Valentine’s Day is around the corner, and it’s time for Mom and Dad to plan a sitter and begin thinking about how to celebrate. Since hubby and I make the effort to take an overnight date once a month, we have plenty of ideas for you.

Here are four of our favorite places to escape as a couple.

Barnsley Resort, Adairsville

One of my favorite romantic escapes in Georgia is at Barnsley Resort. Impress your love with cozy cottage accommodations with fireplaces and private romantic dining options. The Valentine’s Weekend package includes chocolate truffles, four-course gourmet meal, breakfast each morning and $300 credit toward activities such as spa treatments, horseback riding or golf. Hubby and I enjoyed this package a few years ago, and I always think of it fondly.

The Lodge and Spa at Callaway Resort & Gardens, Pine Mountain

The Lodge and Spa at Callaway Resort & Gardens is a luxurious resort within Callaway Resort & Gardens. Our family visited in winter. We roamed the resort grounds, hiked and picnicked, lingered long hours in our spacious suite, and dined in-house. It was the perfect winter escape for us: relaxing, tranquil and peaceful. I love that they are offering a Valentine's Package that includes accommodations, dinner for two, turn down service with truffles and admission to the gardens.

Buckhead Atlanta

Buckhead is filled with shopping and restaurants that exude romance. To cap the night, try a stay at Mandarin Oriental, Atlanta – one of the sexiest hotels I’ve ever stayed in! 

Romantic Buckhead restaurant recommendations? Try King + Duke, Umi or local three, which has a Prix Fixe VDay menu.
