Every couple’s idea of the perfect romantic getaway is different: exotic, elegant, rustic, secluded or adventurous. This year, because Valentine’s Day falls midweek, everyone (coupled up or not) can take advantage of the many special packages at Virginia resorts that run on most weekends in February, making it a great time for a mid-winter break:
If you want to curl up in front of a cozy fire with a great bottle of Virginia wine and your sweetie, Cardinal Springs Guest House and Farm (www.cardinalspringsfarm.com) has a two-night package that includes the bottle of wine, as well as a $50 gift certificate for the Thornton River Grille. Follow your moonlight strolls or serene mountain hikes on the 130-acre farm with a special in-room massage for two (from $465 per couple; additional fee for massage).
You might think staying in a tree house a little too “Me Tarzan, You Jane”, but the Golden Eagle Tree House at Primland (www.primland.com) will change your mind in a hurry. Set in the limbs of one of the oldest oak trees on the resort, it was designed and fabricated in France by the preeminent architectural firm La Cabane Perchée. Add Frette robes and other top-of-the-line amenities to your million dollar view from the 2,700-foot-high private deck, and you may want to do the jungle yell. With a world-class golf course and spa, the Lodge has one- and two-night Sweetheart Packages that include Champagne and chocolates. Enjoy hunting, shooting, trail riding, ATVs or stargazing at the resort’s own observatory (from $624).
Cupid is fluttering around the Holladay House Bed & Breakfast (www.holladayhousebandb.com ) in Orange for the next few weeks. With just three traditional guest rooms, a romantic overnight includes a bottle of Virginia wine, a homemade dark chocolate lava cake or a fruit and cheese tray, and a gift certificate for dinner at a nearby restaurant (from $299).
Wine and dine the one you love at Arcady Vineyard Bed & Breakfast in Charlottesville (www.arcadyvineyard.com), the only bed and breakfast in the region with a working vineyard. The special package includes two nights in a junior suite with a whirlpool tub big enough for two, a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine, a full breakfast each morning, and a wine tasting, as well as a personal tour of the winery (from $800).
Cuddle up in an authentic timber frame cabin in the mountains near Luray at Shadow Mountain Cabin Escape (www.shadowmountainescape.com). Explore the 15 secluded acres filled with wildlife and stunning vistas, or relax in the Observation Tower with a bottle of wine. The two-night package includes a complimentary welcome basket (from $395).
