Racks & Relax: The Fall Retreat

Racks & Relax
A Women’s Fall Escape · The Hudson Valley at Peak Foliage
The Escape
Two hours north of Manhattan, Inness sits on 220 hillside acres — farmhouse rooms, clay courts, a spa, and a kitchen that grows what it serves. In the third week of October, the whole valley turns gold. That’s when we arrive. All you book is your travel and your room. We handle the rest.
Ten women, one valley, and not a single decision to make after you arrive.
