It has a lakeside location, a wrap-around deck and a farmhouse kitchen. Visitors can take advantage of Harriman Reservoir’s boating, swimming and fishing. Mount Snow is the closest ski resort, for those who are inclined to hit the slopes, and Wilmington itself has a historic downtown with lots of restaurants and shopping. Grab a bite at The Maple Leaf Tavern, a casual eatery in the heart of Wilmington.

The back-to-basics rental is also close to Bryce National Park and the north rim of the Grand Canyon, and has several hiking trails accessible from its doorstep. Enjoy the fire pit on a clear night, or venture down the road to take advantage of the amenities at Zion Ponderosa Resort, which has bike rentals, horseback riding and more. This is best for couples who enjoy roughing it as the bathhouse is located away from the cabin itself and hot water is limited. Still, nothing better than some time outdoors to rekindle the romance.

The remote area is known for its star-gazing—so romantic—and there’s even an outdoor shower in you want to get frisky. The area is located between Big Bear and Joshua Tree, but you’ll likely want to spend your time enjoying the intimate setting rather than driving around. For provisions, head to Pioneertown, which boasts iconic restaurant and music venue Pappy and Harriet’s.

Start your days with breakfast on the porch observing the wildlife—deer, porcupines and black squirrels are known to make an appearance. Then, spend the day cruising down the Paul Bunyan Scenic Byway or checking out the numerous festivals held throughout the year.
