RECOMMENDED DESTINATIONS FOR ROMANTIC RETREATS

www.leithhall.com. Leith Hall is a charming and quaint Victorian bed and breakfast in Cape May, NJ. The owners, Elan and Susan, are sweet and very accommodating. Each room is uniquely decorated with authentic antiques and unusual collectibles (look closely at Elan and Susan's old family photos). Our room had a view of the ocean and when we opened the windows we got the breeze from the beach and heard the waves breaking. Leith Hall is ideally located 1 block from the beach/boardwalk and 2 blocks from main street which is lined with privately owned shops and restaurants. Everything is walking distance from Leith Hall. After we parked our car shortly after arriving, we didn't use it again until we checked-out. Now that's a retreat!

www.hendersonswharf.com/inn/. Henderson's Wharf is a boutique hotel on the harbor tucked away on a quiet street near downtown Baltimore. It's also a short walk to Fells Point, a very up-and-coming area in Baltimore. The hotel itself is perfect for a romantic getaway. The rooms are finely decorated including exposed brick walls, harbor views, and a snack bar. The hotel serves a complimentary breakfast with loads of delicious fresh fruit. I highly recommend Henderson's Wharf.

http://www.westwyndfarminn.com/. The Inn at WestWynd Farm is a charming and luxurious country bed and breakfast located a few minutes from Hershey Park in Hershey, PA. The inn is situated on a 26 acre farm. Just a short walk from our cottage were horses and goats to roaming in the sprawling fields. It's a beautiful place. There are numerous rooms in the main house; all decorated nicely. Each guest has access to the large common areas also which include sitting rooms, fireplace, snacks, TV/DVD, etc. My wife and I stayed in the cottage which is set just off the main house and included a full kitchen, dinning room, and loft bedroom. It's very nice. We had a great trip and recommend both the inn and the area.
