It’s that time of year again — the season of love. Cupid’s favorite holiday, filled with dozens of opportunities to celebrate your wonderful other half just a little more than usual, and maybe even spoil them a little bit more than you already do. But when it comes to planning romantic date nights, why settle for another boring movie night when Idaho has so many cozy spots, filled with romantic ambiance? Depending on your own unique style as a couple, you’ll have no trouble finding the perfect place dine, make memories, and celebrate your love for one another — or just escape the day to day grind.
Every year, Lake Coeur d'Alene Cruises hosts a Valentine's dinner cruise, complete with champagne and picture-perfect sunset views over the water. It's also a dreamy marriage proposal opportunity!
There are plenty of places to get lost with your S.O. in Idaho's wilderness, but you know you've always wanted to take one of those cute, couples' blanket photos that fill your Pinterest board... and Hobo Cedar Grove is the perfect place to make it happen. A short, woodsy trail leads through the trees and a few picnic tables and firepits dot the grove if you feel like stopping to look into each other's eyes. Or, just enjoy the togetherness and sounds of nature.
