Thinking of a romantic getaway in a magical destination? Looking for Hocking Hills cabins and resorts? At Glenlaurel, we’ll help you get the ideas rolling with a romantic weekend itinerary in Hocking Hills!
Friday
Check into your luxury accommodations, choose a room, suite, croft, or cottage, and get settled for a weekend of romance! You could set the mood early by booking the romance package to surprise your sweetheart with artisan chocolates and roses in your room upon arrival.
After getting comfortable in your room, make your way to the Manor House dining room for a candlelit dinner that will make you fall in love with both the food and your partner all over again. A delectable six-course meal awaits, so save those chocolates for later—there’s a romantic dinner to enjoy first.
If you’re not too tired after your day of traveling, head outside to enjoy the use of our bonfire pit or bring a blanket to lay out for stargazing, where nature will put on a show for you instead of the TV tonight.
Saturday
Rise and shine, lovebirds! Breakfast is hot and ready for you. Enjoy a fresh three-course breakfast in our Glasgow or St. Andrews dining room, or outside if the weather permits. If you’re looking for indulgence and a little exclusivity for your breakfast, you may order your breakfast boxed to take back to your wee accommodation so that you can enjoy breakfast in bed.
After breakfast, you’re taking your love to the skies with a scenic air tour! It’s recommended not to overdo it at breakfast with this activity, but you should have some food in your tummy before you fly. This is a great way to see our beautiful area and get a bird’s eye view of our grounds.
This afternoon, you’re going to play up the woodsy theme and enjoy a gourmet picnic lunch for two! Enjoy some privacy on our spacious grounds as you and your loved one reconnect with each other and nature. You may want to hunt down one of our hammocks on the grounds for a little rest and relaxation together.
After lunch, you’ll keep your feet on the ground, but you two are off to explore our hiking trails or pay a visit to the Hocking Hills, an Ohio geological anomaly. The rushing water will remind you of the rush you felt when you first met your partner! Enjoy a romantic moment in this picturesque attraction.
Or, if hiking isn’t your preferred way to see the outdoors, try a romantic horseback ride where you’ll be delighted with the views.
That night, head to the Loch Ness Pub for our nightly social hour at 5 p.m. Enjoy a glass of wine or single malt with your partner as you meet with other guests. The social hour precedes dinner service and consists of six courses during the week and seven courses on Saturday night!
Sunday
Sundays are a relaxing day around Glenlaurel, but you will need to make your way out of bed as your massage therapists arrive for your back-to-back one-hour couples massage. Start your day with a light breakfast before your massage, or indulge in a relaxing meal afterward as your therapist works out any lingering tension.
After a relaxing morning, you’re out to explore our nearby wineries. Many of these wineries are family-owned and operated and produce some of Ohio’s finest wines. Have fun with your loved one as you sip new varietals and perhaps find a bottle or two you both love to bring home with you!
Head back to Glenlaurel for a romantic dinner and end the night sipping your newfound wine around the bonfire before retiring to your room for a good night’s rest prior to your departure the next morning.
