I have a friend that also plays Minecraft. She lives a fair bit away from me and I am wondering how to start a private server where ONLY she can join. If any more information is needed please comment and ask. I'm all ears.

Step 1
First of all, you need to set up a normal Minecraft server. A good guide on this can be found here.
For troubleshooting, please refer to an already existing thread: here.
In addtion to both @jofri and @RimaNari, you could also choose another way of setting up a server like Minecraft Realms.
Step 2
Now, assuming that this was no problem for you we can go on and make sure only you and your friend can access this server.
/whitelist on
/whitelist add [playername]
/whitelist reload
Now only players whom are white listed on your server will be able to connect!
