Start your Girls' Weekend in Michigan's Thumb with a Barn Quilt Tour
Begin your girls’ trip with a scenic drive to discover the Thumb’s barn quilts.
These colorful quilt designs turn a country drive into a little treasure hunt. Make the tour part of the fun: choose your favorite patterns, enjoy the rural scenery, and leave time for photographs from safe, public viewing spots.
You don’t need to rush through as many stops as possible. Pick a manageable route and enjoy the drive together. The conversations between stops might become your favorite part.
For friends who love barns, country roads, photography, and small-town exploring, a Michigan Thumb barn quilt tour is a lovely way to start the weekend.
Gather for Gourmet Pizza at Beagio’s in Kingston
After a day of exploring, head to Beagio’s in Kingston for dinner.
Gourmet pizza makes an easy, relaxed meal for a girls’ getaway. Order a few to share, compare your favorite barn quilts, and enjoy some time around the table before heading back to your Airbnb.
Keeping dinner in Kingston also brings you back toward your home base for the evening’s creative fun.
Head Back to a Cozy Countryside Airbnb
There’s something especially inviting about ending a day on the road somewhere comfortable.
Choose a countryside Airbnb in Kingston with enough room for your group to relax and gather. Change into your comfy clothes, put out the snacks, turn on a favorite playlist, and settle in for a night together.
The evening doesn’t need a packed schedule. A comfortable place, your favorite people, and something fun to make are plenty.
Make Something Memorable With a Stacked Glass Art Class
Bring a creative finish to your girls’ weekend with a stacked glass art class planned as part of your Airbnb evening.
Combine plates, cups, bowls, and glass pieces into a decorative creation with its own personality. Go for vintage florals, clear glass sparkle, colorful patterns, or a little farmhouse charm.
The fun is watching everyone’s ideas come together. One friend carefully coordinates every piece. Another mixes patterns you never would have thought to pair. Everyone ends up with something different—and a story behind it.
The photos here offer a little inspiration: patterned cups become unexpected layers, clear glass adds height and texture, and decorative plates bring the whole piece together.
Coordinate the class and its location with Grow Your Town before booking your weekend so your group’s plans fit together.
