Bachelorette Weekend(without the bar crawl)
We came up with three themed weekends to help you say goodbye to singledom.
TREAT YO' SELF
Getting Started
Check in to luxe rooms at Le Meridien Columbus, The Joseph, then head to Studio Rouge for a private party that teaches you a flirty floor routine, how to spin on a pole or the finer points of handling a feather boa. Stop by Max the Salon in the Short North on your way back for a rewarding mani/pedi.

Grab a Bite
Fully indulge with an artisan dinner and drinks at The Guild House. Go ahead and order that second (or third) bottle of wine—your rooms are just upstairs.

The Morning After
Order room service for a sumptuous breakfast, then pop over to The Joseph's luxurious spa suites for a massage or facial. Don't forget to schedule a late checkout—you'll want it!
OUTDOOR ADVENTURES
Getting Started
Set up base camp at one of Valley View Cabins' well-appointed options. (They all come with a hot tub, fire pit and grill.) Head to Hocking Hills State Park for a hike at Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Cantwell Cliffs, Rock House or Conkle's Hollow. In the afternoon, rent canoes from Hocking Hills Canoe Livery and paddle down the Hocking River.

Grab some down-home cooking at Millstone BBQ. All of the restaurant's meats are smoked on-site for at least 15 hours to ensure a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

The Morning After
Get your adrenaline rushing with a zip line course at Hocking Hills Canopy Tours. Itching for more? Clear Creek Nature Preserve is the state's largest and offers nine trails with varying degrees of difficulty.

FOODIE HEAVEN
Getting Started
With an early afternoon check-in time at the Hilton Columbus Downtown, you'll be in prime position for happy hour at the hotel's Gallerie Bar and Bistro. Enjoy craft cocktails and a charcuterie plate or cheese board, but don't fill up—there's lots to nosh on ahead.

Grab a Bite
Gather for participatory dining at The Kitchen to prepare a full six-recipe meal of your choosing before digging in. After dinner, head to Wine on High for a wine tasting in the venue's loft. If you find your stomach grumbling again, you can order appetizers from the winery's brother restaurant, Hubbard Grille.

The Morning After
Walk next door to the North Market for breakfast—Taste of Belgium, Pistacia Vera, Destination Donuts and Stauf's Coffee Roasters are all great choices—before doing a little ingredient shopping, using the weekend as inspiration to make some fabulous meals at home.
