Romance in the Country

knapik — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:00:50 +0000

There is nothing more relaxing, more private, more romantic than time spent together in a rural countryside. No traffic, no noise, no neon signs to distract. Conversations are uninterrupted, unhurried, and uninhibited. It’s even better if the countryside offers spledid, pastoral scenery. The southwest corner of Wisconsin offers the beauty of the Driftless Area. There are thousands of square miles of rural landscape. Steep, forested hillsides begin in peaceful valleys and end on rugged ridgetops. Trout filled streams flow into a dozen different rivers and offer secluded waterscapes in which the muted sound of running water soothes the soul.

The Driftless Area offers beautiful rural bed and breakfasts, places to call home for a couple of days while enjoying your loved one’s company. Curl up to your own fireplace and soak in a hot whirlpool tub. Be pampered at breafast with unique country cuisine prepared for just you, not for a noisy room full of diners.

If you choose your lodging wisely, you can hike right outside your door. Whether it’s snowshoeing in the winter months, or hiking down private forested trails in the warmer weather. You may be dazzled by a palette of gaudy woodland wildflowers or serenaded by flock of early summer songbirds.

Most B&Bs offer lovely patio areas and some even offer large ponds with private gazebos and a babbling waterfall. Bring your loved one to the country. Relax, talk, feast you senses on all the beauty that surrounds you.

Wisconsin Romantic Getaway

In Southwest Wisconsin the Inn at Lonesome Hollow offers quiet rural romantic getaways that build from the rugged landscape of the Driftless Area. Imagine an elegant B&B surrounded not by busy streets, traffic lights, and noisy neighborhoods, but by 300 ft tall hills and 160 acres of private woodland.

Inn at Lonesome Hollow

The Getaway: Enter the Driftless Area, a part of the midwest that offers constant dramatic landscapes, hundreds of cold water streams, and thousands of acres of forest that surround small family farms. Enter a geography that is very different from the cities and flat plains of the upper midwest. Enter a quiet natural setting in which a couple may find abundant solitude and ”down time”.

Backwaters of the Kickapoo River

The Romance: What awaits you is a beautiful modern home set on a hillside and backed by deciduous forest; large king or queen beds; a warm gas fireplace; a two person whirlpool tub; comfy robes; delicious hot breakfasts; outdoor evening fires complete with hot chocolate; miles of private hiking trails; a sky so black at night that you will never, ever be able to count the stars; intimate, quiet time that is so difficult to find in your normal life.

The Pine Haven Room

Drive the beautiful hills of Southwest Wisconsin; drive along the Mississippi River, or the Wisconsin River, or the ever meandering Kickapoo River. Dine at small rural restaurants, a folksy organic cafe, or a chic but informal restaurant located in a historic building. Have a glass of wine at a local vineyard or a glass of beer at a superb brew pub.

We think this is a romantic getaway that you’ll want to return to time and time again.
