The temperatures all over the country are dipping, and the cozy fires and cuddly blankets of winter might make you eager to get away for a romantic weekend with your sweetie. Whether you’re looking for a random weekend away in January or looking forward to Valentine’s Day weekend, Vermont offers several places for you to consider. Rustic, quaint and charming are words that could be used to describe many Vermont vacation getaways, and these all contribute to the romantic atmosphere of the state in general. Here are some resorts to consider if you’re hoping for a special getaway for two:
- Topnotch Resort & Spa in Stowe Nestled in the valley of the Green Mountains, the Topnotch Resort offers you exquisite views along with the amenities that will make your weekend getaway special. Enjoy a relaxing couple’s massage followed by time with your sweetheart in front of the fireplace, sipping champagne and indulging in quiet conversation. Bundle up for a carriage ride, or enjoy a romantic dinner at Norma’s Restaurant. The resort has packages available that include ski lift tickets, if you’d like to spend some time in the great outdoors before warming up in front of the fire.
- Rabbit Hill Inn in Lower Waterford With just 19 individually decorated rooms that were designed with romance in mind, you’re sure to be able to put the cares of the world at rest and just focus on each other. There are no televisions or telephones at this luxurious but quaint bed & breakfast, but if you need something to do, you’ll enjoy simple pastimes like puzzles, afternoon tea and ten acres to explore. Rabbit Hill won a Reader’s Choice award from Conde Nast in 2012.
- The Inn at Sawmill Farm in West Dover If you love the charm and character of old Vermont, then you will love the Inn at Sawmill Farm. This country inn resides in a restored barn which was built in 1770. Spend your days skiing, snowboarding or horseback riding, enjoy excellent Italian cuisine at Nonna’s restaurant, and spend your nights snuggling in one of the Inn’s 21 guest rooms, each with it’s own private bath. They also offer a special romantic winter getaway package, which includes massages, a cottage with a wood-burning fireplace and a jetted tub, a sleigh ride for two, and little extras like bubbles, candles, champagne and a fruit and cheese tray.
If you’re within driving distance to Vermont, consider getting away with your special someone this winter. The chill in the air is bound to put you in the mood for romance, and the gorgeous New England winter views will make it all the more special.
