A nature lover's swoon spot. Luxury mid-century cabins, outdoor fire pits, fragrant Redwoods in absolute serene Big Sur beauty. Worth the splurge for the Big Sur Cabin to fall asleep to sounds of the river after a soak in the outdoor claw-foot soaking tubs. http://fathomaway.com/postcards/romance/most-romantic-hotels-us-west/
From the infinity pool overlooking the Pacific surrounded by Redwoods to the fact that they don't allow kids or visitors around the property. It's perfectly tranquil. Some ocean suites have their own hot tub sitting on the cliff. Oh, and no televisions. There's no need to leave the compound, but if you do, try Big Sur Bakery and Café for fresh pastries and breads as well as rock star pizzas. http://fathomaway.com/postcards/romance/most-romantic-hotels-us-west/
This is a modern design fanatic's dream come true: private villas in the middle of wine country. Return from a day at the vineyards to sip your purchases poolside. http://fathomaway.com/postcards/romance/most-romantic-hotels-us-west/
Cozy private cottages with secluded patios and outdoor showers. Breathtaking vineyard views at the infinity pool. Spa treatments take cues from wine country's harvest and terroir. The Boon Fly Cafe's hearty breakfasts and FARM's elegant Cali cuisine make it hard to leave the rolling property. http://fathomaway.com/postcards/romance/most-romantic-hotels-us-west/
Tucked away in the backwoods of beautiful Sonoma, the dreamy hotel has a fireplace in every room, fluffy feather beds, and huge soaking tubs. In the lobby, there are different kinds of homemade bath salts and soaps to squirrel away, and they hand you warm chocolate chip cookies and cold milk when you check in. Rent a car. The Michelin-starred restaurant is amazing and there are several low-key wineries within a short drive. Take the on-site wine class taught by the restaurant's sommelier. http://fathomaway.com/postcards/romance/most-romantic-hotels-us-west/
Wagon Wheel Room, an incredibly homey and imaginative villa that immediately transports you to another time. Red sandstone landscape panoramas. Masseuse on staff. Great short day-trip stopover if headed to Grand Canyon via Flagstaff. http://fathomaway.com/postcards/romance/most-romantic-hotels-us-west/
There’s little that’s truly romantic in the nation’s capital. But this quirky inn has so much Americana charm, it almost makes up for the lack everywhere else. Every room is different and some have shared baths. Room 26 has a grand piano, but book ahead because it's often used for events.
Tastefully appointed everything, smack in the middle of nowhere. Super private, homey, and, even when full, feels like you have the place to yourself. Individual cottages are decorated with the owner's incredible art collection. Hushed, darkened dining room is set up so that all parties face the fireplace and kitchen sticks to local goods even in the depths of winter. Meals are made to order according to a pre-arrival food questionnaire; you never see a menu. Go here instead of the nearby ski resorts: There are a half dozen downhill trails on the property and the most fun thing ever is that they cart you around the mountain on snowmobiles. Hit the furo (Japanese soaking tub) on a cold snowy night — a car service brings you to and from the tiny shack which is hidden in the woods. http://fathomaway.com/postcards/romance/most-romantic-hotels-us-northeast/
Only eleven rooms, each with its own design theme and decor. Of special note, Mountain and Ski rooms. The restaurant is outstanding, and the downstairs bar/game lounge is great, especially after a day on the slopes. The country store across the street is just as postcard-perfect — and serves great sandwiches. You're only a short drive from the Sugarbush and Mad River Glen ski areas. American Flatbread, a very special pizza restaurant found in a barn, is also nearby — and an absolute must. http://fathomaway.com/postcards/romance/most-romantic-hotels-us-northeast/
Gorgeous hotel overlooking the beach and the quaint, picturesque seaside village. Ideal for summertime seaside fun and indulging in pure Americana at its baronial best. The couple's room at the spa has a private hydro-soaking tub and deluge shower. http://fathomaway.com/postcards/romance/most-romantic-hotels-us-northeast/
