Savoring Ontario's finest inns with a girlfriend getaway package
Getting over a breakup? Licking your wounds after a lay-off? Here's a radical thought. Instead of polishing up that resume, embrace the freedom of your newly-found wide open schedule and take the best revenge - a vacation just for you and your galpals ... a girlfriend getaway.
Spa TherapyOntario spas offer the best of the best (all year round) - luxury, lots of great outdoor activities and vineyards with their doors flung open for wine tastings.
Get ready to follow your bliss with your gal pals, your mom or your sister. No matter the reason, is there anyone else who knows you better and can help you find that fearless mojo again?
Cobble Beach Resort, Owen Sound
Tucked away on the corner of Georgian Bay, Cobble Beach may be Ontario's best kept secret. There are only 10 rooms in the Nantucket-style inn, but it sits on 574 glorious acres of green space overlooking Georgian Bay. Golf is an obvious choice of activity here, but you'll also find loads of hiking trails, biking and a private beach with a fire pit.
But it's their girlfriend getaway packages that caught our attention. Choose their Spa Escape Package and add a mani/pedi to make a noodle of the day. We love that you can even indulge your inner foodie with a Culinary Cottage getaway - Spa and culinary delights - just add wine and we're there!

Inn on the Twenty, Jordan Ontario
At Inn on the Twenty, you'll find more than run of the mill wine tastings - prepare to be dipped wholesale into....wait for it...wine! Given their close relationship with Cave Spring Cellars (they're next door) you'll find a wide assortment of vinotheraputic services - also known as wine nirvana in our spa lingo.
I chose the Wine Country Body Scrub paired with a Wine Facial - a theme too tantalizing to pass up - and with wine as the main ingredient, how could it not be divine? Especially when there's more wine waiting back in your room.
Inn on the TwentyChoose a cottage suite so giggling into the late hours won't disturb neighbors. Vintage House and Jordan House sit aside the main buildings, a few minutes' walk from the main inn - and can still be tied into your spa bliss if you're traveling in a pack.
Prices for coordinating a Girl's getaway package varies depending on the time of week and time of year that you travel.

The Ben Miller Inn and Spa
What I love best about the Ben Miller Inn is how it fits in so well with the surrounding landscape. It's rustic, unassuming and offers great views of Ma Nature. The spa rooms are housed in the same building as the spa, but the dining room is a leisurely 10 minute walk along a cobblestone path. And though I visited in the winter, the walk to and from the dining room (even after copious amounts of wine) refreshed us.
We recommend a girl's getaway for a full 2 nights (because one is never enough) and add on one of their Spa and Group packages they can customize to get the most of your catch-up time with your gal pals.
I recommend the Daydream Escape at their Aveda Spa - 3 ½ hours of blissful pampering to your body and face.
