As long as you have a good winter coat, Boston can be a perfect spot for romantic winter getaways on the East Coast. This vibrant city is full of restaurants, shops, and cultural attractions. After a day of exploring, head back to your vacation rental for a hot bubble bath and intimate evening for two.
Some couples want a winter getaway that is serene and isolated. For that, choose a lake home on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire. Stock the kitchen of your rental with your favorite goodies, and spend a quiet weekend free of technology.
Some travelers might be hesitant to visit New York City in the winter, but with the right winter gear, you can soak up the snow-induced romance of the city that never sleeps. From the magic of the holiday season to how beautiful Manhattan looks under a fresh coating of snow, this city will make you want to cuddle up close.

Summer hotspots can be a great retreat during the winter season. Martha's Vineyard might be popular during the summer, but in winter, couples can enjoy the scenery along with peace and quiet.
