With Valentine’s Day around the corner, there are activities and places in the region that make perfect romantic getaways. Here’s a sampling…:
Lake Pointe Inn, bed & breakfast mountain retreat in McHenry, Md., on the shore of Deep Creek Lake. Originally an 1880s farmhouse, the place has been modernized and renovated to include 10 guest rooms.
There’s plenty of pampering, with a massage room (hot stone and Swedish massage and reflexology), steam shower and sauna. Complimentary breakfast will fill you for the rest of the day.
The inn offers some romantic touches:
– Champagne package with champagne, Godiva chocolates and two Lake Pointe Inn champagne glasses ($65).
– Champagne with two Lake Pointe Inn champagne glasses ($55).
– Wine package with bottle of red or white wine served with wine crackers, paired with two Lake Pointe Inn wine goblets ($60).
– Red silk rose petal sprinkling in the room ($20).
The inn is at 174 Lake Pointe Drive, McHenry, Md. 21541. Deepcreekinns.com; 1-800-523-5253.
