Wanna know the best way to beat the winter blues? Start dreaming and scheming for your next romantic getaway. A warm, crackling fire. Billions of stars. Your person. What more do you need?
A massage.
A horseback ride to live out my wildest Outlander fantasy.
Wine. Gimme all the wine.
A very cozy bed.
Oohh. Mhmm. We hear you. We see you. You want romance. And we’ve got romance. With a luxury weekend getaway at Naturluxe & Stars, you are already well on your way to the perfect romantic weekend. Get ready to unplug, wind down, and connect more deeply with your partner than ever before. Check out our guide for taking the romance of your ultimate glamping getaway up a notch (or ten).
- Hike to a Waterfall- Standing before a waterfall provides a multi-sensory experience unlike any other. All that crashing water is spewing negative ions into the surrounding air, which when breathed, increases the flow of oxygen to your brain and releases serotonin and feelings of euphoria. It’s science! And we can’t think of a better, more romantic way to connect with your partner after a hike. There are a plethora of amazing hikes in the Finger Lakes region, most of which provide stunning views of waterfalls. You cannot come to Naturluxe & Stars without a visit to Watkins Glen State Park, where you will find several waterfalls, all of which will leave you spellbound.
- Spaaaaa – Massage therapy reduces stress, tension, and any aches and pains acquired from a challenging rim trail hike. Not only that, a good massage increases relaxation and can really, uh, set the mood. Follow up a day of hiking the gorges with a couples massage as part of your glamping package. Or, show your partner how much you care by learning some beginner massage techniques and giving them a great massage in the comfort of your gorgeous luxury tent.
- A Scenic Picnic – There is just something so charming and idyllic about spreading out a big blanket, lounging on a smattering of a few cozy pillows, sipping on rosé and noshing while taking in the sights and sounds of a forest clearing, wide open meadow, or babbling brook. None of which you will be hard-pressed to find in the vicinity of Naturluxe & Stars. We’d be happy to assist you in picking your ideal picnic spot or building the perfect picnic basket, or you can stop at a local winery to grab some bubbly and sandwiches to go.
- Up, up, and Away – If you want to take that picnic up a notch, a hot air balloon ride with
Southern Tier Balloon Tours is about as high as you can go. And talk about romantic. A just-before-sunrise or sunset sail overlooking the stunning glacier-carved landscape of the Finger Lakes region.
- Guided Horseback Rides – Let down your guard and let the gentle power and strength of a steed transport you down a trail through time and space, where you can connect with your partner, your horse, and the stunning nature surrounding you. Up the timeless romance factor by adding a guided horseback ride to your Naturluxe & Stars glamping experience.
- Starry Night Sky – Far away from the light pollution of the big cities, you will be mesmerized by the vastness of the inky-black sky and the billions of stars in your view. Stargaze right from the campfire, outside your tent, or take a nighttime stroll along our grounds. If you want a closer view, the Eileen Collins Observatory at SUNY Corning CC offers an assortment of telescopes for use in the observatory, all of which are free and open to the public. Is there anything more romantic than sharing a telescope while galaxy gazing?
- Kayaks & Paddleboards – Take in the sights of Seneca Lake with your sweetie or take a guided kayak or paddleboard tour of the southeast side of Seneca Lake past the Painted Rock Cliffs to picturesque Hector Falls. Paddle together in a tandem kayak or learn how to paddle board with lessons from Summit to Stream Adventures.
- Finger Lakes Wine Tour – To get the full Finger Lakes experience, you’ve got to hit the wine trail. There is nothing less romantic than trying to decide where to eat or who is going to drive back from the winery, so treat yourself and your partner to a guided tour so you both can sit back, relax, and enjoy the wines and flavors of the region while someone else takes the wheel and plans the itinerary.
- Disconnect so you can truly connect– Pack an SLR camera or borrow one for the weekend.
