During March 2024, the air was still chilly in New York City. With warm weather just around the corner, it was a good time to start thinking ahead and get a girls trip on the calendar to dream about as summer slowly approached. My parameters were pretty simple: I wanted to go somewhere within driving distance of Manhattan, with a campy atmosphere, and that would be a guaranteed great time regardless of the weather (though hopes were high for a sunny weekend). My friends and I landed on the Wood Hunter Home, the perfect tranquil oasis packed with activities in the picturesque mountains right outside of Woodstock.
