WINTER GETAWAYS If you’re visiting the Plateau or you’re a local who wants a romantic mini vacation away from the kids, read on to find out more about local lodgings where you can get away from it all. Below are a few that offer special off-season rates. Some of them include cozy fireplaces to snuggle up to and restaurants onsite or nearby.
While your kids are ziplining through the forest, you might want to take a break at the nearby Vineyard at High Holly, a retreat on 30 lush acres, which includes a working vineyard, a Dahlia garden, waterfalls and pond, a pavilion for events (a popular wedding venue), a community area, and walking trails throughout. In addition, there are several cottages to stay in, a restaurant, a bar, and live music on Friday and Sunday afternoons. Massages and beauty treatments are available at the onsite spa. Winter hours are Thursday-Sunday, noon to 6:00pm, through December, closed January and part of February, then re-opening February 14 for a special Valentine’s dinner.
