Unique Accommodations

Why settle for a crowded hotel with a parking lot view when you can stay in private lodging surrounded by nature? Glamping resorts focus on creating a unique experience for all their guests, tailored to their environments. In Central Pennsylvania, this means embracing the beauty of the rolling hills and forests.

Extra Private

One of the best things about glamping is the privacy. Unlike traditional hotels where you might share walls with noisy neighbors, glamping puts you in your own secluded space. Whether it’s a cabin, tent, or tiny home, you can enjoy your time together without worrying about hearing other people or being heard.

Reasonably Affordable

Luxury doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. Glamping often provides high-end accommodations without the upcharges of traditional hotels. You get all the charm and comfort of a boutique stay and the added bonus of being immersed in nature without breaking the bank.

Setting the Mood

There are a number of occasions that may inspire your romantic getaway; birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries just to name a few. Whether you’ve been together for decades, or less than a year, taking a trip together can help set the mood for a better relationship.

Lovers’ Escape

For new couples, glamping is a great way to get to know each other. The quiet environment is ideal for fostering deeper connections. Try playing some games to help you bond, and tell stories to learn more about each other. Add in some of your favorite snacks to share and you have the perfect weekend away.

Honeymoon Vacation 

Committing to spending your life together is something worth celebrating! Bring along photo albums (digital or otherwise) to reflect on your time together.  Whether you are newlyweds starting out or an established couple celebrating an anniversary, glamping offers a peaceful retreat to share and create memories.

Rekindling Romance 

Keeping the romantic spark alive can be a challenge, especially with all the stress of daily life. Sometimes the best way to heat things back up is to get away. Parents looking for a getaway or partners wanting to rejuvenate their bond will find glamping a perfect relaxing setting for intimacy and reconnection.

Things to do

Your time together should reflect what makes you feel closer to your partner. Whether you like to be active outdoors, explore the city, or relax at the cabin, State College is brimming with romantic activities to suit every kind of couple. Here are a few options to plan your glamping getaway.

Walk in the Woods

The crisp air, winter trees, and tranquil trails can be breathtaking in more ways than one. Here are a few ways you can enjoy Pennsylvania’s winter wonderland.

• Ski at Tussey Mountain: If you’re visiting in winter, hit the slopes at Tussey Mountain. Skiing or snowboarding together is a fun way to stay active and enjoy the season.



• Lights at the Arboretum at Penn State: During the holiday season, the Arboretum at Penn State transforms into a magical display of lights. Stroll hand-in-hand through the illuminated gardens for an enchanting evening.

• Walk in the Snow: A simple walk in the snow can be a romantic experience. Bundle up and wander through the snowy landscape, pausing to admire the beauty of winter.

Love in the City

Sometimes a blend of city and country life is just what the couples-therapist ordered. For couples who love a mix of nature and urban experiences, here are some urban activities to try.

• Catch a show at the Bryce Jordan Center: Enjoy a night out with a concert or live event at the Bryce Jordan Center. Sharing live entertainment can make your trip even more memorable.

• Wine Tasting at Happy Valley Vineyard and Winery: Savor the flavors of Pennsylvania wines at Happy Valley Vineyard and Winery. A wine-tasting session is a delightful way to unwind and enjoy each other’s company.

• Make memories and you paint pottery at 2000 Degrees:  Get creative by painting pottery together at 2000 Degrees. It’s a fun, hands-on activity that lets you bring home a personalized souvenir of your trip.

Romantic Night In

If you like to keep things simple, opt for a night in. Your glamping site can also be the perfect place for quality time. Here are some things you can do without leaving your love nest.

• Soak in the Hot Tub: Many glamping sites come equipped with private hot tubs. Relax in warm, bubbling water under the stars for a truly romantic experience.

• Movie Night: If your accommodations don’t include a television, bring a laptop or projector and set up a cozy movie night. Snuggle under blankets and enjoy a low-key evening.

• Game Night: Pack some board games or a deck of cards for an old-fashioned game night. It’s a lighthearted way to connect and share laughs.
