5 tips to make your Frontier House weekend extra special
Use this as the “guide” portion of the blog to make it feel more actionable and shareable.
1. Set the tone before you arrive
Plan a small surprise to greet your partner when you check in. Think their favorite chocolates, a handwritten note, or a bouquet picked up on the way into town. You can tuck these into the kitchen area or bedroom so they see them right away.
2. Book dinner at The Fairbanks in advance
Reserve a table at The Fairbanks so you can relax and enjoy an unhurried meal on-site. Make it feel special by:
- Dressing up a bit, even if you walked over from upstairs
- Sharing a couple of appetizers and a dessert
- Toasting with a cocktail or a glass of wine to mark the occasion
It’s an easy way to create a “big night out” feeling with almost zero effort.
3. Create a slow, screen-light morning
Let the morning be slow and intentional. Brew coffee in your suite, open the curtains, and enjoy a quiet start together before heading out. Then, stroll through the village for breakfast or a second cup of coffee at a local café, and wander the streets hand in hand.
4. Add a little history to your romance
Take a moment to appreciate where you’re staying. Frontier House has nearly two centuries of stories within its walls, and you’re now part of its next chapter. Talk a walk around the building, notice the details, and explore the village’s historic streets to add a meaningful, “we’re staying somewhere special” element to your trip.
5. Build in time for true R&R
Don’t overschedule. Plan one outing or activity, then let the rest of the time be about resting, reconnecting, and enjoying the quiet. Bring a favorite book, a card game, or a playlist to enjoy back in your suite. The goal is to leave feeling restored, not rushed.
