Considering a girls weekend in the winter? Here is a great itinerary for you & your girls while staying at Up A Creek at Claytor Lake, VA.
Friday evening:
• Check in. Relax a little and enjoy some w**e from Iron Heart Winery that you can purchase at the local grocery store. Don’t forget to get snacks to share.
• If you make it before dinner, plan to eat and enjoy drinks at Great Wilderness Brewing Company in Pulaski, VA. Gluten free options available. If not or you want to stay in, get some groceries to make a nice charcuterie. Then watch a chick flick on an 80 inch TV, build a fire, & enjoy catching up with friends.
Saturday
• Morning: Enjoy coffee at the house while you enjoy looking at the lake. You can cook breakfast in the fully stocked kitchen.
• Midday (Dublin): Shop at Southern Hearts Boutique and support local.
• Afternoon (Radford): Stop at River City Distillery and/or Long Way Brewing to enjoy local drink options. Hungry and need a snack? Visit Macados or BT’s and have an appetizer. Browse downtown Pulaski's shops and walk or bike a stretch of the New River Trail, which runs through the county.
• Evening: Casual dinning at Brick House Pizza or an upscale at Bee and Butter. Radford in Pulaski, then check the Pulaski Theatre calendar for a movie or live show.
• Night: Camp fire and s’mores at the house.
Sunday:
• Morning: Stay in for a few and have coffee at the house while you laugh over your Saturday adventures.
(Newbern) Enjoy breakfast/brunch at Draper Mercantile and Trading Company a historic building with artisan shops and a café. Gluten free options are available. Food, coffee, and mimosas are delicious. Shop after and find unique gifts.
