When it comes to meaningful gifts, few gestures can beat the magic of a shared experience. And what better way to share time with a loved one than a mountain escape where the stresses of everyday life slip away. Above the clouds, and away from it all you’re free to embrace the moment, reflect intentionally, and celebrate each other. Cozying up together is the ultimate romantic gesture for Valentine’s Day. 

 

So, what makes the perfect romantic experience? 

 

It begins with location. Choose a destination that feels worlds away from your everyday life yet remains effortlessly accessible. While distant getaways have their appeal, the stress of a complicated journey can take away from the experience. Instead, opt for a place where the journey is as enjoyable as the destination itself so you arrive relaxed. 

Chanticleer Inn Bed and Breakfast is located at 1,800 feet atop Lookout Mountain. It is a beautiful and brief 15-minute drive from downtown Chattanooga, Tenn. where pretty mountain roads open to expansive views leading you to Fairyland, an idyllic community with fairytale-themed streets and lovely homes. There are a few different routes to arrive at the Chanticleer Inn, all beautiful in their own way. The location, nestled in the heart of Fairyland, is easy to reach yet feels like its own little world in a storybook setting. 

 

Next is atmosphere, an essential part of any romantic getaway. Find a place that offers beauty and comfort, both inside and out with inviting interiors and breathtaking outdoors spaces. Thoughtfully designed lodgings with luxurious amenities make for the best atmospheres. Places with distinctive architecture and a unique setting can transport you far from the ordinary, immersing you in a place where every detail feels special. 

 

Situated on two acres of manicured gardens, The Chanticleer Inn is a historic property reflective of the French countryside with small cottages crafted of hand-laid stones surrounding a beautiful courtyard. Originally built in 1927, its historic charm has been updated throughout the years with fine amenities like Whirlpool tubs and steam showers. Each of its seventeen rooms and special cottages is uniquely decorated, and most come with a delightful patio area to enjoy the outdoors. Hidden among the trees, the Chanticleer Inn offers privacy in a tranquil setting. The bocce court, pool, and pristine grounds set the scene at this well-rounded property.  

 

Dining is an essential part of any vacation, and a delicious meal is its own special experience. Quality culinary experiences enhance any getaway no matter the meal, and finding a place to stay with the added benefits of food and beverage service is key.  

 

All guests at Chanticleer Inn are treated to a freshly cooked breakfast each morning. With a rotating menu offering pancakes, eggs benedict, Belgian waffles and more guests are sure to never have the same breakfast twice, even on a multi-night stay. As an additional benefit, the Chanticleer Inn offers a gorgeous spread of grazing food each afternoon. A selection of cheeses, finger sandwiches, breads, and baked goods all freshly prepared offer something for everyone to enjoy. Additionally, just down the mountain from the Inn’s location is historic St. Elmo. Here you can find two great date night spots, 1885 Grill and Little Coyote, as well as a coffee shop and Clumpies Ice Cream Co.  

 

While everyone loves to relax during vacation, activities and things to do are still important. No matter how beautiful the property, you’ll want to leave at least once. Luckily, Chanticleer Inn is just steps from Rock City which is a perfect activity to do with your loved one. Beautiful views, inspiring natural beauty, and creative installations will have you making fun discoveries around every corner. If you’re more of a history lover, you can check out Battles for Chattanooga and Point Park a short drive away. It is also close to great hiking like the Guild Trail and Glen Falls.  

 

Finally, for a proper Valentine’s Day celebration a special treat is in order. Big gestures or small touches, that extra something to set the vacation apart from the rest is essential. Because what’s Valentine’s Day without a little indulgence? 

 

How about a rose petal turn down service? A bottle of champagne with fresh house-made chocolate covered strawberries? Two tickets to beautiful Rock City? Chanticleer Inn is offering all of this, and a keepsake throw blanket to help you remember it, throughout the month of February. Choose from any of the unique rooms or cottages and supplement your stay with the Cozy Romance Package to take your experience to the next level.
