If You Like … Hot Springs
Tucked in a remote corner of southwest Colorado, Dunton Hot Springs Resort is set in a restored ghost town comprised of 13 hand-built, exquisitely furnished log cabins; a saloon and dance hall; library and bathhouse. Book the Well House cabin to have your own private hot spring inside, or spend hours soaking in the waters of the five others on-site. Options include under the stars at the source of the springs and out on the river at Christoph’s spring.
Perched on the banks of the San Juan River in Pagosa Springs, The Springs Resort is home to the world’s deepest geothermal hot spring, featuring 23 different pools of varying temperatures with serene names like Tranquility and Serendipity. The Relaxation Terrace is an adults-only haven with five pools, a waterfall, fire pit and roman shower. For your stay, the resort offers a collection of Signature Suites, including The “O,” where Oprah herself was a guest — outfitted with a hot tub, private sauna and large balcony.

If You Like … Wining & Dining
Synonymous with glamour is Aspen’s The Little Nell, a Forbes Five-Star, AAA Five-Diamond hotel, with Aspen Mountain’s only ski-in/ski-out access. In fact, a Ski Concierge team handles everything from boot warming to tune-ups and equipment storage to arranging lessons, so you’ll have more time to spend with your honey. When it’s time to indulge in the impressive culinary offerings, Element 47 is a showstopper. But for an ultra-exclusive meal, book a private wine-cellar dinner for two in the Red Light Lounge, complete with your own chef and sommelier for the six-course dinner and custom wine pairing.
Blissfully removed on the eastern plains in Stratton, Claremont Inn & Winery affords a quiet respite for relaxation. Choose from one of 10 luxurious guest rooms, where you can enjoy a country breakfast in bed each morning. With a small-batch winery on-site, you’ll have the chance to sip 28 different varietals or even create your own bottle. Plus, a Cooking Weekend package combines a two-night stay with a hands-on cooking lesson. Prepare a gourmet dinner together featuring appetizers, a salad, entree, dessert and bread — all complemented with wine.
If you Like … Seclusion
High up on Beaver Creek Mountain at 9,500 feet amid aspens and pines, Trappers Cabin is the ultimate hideaway. Just outside your door, take advantage of access to skiing and snowshoeing, or absorb the peaceful solitude of your surroundings in the outdoor hot tub. Premium packages ensure every need is tended to by a personal chef and cabin staff, and some include perks like a helicopter ride from the Eagle Airport to the base of Beaver Creek, private ski lessons, and a starlight snowcat ride to a five-course dinner at Beano’s Cabin in an on-mountain meadow.
Above Estes Park near the Fall River entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park, Della Terra Mountain Chateau is nestled in the majestic grandeur of the Rocky Mountains on 14 secluded acres. When you’re not basking in the plush amenities of your swanky suite, savor a chef-curated breakfast each morning, stop by the dry-heat sauna or reserve the state-of-the-art theater room to screen — we won’t tell anyone if it’s a rom-com!
