Lakes Region sets a beautiful scene for a sweet romantic getaway

You might say the romantic atmosphere at the Center Harbor Inn on Lake Winnipesaukee begins with the views from your room’s private deck or patio: a shimmering lake, breathtaking mountains. Or maybe it’s relaxing together on the private sandy beach, or in the four-season hot tub with a harbor view that’s especially spectacular in the moonlight, or in the toasty-warm sauna. It could be that short stroll to the shops and restaurants in the quaint lake town of Center Harbor. Or maybe it’s hiking or kayaking together (or skiing together in the winter), going on a boat tour or on a scenic railway trip. Ask about the inn’s packages for romantic getaways, which include discounts for room rates and for local dining.

A relaxing environment, steps from a quiet bay, surrounded by soaring pines and the bluest of skies: Doesn’t that sound like the perfect romantic getaway, any season of the year? At the Margate on Winnipesaukee, right on picturesque Paugus Bay, you can spend your days on a private sandy beach, kayaking around the islands, relaxing in an indoor or outdoor pool, working out in the fitness center or enjoying a Gazebo Beach Bar cocktail by a campfire. In the winter, head out for great skiing, snowshoeing or skating. Hike through spectacular foliage in the fall, get in a some golf in the spring. Come back to the resort to spacious accommodations with amazing lake views and spectacular sunsets (and the occasional fireworks display).

A romantic escape in a cozy room or elegant suite in a lakefront inn: What are you waiting for? At the warm, inviting Wolfeboro Inn, you’ll wake to lake breezes. Enjoy relaxing on the beach or cruising the lake on board the inn’s paddle-wheeled boat. Or, arrange for an in-room couple’s massage. Stroll into the quaint lakeside village for shopping, dining and gallery-hopping. Visit a local winery or meadery or hike the area’s scenic trails. Ask about the inn’s Romance Package, featuring a chilled bottle of champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries in your room, as well as a dining voucher for a romantic dinner in the historic Wolfe’s Tavern. The Stay S’More Package includes s’mores by a cozy fireside and champagne in your room.

The picture-perfect Lakes Region has been hosting romantic getaways for years, and it’s no surprise why: The settings are lovely, the lodging options varied, the activities fun, the hospitality warm and inviting. Stay in a cozy country inn with a hot tub overlooking the lake, a day spa, or a suite with a fireplace and jetted tub. Or choose a chalet in the forest with lake access. Or a resort where you can ski, dine and watch evening fireworks. Enjoy live music, antiquing, tennis, golf, biking, kayaking and every winter sport you can think of. Dine by candle light, or take a picnic on a hike with spectacular fall foliage. Visit a winery, go horseback-riding or walk together over those covered bridges.
