Romantic Getaway

[chillincarp870]

Hello,

I am looking into going somewhere up north with my girlfriend. I am looking for a romantic suite type of room for just us two. Please let me know if you have been to or recommend any places. Thank you so much

There are some great resorts out there, and I certainly can't claim to have been to them all, but we just came back from a trip to Appeldoorn's Sunset Bay resort on Mille Lacs and it was beautiful. The cabin we stayed in is lovely.

Up North is a pretty big place. Is there any specific area or activity that you both would enjoy? The north shore is worth checking out, maybe Duluth or Grand Marais, or one of the many inns or bed and breakfasts along it.

After spending a lot of time in all parts of northern MN, I have to come down in favor of the North Shore of Lake Superior. It's like going to the seashore right here in Minnesota.

Are you looking for something cozy and rustic, or fancy/upscale? There are tons of options either way stretching from Two Harbors to Grand Portage. I really prefer the area between Silver Bay and Grand Marais overall. Some great state parks, hiking trails and North Shore rivers add to the romance if you want to be outside.

If it's windy and cold, which happens now and then along the shore, a night inside next to the fireplace isn't a bad deal, either.
