Bri Mitchell shares her insights on how escaping to Elmhirst’s Resort makes for the perfect getaway, no matter the time of year. It’s an especially lovely place for a little romantic reconnection in the region.
My partner, Chris, and I absolutely love every opportunity we have to return to Peterborough & the Kawarthas, and Elmhirst’s Resort is a big part of that. From opportunities to disconnect,
unwind, relax and reconnect, there is no shortage of reasons for why Elmhirst’s makes the perfect romantic getaway. While it’s an amazing getaway destination all year long, the peace and quiet at Elmhirst’s during the fall, winter and spring months makes it such a wonderful place to go with your partner. You can even take advantage of many of the exciting getaway packages they offer in their off-season months.
Here’s a list of all of the reasons you should take a romantic getaway to Elmhirst’s in the off-season!
It’s the perfect place for a secluded retreat in the heart of natural surroundings
Perched on the shores of Rice Lake, although this resort is just that—a resort—there are so many opportunities to find peace and quiet surrounded by nature here. The resort’s
grounds are covered with and surrounded by working farms, lush forests, beautiful walking trails, and captivating scenery. Top that off with an abundance of adorable farm animals that you can see around the property, you’ll truly feel lifted away from the hustle and bustle of the every day with your partner here.
It offers completely private accommodations for you and your partner
Elmhirst’s Resort does an excellent job of combining the warmth and community feel of staying at a resort with the secluded and private experience of staying in your own cabin. Whether you stay in some of their newly renovated cottages, or one of their more rustic ones, your experience will truly feel like a private getaway. Add that every morning you’ll wake up to the stunning views of the sun rising over Rice Lake, and that makes for an extra special and intimate experience together.
You can leave the cooking and the meal planning to the experts, and focus on taking the time to reconnect
As wonderful as private cottage getaways can be, they often include a little more planning than you might be bargaining for—planning which groceries to pick up, what meals to make, and having to clean up after each meal, too. The true magic of Elmhirst’s is that you still get the feeling of being at your own private cabin, with very little to worry about in the way of cooking and cleaning. While each cabin has a fully-stocked kitchen, The Landing offers all of the dining options you need on a getaway. Between the Hearthside Dining Room and The Wild Blue Yonder Pub and Patio, delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner options are all available to you any time of day.
There are plenty of opportunities to celebrate each other on a romantic retreat at Elmhirst’s
Whether you’re looking to cozy up by the fire in your cabin or outside of it, toast to each other under the stars, or take a canoe ride on the water together, there are so many calming and relaxing moments and activities you can take advantage of on the resort. On top of having both an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, sauna and options for wine tastings, there are too many romantic activities to count at Elmhirst’s.
Indulge in the many spa treatments together at Elmhirst’s
Not only are the activities at Elmhirst’s perfect for a romantic escape, but The Spa at Elmhirst’s presents the perfect opportunity to slow down and relax in the moment.
