Racks & Relax: The Fall Retreat — Day Guest
Racks & Raquets × Rack & Rally
Racks & Relax
For those already in the valley
The Short Version
Three days at Inness, fully hosted — mahjong, tennis or yoga, a farm-to-table cooking class, and every meal at one long table. If you live nearby or already have a place to stay, you can join us for all of it and skip the hotel entirely. You drive in each day, we handle the rest.
Everything the weekend is, minus the room you don’t need.
Three Days
Sample itinerary — subject to change, always in your favor.
Sunday · Oct 18
Arrival & the Golden Hour
Join us midday. A guided hike through the valley at golden hour, then a welcome dinner at our private table, then mahjong by the fire.
Arrive 12:00pm · depart after dinner
Monday · Oct 19
Rally, Rest, Cook
Breakfast, then tennis with the Inness pros or a yoga or pilates flow. The afternoon is yours — spa, the shops, or tiles and conversation. Early evening is the farm-to-table cooking class, and we eat what we made.
Arrive 9:00am · depart after dinner
Tuesday · Oct 20
One More Morning
Tennis or yoga, round two. Then a farewell brunch — one long table, the last hands of the weekend.
Arrive 9:00am · through the farewell brunch
The Details
What the $1,650 Covers

Rather Stay Over?
If you’d like a room at Inness for the weekend, we have a group rate and rooms are booked directly with the hotel. See the full retreat page for room types, rates, and how to reserve.

Good Questions
Do I get the full experience?
Yes. Every meal, every activity, the cooking class, the welcome bag. The only difference is where you sleep.
What time should I arrive each day?
Sunday at noon, Monday and Tuesday at 9:00am. Sunday and Monday you’re with us through dinner; Tuesday runs through the farewell brunch.
What is the mahjong like?
Relaxed, not a tournament. Experienced teachers from our host organizations and Hudson Valley Mahjong are on hand for guided play, and tiles are out all weekend beyond the scheduled sessions. Basic play knowledge is required.
And the tennis?
An instructional clinic with the Inness pros plus open court time. All levels welcome, and you can choose yoga or pilates instead. This isn’t a tennis-training intensive.
What if I decide I want a room after all?
Book through the full retreat page instead — it has the room types and our group rate. If you’ve already reserved a day-guest spot, just write to us and we’ll sort it out.
