Winvian in the Litchfield Hills of Connecticut is set on 113 acres with a lush forest and lakes, enough to attract anyone wanting to escape the hectic city life. But this Connecticut retreat didn't stop there. Winvian hired 15 architects to come up with totally unique guest cottages. Each has a different shape and theme, such as the Greenhouse for plant lovers, the library for the book worm, and the helicopter cottage that resembles a hangers, ideal for aviation fans.

If you every get bored of your cottage, you can visit the spa for a luxurious couples massage, have a romantic dinner and enjoy an array of outdoor activities.

The romantic inn is located about two hours from New York City and Boston, a quick weekend getaway from both cities.

Activities that couples can enjoy together include hiking, biking, horseback riding and snow-shoeing in the winter. Winvian offers elegant wedding facilities with Relais & Chateaux Chefs. Cottage rates at Winvian start at $599. All-inclusive rates start at $1,250 per night.
