If it's renewal and romance you seek, there's a getaway tucked in the mountains of western Pennsylvania that's calling for you. Located just 50 miles south of the hustle and bustle of Pittsburgh along the old National Road, the Summit Inn Resort sits high atop the Chestnut Ridge, providing panoramic views of the tree-covered Laurel Highlands.
Whether you're resting poolside or simply gazing at the untouched natural beauty that surrounds you from the century-old inn's trademark Great Porch, all of your worries will slip away, allowing you to concentrate your full attention on that special someone by your side. After your meal in the inn's elegant dining room, put on your walking shoes and take a romantic stroll along the one-mile wooded nature trail. Or tee it up together on the resort's nine-hole golf course, which is carved into the Summit's wooded environs.
For a more indulgent and luxurious romantic retreat, head to the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Farmington. Choose one of the resort's spa packages for your companion and you'll be in good stead (at least until you're back home and the garbage needs to be taken to the curb).
If golf is your mate's game, Nemacolin boasts the PGA tour-caliber Mystic Rock course.
Located near both resorts is Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural masterpiece, Fallingwater, which hosted a romantic rendezvous between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie last December. They've got nothing on you, right?
