each bed (face masks, snacks, hair ties)
A shared playlist for mornings, getting ready, and after-dinner hangs
A simple balloon garland or banner if you’re celebrating a birthday or bachelorette
Because you have an entire home to yourselves, you can decorate, spread out, and fully customize the space to your group’s vibe.
