Retreat
to the Hilltop Ranch in beautiful Upstate New York for an exciting
6 night / 5 day get-a-way.
The Hilltop Ranch is offering an all inclusive package for women
to “Cowgirl Up” with their best friends, sisters,
daughters, or just come alone and enjoy the camaraderie as the
"girls" take over the ranch. This special package combines
nature’s simplicity with western informality and provides
you with a true ranch retreat to refuel your spirit and delight
your body.
The "Cowgirl
Up" is an all-inclusive woman's adventure retreat in
keeping with the simple yet elegant Hilltop Ranch style. Before
exploring many miles of scenic trails, your get-a-way starts with
a "Saddle Up" horsemanship clinic in the arena where
you’ll choose your horse and find your seat. Each and everyday
you can ride to your hearts delight with one of our expert wranglers
- or not - perhaps you just want to kick back, relax and let the
Ranch surround you.
In addition
to the trails and mountainous terrain, novice and experienced
riders will also enjoy working cattle and learning the fine skill
of individual and team sorting and penning in the arena. For the
more experienced rider, there is also an opportunity to try their
hand at barrel racing and roping. And, just when you think life
doesn’t get any better, you'll kick off your shoes for a
deep tissue massage followed by a couple hours of real pampering.
At the
end of the day, wind down and enjoy hors d'oeuvres and Happy Hour
followed by a down home Ranch style dinner that will absolutely
delight your palate. Then head out to the hot tub for more relaxation
under the stars – it’s up to you!
