Away with Romance
I think it is quite safe to say, we are over being at home all the time. I think even introverts would agree on that to some extent. Valentine’s Day is usually littered with fancy dinner dates and broken hearts club outings, but this year is obviously lending itself to more creative adventures. For all of you looking to get out of town on a romantic rendezvous or something different, here are some suggestions.
Primland Luxury Mountain Resort
Meadows of Dan, VA
If you’ve got the money to spend time with your honey, this is well worth it. Secluded with the Blue Ridge as your backdrop, this getaway is privately delicious. You can rent a treehouse, luxury cabin, or cottage. There’s plenty to do here as well. From horseback riding to an ATV adventure you and your partner will relive those honeymoon days.
Cabin in Fancy Gap, VA atop the Blue Ridge Mountains
Mountains, Lakes, Rivers, and Beaches Oh My!
One thing I’ve learned during Covid is that exploring Virginia has been the highlight of it all and cabin lodging is not only romantic, but also serene, more importantly it doesn’t have to be beaucoup expensive. Why not stay in someone else’s home for a change. There are so many beautiful lake houses and rustic cabins surrounded by nature and beautiful scenery, how could one not find the romance in that?! Check out Holiday Homes for availability.
Book a Personal Chef
Want a five course meal and restaurant feel? Book a personal chef for the occasion and you never have to worry about listening to Karen complain about her steak not being well done.
Book a Room at The Jefferson Hotel
Go crazy and stay in RVA at The Jefferson. Premier packages are available for you and your honey to lounge, dine, and bed in luxury.
Kick it at Dover Hall
This place is amazing and for a unique stay with the utmost in beautiful lodging and grounds book a room at Dover Hall and partake in their V-Day dining experience.
Cheap Date RVA
RVA is the best wingman! If. you are looking to treat your sweet, but need not to spend that entire stimulus check, start the day off with grabbing some local coffee and pastries, head to Tiffany & Co (yes, a la Holly and Paul) cue Moon River on the phone. After, head over to Forest Hill Park or Hollywood Cemetery for a nice stroll. If it’s too wintry outside, get over to the VMFA and peruse the art while playing hide and seek with your person. Dine for brunch at Amuse and enjoy the view and the mimosas! Time for a nap? Yes, head over to your RVA AirBNB equipped with indoor fireplace to light the mood up to romantic, play that game of chess or Scrabble you never have time for and don’t forget to order the chocolates from Chocolate by Kelly! Have dinner delivered or picked up and dine by candlelight. DO NOT use your phones during your mini dates unless you are taking photos! On Monday you’ll feel relaxed, loved, and cared for by your city.
