It's February, and love is in the air! Vermont is a wonderful place to visit with the family, but it's also a great location to bring your significant other. Whether you're looking for a ski & stay weekend with your sweetie, or a weekday retreat with your spouse for some great food and relaxation, many places to stay in Vermont offer packages and specials just for the two of you (and most are more than happy to help you plan the perfect romantic vacation of your dreams if you ask). Here are just a few places we recommend taking your sweetheart:
The Grafton Inn is one of the oldest operating inns in America and a member of the National Register of Historic Places. The Inn offers 45 rooms, suites and guest houses with a unique combination of historic charm and all the modern amenities you need. Savor casual dining at the Phelps Barn Pub, or enjoy the candlelit ambiance of the Old Tavern Restaurant, with its focus on farm-to-table dining. If you’re seeking the perfect romantic getaway, the Grafton Inn offers a variety of options to help you experience the getaway you deserve.
The Inn at Weston offers 13 graciously appointed guestrooms in three buildings: the Carriage House, the Main Inn, and the Coleman House. Each location offers a luxurious respite designed to provide calm and comfort. The fine dining restaurant is open from June through New Year’s Eve, where you can enjoy an unforgettable three course dinner in the romantic dining room (or outside on the flower-filled deck and gazebo in the warmer months). Romantic Vermont getaways are perfect at this beautiful bed and breakfast, full of relaxation, service and romance.
The Essex Resort & Spa is an 18-acre property located just outside Burlington, VT, with 120 inviting rooms, two restaurants, a full-service Spa, Salon & Fitness Center, indoor & outdoor pools, and three public teaching kitchens in Cook Academy. Also known as Vermont's Culinary Resort, The Essex is the Burlington area's only AAA Four-Diamond hotel, and offers the only full-service spa in the Burlington, VT area. It's the perfect place to escape with your special someone for a romantic getaway.
The Red Clover Inn and Restaurant offers a unique experience in the mountains, where you can stay in the 1840s Inn, or the adjacent Carriage House, both privately located on a secluded, country road just minutes from Killington and Pico. If you're dreaming of taking your significant other to an authentic Vermont country inn or bed and breakfast, with one of the area's best farm-to-table restaurants right on the premises, the Red Clover Inn & Restaurant has it all.
The Inn at Weathersfield is a premier New England Culinary Inn with 12 en-suite guest rooms, fine dining restaurant, cooking classroom studio for non professional cooks, vegetable garden, and wedding amphitheater, all set on 21 beautiful wooded acres.

It's a great place to take your significant other for a relaxing, romantic getaway in Vermont.
The WilloughVale Inn, located on the shores of beautiful Lake Willoughby in northern Vermont, offers eleven unique guest rooms, four cozy cottages and four new lakeview cottages.
