my boyfriend and i are looking to take a vacation this winter and we would like to go to someplace wintery, like a mountain resort or lodge or something like that. we were thinking of someplace like Colorado/Wyoming/Montana, etc. (in the united states!) however, we don t know of any good places to go and searching online is not doing much good. we want to know of a place that it a little secluded and romantic but a place where there is still stuff to do that a couple can enjoy (hopefully a place with a hot tub also). we are not looking for a ski resort because we wont be doing any skiing while we are on vacation. maybe next time but this time we are just looking for a relaxing getaway. our budget isnt super cheap but we cant afford a $3000 a week place either. any help and suggestions would be great.
South Lake Tahoehttp://www.bluelaketahoe.com/Heavenly has a gondola ride.http://www.skiheavenly.com/lake-tahoe/la��The Sunday brunch at Harrah s Forest Buffet is one of the best I ve every been to. It s on the top floor and has a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains and lake.http://www.harrahslaketahoe.com/casinos/��The Vikingsholm Home Castle is an interesting tour.http://www.vikingsholm.com/tours.htmlEhrman Mansionhttp://www.tahoecountry.com/oldtimetahoe��Hike to Eagle Fallshttp://www.tripwiser.com/trip_thing_to_d��Take a riverboat cruise and dinner on the lakehttp://www.zephyrcove.com/cruises/index.��Sutter s Mill is day trip down U.S. 50. It s also a nice drive along the American River. It passes through Strawberry CA. which has a lodge that was a stagecoach stop.http://www.coloma.com/http://www.strawberrylodge.com/Virginia City is an interesting day trip. Made famous from the TV show Bonanza, it was the center of the Comstock Lode, the biggest silver strike in history. They have an old steam locomotive mining railroad you can ride and you can tour the actual mines. The city looks like it did in the late 1800 s, complete with wooden sidewalks, saloons, gambling halls, and boot hill.http://www.virginiacity-nv.org/info.aspx
I agree with the new england states , especially maine and vermont--if you look on craigslist/vacation rentals for maine there are some dirt cheap mountain cabins for rent--well dirt cheap is a relative term..and nowhere beats new england for romantic wintery vacation spots---you would have plenty to explore in vermont too
What about Maine, New Hampshire or Vermont? The east coast. Might be cheaper/er more reasonable.Ogunquit or Kenneybunk and Kenneybunkport Maine. Near the Kittery Outlets for shopping. NH...Jackson, Sunnapee Lake, Laconia, Meredith, etc etcVermont: Hop skip and a jump into Canada. Stowe Vermont. Good luck, Hope you find a place.
A few years ago I went to Jackson Hole, Wyoming and loved it! I just Googled Jackson Hole Cabin Rentals and the first website that popped up seemed to have pretty good prices. In Jackson Hole, you are a short drive from Yellowstone National Park which if you haven t been, I highly recommend. Good luck in your search and hope yall have a great time!
try checking out Waterton National park. It borders on Alberta Canada and the very top of Montana. There is lots of hotels, nice restaurants, sleigh rides, and amazing views!
Paradise, Mt. Rainier National Park...IF it is open.
I don t know about the States but up here in Canada I would suggest Banff/lake Louise,Alberta
