Romantic Weekend Getaway Ideas

The Munro House B&B in Jonesville, Michigan, has some good ideas for your romantic weekend getaway. The packages include privacy and intimacy.

The privacy part is easy. Jonesville is located in South Central Michigan about an hour South of Lansing at highways 12 & 99. When some people plan a getaway, they go where the crowd goes. In my opinion, those locations are more touristy than romantic. You can mix the two, but a true romantic getaway involves the kind of privacy that can be found in a small town, away from the crowds, and away from the kids. Just time together, one-on-one, with your lover.

Intimacy can be achieved when there are few distractions. A small town like Jonesville may fit perfectly, as there are no amusement parks, tourist attractions, or long lines. There are things to do and excellent restaurants at a slower pace. This small town Michigan inn caters to romance, can give you suggestions and will make all the arrangements for a wonderful getaway with just one phone call.

3-6 pm -- Check-in and tour of our historic home

7 pm -- Casual fine dining for 2 at Johnny T's Bistro

Romantic Getaway Package Near Detroit

The best thing about a romantic getaway package is the ability to get away from the traffic and the crowds to spend some quality time in a nice place with your lover. Jonesville, Michigan is that kind of place.  To go to a place where everyone else is going is just trading one rat race for another. To take a long drive when the weather is unpredictable can only add stress. To wait an hour for your table at a restaurant or to get shut out of a new release movie is something that rarely happens around here.

Here in Jonesville, a traffic jam is when the light turns red and you're next in line. A crowd of over 100 people may gather in church, or at the fairgrounds, or a midnight sale, but not at a restaurant, club, or theater. Our favorite eateries have unique variety, generous portions, friendly wait staff, and fair prices.  Our movie theater shows new releases on 7 screens. Our flowers are fresh, our rooms are comfortable, and our masseuses are world class--according to our guests.

Jonesville is the kind of place I grew up in back the 1960's.  Our little joke is that the 70's, 80's, and 90's haven't happened here yet. The only chain stores are fast food joints and gas stations--except for Wal-mart.  The locals are nice and we find strangers to be interesting. We are connected to the world by the internet, but are separated by geography. We are proud of our local history. We enjoy traditional activities.

The homes are warm, the food is delicious, the flowers are fresh, the masseuses are wonderful, and the prices are reasonable. Coming to Jonesville is like enjoying a little piece of heaven. This could be the break you've been looking for and it's less than 2 hours from Detroit, Lansing, Grand Rapids, Fort Wayne, and Toledo.

Valentine's Day Getaway Ideas

Valentine's Day (February 14) falls on a Monday in 2011. That makes it difficult for most people to celebrate this romantic holiday by planning an overnight getaway on the actual day, as most people have to work. Many couples will opt to go out to dinner and a movie, but many will choose to celebrate early and plan a romantic weekend getaway on February 11-12.  Jacuzzi rooms and fireplaces set the mood for a romantic getaway, but those who do not plan ahead will be shut out, as the most popular rooms are reserved early.

The Munro House in Jonesville has made the entire month of February a time for romantic getaways and is offering Valentine's Day Packages all month long.  These romantic getaway packages can include a room with a fireplace or a big double Jacuzzi tub along with the most popular add-on selections:  roses, chocolates, dinner, movies, and massages.

 For those who can book an overnight stay on Valentine's Day, regular weekday rates apply. Price conscious people can get a great deal on a great room at the Munro House and save money on Valentines Day.

For those who can not get away on a Monday night in February, a romantic getaway gift card to be given on Valentine's Day is a great option. The romance can happen on another night at a future date.

Valentine's Day in Michigan

Munro House Bed and Breakfast in Jonesville Michigan is celebrating Valentine's Day the entire month of February.  We have developed several packages for 1 and 2 nights, with romance in mind.  The packages can include chocolates, roses, dinners, massages, and movies. 

Valentine's Day, 2010, falls on a Sunday.  Most romantics like to get away on the actual holiday, February 14.  Unfortunately, most people have to work on Monday, February 15, so an overnight stay on Valentine's Day is not an option for everyone.  However, some people will have Monday off of work if their company celebrates President's Day which falls on Monday, February 15, this year. They will be able to take in an overnight stay on Sunday night and not have to worry about going to work on Monday.

With our busy schedules, everyone's getaway plan is different and the opportunity to get away does not necessarily correspond with specific weekends or holidays. So if you are looking for a romance package at a bed and breakfast in Michigan, the Munro House B&B offers a selection of romantic ideas for your getaway on any day of the week--especially during the month of February.

Michigan Inn Caters to Romance

When it comes to romance, the Munro House Bed and Breakfast in Jonesville, Michigan, has some good ideas for your romantic weekend getaway. The keys are privacy and intimacy.

The privacy part is easy, because Jonesville is in South Central Michigan about an hour due South of Lansing at highways 12 & 99. When many people plan a getaway, they go where the crowd goes--Mackinac, Traverse City, South Haven, and Saugatuck. In my opinion, those locations are more touristy than romantic. You can mix the two, but a true romantic getaway involves the kind of privacy that can be found in a small town, away from the crowds, and away from the kids. Just time together, one-on-one, with your mate.

Intimacy can be achieved when there are few distractions. A small town like Jonesville may fit perfectly, as there are no amusement parks, tourist traps, or long lines. There are things to do and excellent restaurants at a slower pace. This small town Michigan inn caters to romance and can give you suggestions and make all the arrangements for a wonderful getaway with just one phone call.

Romantic Bed & Breakfast in Michigan Knows Romance

What is romance? What is romantic? These terms mean different things to different people. For some people, romance is dinner, flowers, and a night at home alone. For other people romance is quiet time, away from the kids, far from home with the one you love. A romantic getaway could be one-on-one time with your lover on the golf course, in a restaurant, or in a nice room in a small town inn.

Any combination of these things can be a romantic getaway. The Munro House Bed and Breakfast in Jonesville Michigan has many getaway packages that are romantic. Our most popular one is simply called the Romantic Getaway Package and includes flowers, chocolates, dinners, massages, and two nights bed and breakfast.

The romantic getaway starts with a choice of rooms. Choices may include a room with a fireplace or double Jacuzzi tub. Couples away for romance enjoy the flicker of the fire as a backdrop. The double Jacuzzi tubs are a prelude to love. Our in-room tubs are made for 2. Our "magic potion" fills the tub with bubbles when the jets are engaged. After the room is chosen, the rest of the planning is in our hands.

Upon arrival, an itinerary is provided along with a selection of decadent chocolate truffles and a dozen roses floral arrangement in a glass vase. Dinner reservations are made for that evening at 1 of our favorite local restaurants. Breakfast is always included with an overnight stay. On the second day, a one hour massage is scheduled in a private room in our house. After a one hour rubdown, a dip in the tub and/or a nap is typical behavior after our massage therapists put you into a fine state of relaxation. The rest of the afternoon is yours to spend any way you like--at the movies, at the antique malls, at the ice cream parlor, or the fun park. A second dinner reservation is made at another of our favorite local restaurants and breakfast is served the following morning.

The Chicago Water Grill is our favorite restaurant and always our top choice for guests to enjoy. It just happens to be just 2 blocks away--a short walk--and has food selections that are consistantly very good and service that is consistantly very good. With choices that include steaks, seafood, chicken, and pasta, there is a nice selection of food for a fine dining experience.
