Romantic weekend getaways

Whether you're looking to escape the city to a charming cottage in the mountains, an historic lakeside lodge or a hotel nestled in wine country, these accommodations across Washington provide an ideal atmosphere for a relaxing, romantic getaway.

EASTERN WASHINGTON
The Davenport Hotel (Spokane)

Should you decide to venture beyond the custom-made down bedding, walk-in marble shower and flat-screen TV in your guest room, you'll find a day spa, shops and several dining options all located within the hotel.

The Inn at Abeja (Walla Walla)

With only five lodging options on the 42 acres of property, you'll have to make reservations months ahead, but the pleasures of this quaint inn and winery will make your planning well worth it.

OLYMPIC PENINSULA
Alderbrook Resort and Spa (Union, Hood Canal)

Enjoy gorgeous views of Hood Canal and the Olympic Mountains at this relaxing resort and spa that manages to be both family-friendly and romantic.

Lake Quinault Lodge (Quinault)

A breathtaking lakeside setting is the main appeal of this historic and homey lodge.

Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort (Port Angeles)

If your idea of romance involves a secluded cabin surrounded by warm mineral water pools, then this resort in the heart of Washington's Olympic National Park is whispering your name.

PUGET SOUND
The Chrysalis Inn (Bellingham)

Located alongside Bellingham Bay, The Chrysalis Inn provides stunning Northwest views and plenty of romantic atmosphere in their luxurious spa and European wine bar.

The Heron Inn (La Conner)

Looking for an escape from the city? This small country inn features a champagne and wine bar, day spa and 11 guest rooms away from it all.

The Inn at Langley (Whidbey Island)

Each room at this elegant inn features a jetted bathtub, wood burning fireplace and a 180-degree waterfront view.

Rosario Resort (Orcas Island)

With 30 acres of waterfront, Rosario Resort -- built in 1909 as an opulent private residence by former Seattle mayor Robert Moran -- buzzes with boaters and sunbathers in summer, but don't expect much of a social scene in the fall and winter; the resort is pretty sleepy then.

Willows Lodge (Woodinville)

The warm interior, complete with huge fireplace, is so inviting you won't want to leave. But there are a few reasons why you should. First, Willows Lodge stands on a five-acre garden. Second, it houses two excellent restaurants: The Herbfarm and Barking Frog. Finally, you're in wine country. Check out nearby Columbia Winery and Chateau Ste. Michelle.

Woodmark Hotel & Spa (Kirkland)

There are many ways to enjoy a view of Lake Washington at the Woodmark. You can dine on the patio at Waters lakeside bistro, soak up the sun on the balcony of a premier room or tour Lake Washington on a kayak or aboard the hotel's boat. After enjoying those stellar views, close your eyes and relax at the Spa.

SOUTHWEST AND COLUMBIA GORGE
Bonneville Hot Springs Resort and Spa (North Bonneville)

Stay indoors and enjoy cozy rooms and a 12,000-square-foot day spa or explore the outdoors, where hiking, mountain biking, fishing, golf and dips in the hot spring pools are among the activities.

Cave B Inn at SageCliffe (Quincy)

Vineyards, orchards and a beautiful landscape set the scene for the fine wine, gourmet cuisine and luxurious accommodations you'll find at this intimate inn.

Skamania Lodge (Stevenson)

An 18-hole golf course, full service spa and 70 nearby waterfalls draw guests to this luxury lodge in the scenic Columbia River Gorge.

WASHINGTON CASCADES
Salish Lodge at Snoqualmie Falls (Snoqualmie)

Spend the weekend at this romantic lodge and indulge in spa treatments for two or pamper yourself with a 100-minute Ancient Thai massage.

Sun Mountain Lodge (Winthrop)

This 3,000-acre getaway for outdoors lovers is a ski resort in the winter, but spring through fall permit hiking, horseback riding, fly fishing, river rafting and more.
