Weekend Getaway ideas??

[BLACKJACK]

After a long hunting season it’s time to take the wife on a weekend getaway - I'm looking for ideas that you guys have done. We've done a few bed and breakfast places, been to a couple of resorts like the Quarterdeck, just a nice meal at a nice restaurant and night at a motel is good.

Let me hear what you've done that your wife enjoyed. Something within a 2-3 hour drive is preferable.

Thanks!!

It's farther than 2-3 hours but the best places are on the norh shore, up by grand maris, awsome up there. i take my wife every spring, and she still yells at me every time i try to get out on the ice.

Grandview Lodge on Gull, Nisswa MN. She can spend a couple hours in the spa and you can sneak away for some fishing. Then regroup for dinner together. A win / win for both of you.

i second Grandview, spa for her = fishing for you = happy getaway, not to mention everything they offer there is top notch

Dude...go to LUTESON! The wife and I got married at the Luteson Resort. Beautiful place, great food and the bar was awesome. In fact, when we were there they were mixing up some home-made blueberry mojitos. And get this: the bartender went out to pick FRESH mint from the garden and had a stockpile of blueberries they had harvested earlier in the year.

Easily the best mojito I've ever had (and I don't even really like mojitos...I prefer beer).

I don't know about Lutsen, we were there years ago, I thought the room was kind of shabby looking, smelled smokey, I wasn't impressed. Maybe they've cleaned it up??

If you like Duluth, I've got the spot for you.

We stayed at the Firelight Inn and had a wonderful time. The rooms are very cool, romantic and cozy, and the food is incredible. Unlike other B&B's, you don't have to eat as a group. Every morning, you get a knock on your door, and when you open it up, there's a huge picnic basket full of warm, freshly made food - just incredible.

Downstairs, there's a library with a huge fireplace, and a great supply of books and videos. They also have a coffee/hot chocolate/cider/tea station that you can go to 24 hours a day and make your own little snack, complete with fresh homemade cookies.

It's right in town, only 2.5 hours away and you have the whole town of Duluth within 15 minutes of the place. The caretakers are top-notch too - Really go out of their way to make sure you have the time that you want to have.

Just do a search for it and check it out. We've sent my sister and parents there for their anniversaries, and they have all come back raving about the place.
