Northern Escape: A Girls Holiday in Elk Rapids

We're dreaming up a weekend designed for women who want to get away, get cozy, have fun and enjoy the best of Elk Rapids. Whether you’re traveling in for the weekend or making a staycation out of it, there will be plenty to fill your days.

Spend the afternoon wandering through local shops and enjoying special shopping experiences, including a vintage shopping market at the HERTH Hall. Grab a cocktail, linger over lunch or dinner at one of our many participating restaurants serving up delicious eats throughout the weekend, and make time for a little pampering with special spa experiences.

Want to move your body? We’ve got that, too. Enjoy movement and wellness experiences designed to help you feel good, energized and relaxed. Bundle up and head outside to take in the beauty of winter in Northern Michigan, or stay warm inside with good food, great conversation and a little retail therapy.

Most importantly, this weekend is about time together.

Time with your girlfriends. Time to laugh until your stomach hurts. Time to sit over one more cocktail. Time to wander into a shop just because something caught your eye. Time to sleep in, get a massage, take a winter walk or linger over dinner without checking the clock.

Elk Rapids is the perfect little backdrop for it all — charming, walkable, welcoming and full of those small-town details that make a weekend away feel special.

So grab your girls, put it on the calendar and start planning your winter escape to our little corner of Northern Michigan.

More details and participating businesses are coming soon.

There are lots of lodging options throughout Elk Rapids and the surrounding area, so make a weekend of it. Follow along at Elk Rapids Chamber of Commerce for updates, participating businesses, experiences and everything you’ll need to plan your stay.

Come for the weekend. Stay for the memories.
