Almost right after my husband left for Pakistan, I made an
immediate search to find a close by “retreat”/B&B/romantic getaway
destination for his first R&R – or as I would like to refer to it as our
R&R because it was just as important for me to get away as it was for
him.
As luck would have it, I found the Alpine Hideaway cottages in
Steeles Tavern, Va. – right on the edge of the Shenandoah.
They are owned by Melissa and Ray Alexander, proprietors of
Steele’s Tavern Manor B&B, which is also a lovely place to stay.
But I wanted the exclusivity of the cabins.
We stayed at The Pond cabin – our deck hot tub overlooked the
pond. It was totally quiet and we were totally by ourselves – except for the
cows in the distant field and a little stray cat that was very cute.
Apparently, you can fish in the pond which is fed by local
streams.
Some of the other options offered which we took advantage of
were;
*Couples massage (first night there)
*Dinner prepared in your cabin by a local caterer (2nd
night) – 3, 4, or 5 course dinners offered – we chose the 4 course and we were
stuffed!! They also give you complimentary flowers and vase and a framed menu
of your dinner.
*Breakfast on the last day at the manor – the cottage has its
own kitchen and gas grill so you don’t have to do anything at the manor if you
don’t want to. But Melissa prepared a fantastic breakfast – we were definitely
stuffed after the dinner and the breakfast – but it was excellent fare!!
