Looking for a romantic getaway from an East Coast city? Here are the best romantic getaways in the Adirondacks for two. Escape to the mountains of the Adirondacks for a quiet, secluded retreat. A scenic mountain region in northern New York, the Adirondacks are the largest protected area in the contiguous United States. Nature-loving couples will appreciate the excellent skiing, hiking and paddling opportunities on unique romantic getaways & NY vacations. The area is perhaps best known for Lake Placid, which hosted the Winter Olympics twice. If you're coming from the New York or Boston metropolitan area, an equally charming place that's closer is Bolton Landing, a peaceful Adirondack community that has attracted writers, artists, musicians and couples seeking relaxation and romance since the early 19th century. A sunrise or sunset hike up nearby Pinnacle Mountain will reward you with wonderful views of Lake George. Don't miss a romantic dinner for two at Château on the Lake.
The Adirondacks offer spectacular, almost endless views, perfect for enjoying the mountains and water with your partner in privacy. Almost every couple can find something to love about the region, even beyond the views (and beyond each other, of course). Active, adventure-loving couples will love the many hiking and paddling options, or even more adventurous options such as zip-lining, kite-surfing or helicopter tours. Couples looking for more romantic things to do that are leisurely pace will appreciate the abundance of cozy cottages equipped with Jacuzzis, swimming pools, fireplaces and other high-end amenities. Couples interested in culture and dining will enjoy the vibrant craft and food scenes, and most can find something interesting in the rich history scattered among the Adirondack's many towns.
