Luxury cottage resorts in Washington can’t be beat when planning the perfect girlfriend getaway. The resorts on this list give you the best of both worlds: off the beaten path and luxury amenities. When I plan a girls getaway I like to mix unique activities, experiences and outdoor time with luxury spa treatments and fine dining. Washington offers stunning locations and has some of the best wine in the world (I am biased as it is my home state).
Lone Point Cellars
Picture this, stunning views of the Columbia River and vineyards stretching as far as the eye can see from your sleek modern cottage.

Don’t stay up too late because the sunrise over the river is worth getting up for.

Skamania Lodge
The soaring ceilings and massive stone fireplace in the lobby of the Skamania Lodge remind one of national park lodges such as the Old Faithful Inn. For a truly unique girls trip stay “Away in the Woods” at one of their Treehouses. Make sure to book one of the two new treehouses which soar to 40 feet into towering Douglas Fir trees. The increased height provides even more stunning views of the old growth forest and the Cascade Mountains.

Accommodations are on the rustic side but so worth it for the location. Lake Crescent is so pristine and clear you can see the bottom from the dock.

Driving along State Road 109 along the Washington coast, its sleepy small towns and old hotels and beach resorts where generations have stayed. Suddenly the speed limit drops to 25 mph and you enter a luxury community that just seems to pop up in the middle of nowhere. Seabrook stuns with its beautiful architecture. Girls will have plenty of space in these gorgeous cottages. Park your car once and bike or stroll during your visit. Picture small town America with a luxurious twist.
