Once the home of financier Cornelius Vanderbilt Truitt, the restored property now offers elegant suites and inviting gathering spaces that are perfect for reconnecting with friends.

Grab breakfast at Gus’s Grill, with its Chicago based menu with a Greek flare. This iconic diner has been serving up hearty breakfasts and friendly conversation for years—exactly the kind of place that makes a girls trip feel authentic and memorable.

AFTERNOON WINE FLIGHTS

Spend a leisurely afternoon at PaBella Winery & Vineyard, where landscape views and locally crafted wines create the perfect setting for a girls’ getaway. Sip your way through a tasting, enjoy light bites, and soak in the relaxed atmosphere.
