Ideas for a 1 night get-away from Los Angeles
My boyfriend and I have been working, working, working...and finally have a day of together. Does anyone have any ideas for a nice, romantic overnight from LA? It would be in a couple of weeks--Saturday mornng to Sunday early afternoon.

hi alisa,
my husband and i were looking for the same thing last october, when we decided to head to big bear. we left on friday night and arrived at the holiday inn around 10pm. the holiday inn was the only "hotel" that i could find that was 3 star AAA. it was important that we feel comfortable in a clean place since it was a "getaway".
anyhow, it was a very nice room with a whirlpool, and a fireplace. there was a balcony and we were on the first floor, and it gave a sort of woods feel because it was in the middle of the woods.
the only problem we had was that the mattress was way too soft and springy. when we notified them upon checkout they took one night off the bill.
otherwise, nice property, clean, and comfortable.

In PS, if you want romantic and will get plain silly with your budget, do the Willows. Other alternatives are renting the Nash House at Korakia (less, but still $$$) the Villa Royale (go have a drink at the Europa bar if you don't stay there), or Villa Serena, probably most affordable. For a romantic dinner try La Provence or St. James at the Vineyard. In November and December PS gives good ambiance. The weather is perfect and Palm Canyon is decorated for the holidays. Of course, the key is having romance in your soul and the spark in your eye to kindle the flames.
Peace.
Peace.
