This is for all you men out there who are sweating the next major romantic event in your life, Valentine's Day. I am here to help solve this problem!
One bedroom waterfront cabin at Fairy Stone State Parkjust $77 per night
2 bedroom cabin with view of valley and mountains atNatural Tunnelis just$84 per night
Consider this, your choice:
1) A cookie-cutter tiny hotel-room at the "Hawly-day inn" near a noisy interstate with room doors slamming, TV's blasting, kids running up and down the corridors screaming, or…
2) A romantic cabin for two. A fireplace, rustic furniture, a candlelight dinner, and a view of the lake. Ducks paddling past, deer frolicking in the nearby woods, no TV, no PC, no kids.
Well guys, which did you choose? Your happiness depends on your answer. And remember, as the bumper sticker says "If Momma ain't happy ain't nobody happy!"
All cabins have linens and bath amenities, and all kitchenware provided
Let me convince you with some logistics, as I know most men like to think things out thoroughly unless they are totally stressed and just do the impulse buy thing. You can drive to one of our 35 Virginia State Parks and stay overnight or the weekend in one of our 260 climate-controlled cabins.
Bring supplies to make her a romantic candlelight dinner (never fear there is always a grocery store not too far in case you forget something). You can pack an overnight bag for her, or just give her a little notice so she can make some simple arrangements for this special getaway (this is preferred, but you can sneak in a favorite nighty). Now check out the awesome off-season rates at these suggested state parks:
- Claytor Lake State Park2 bedroom waterfront cabins are just $89 per night.
- Fairy Stone State Park1 bedroom waterfront cabins are just $77 per night.
- Natural Tunnel State Park2 bedroom view cabins are just $84 per night.
