Romantic Retreat at Cliff’s House Cabin

By Jess LaPolla

Are you looking to plan the perfect romantic weekend getaway for you and your significant other? Do you both love mountain views, being surrounded by nature, and cozy cabin vibes? Consider staying at Cliff’s House Cabin in Elkton, VA.


This uniquely-designed cabin sits west of Shenandoah National Park. Built in 1978 by long-time PATC member Cliff Firestone, the two-story home has all the modern amenities you need, including electricity, running water, and a fully functional kitchen. There is baseboard heating in the bathroom, plus a wood-burning stove for extra warmth during those chilly winter months.


Curl up next to the fire your first night here and spend the next day hiking or exploring. There are several trails accessible on the property; simply step outside where nature awaits. If you’re looking for more of an adventure, the cabin is just a short drive to Shenandoah National Park, where you will find hiking trails for all skill levels. If your partner isn’t into cardio, settle for a drive on the scenic Skyline Drive and take in the sights from the comfort of your car.


Also nearby are the Grand Caverns, where you can embark on a walking or spelunking tour or hike.

Enjoy your meals on the expansive second floor deck of the cabin while breathing in the forest around you. If you’re feeling cooped up, head into town for a cozy Italian diner at Ciro’s Italian Eatery or grab a pint at Elkton Brewing Co. Whatever you and your boo decide to do, we’re sure you’ll have a great time. For more information on Cliff’s House and to book your stay, visit our website.

 

Though Cliff’s House is pretty darn cute by itself, here are a few tips to make your weekend more romantic:


·      Don’t skimp on bringing comfortable pillows, sheets, and blankets.

·      Bring your partner’s favorite wine or beverage and enjoy a glass while stargazing.

·      Bring a Bluetooth speaker for music.

·      Download movies on your laptop to have a cozy movie night together (don’t forget the snacks).
