If you’re looking for a dreamy girls’ day trip up north, grab your besties and head toward the mountains.

One of my favorite spots to take a day trip is the Omni Mount Washington Resort and Spa in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. I know what you're thinking... Why would I want to visit a haunted hotel? Because it's rich in history and dripping in beautiful architecture. Not to mention, it has one of the best views of New Hampshire (in my opinion at least!)

And trust me, once you see the bright red roof against the mountain backdrop, you will understand the beauty that the hotel posesses.

A little history for you: The hotel opened in 1902 and was built with the help of more than 250 Italian craftsmen. It’s also a National Historic Landmark!

And honestly, you don’t need a packed itinerary here.

Visit the full-service spa before grabbing lunch at one of their MANY restaurants. They offer everything from manicures and pedicures to facials and body treatments.

And there is nothing more peaceful than sitting inside with a drink, looking out at the mountains and letting your brain finally quiet down. Add in some girl talk and I’m sold.

Not only do they have fireplaces inside you can cozy up to but they also have the outdoor fire pit. It's most enjoyable with a cocktail or hot chocolate. Plus, the mountains will take your breath away.
