If the kind of romantic getaway you're looking for is to truly get as far from your current place of residence as possible, this Minnesota village has got to be the choice.

Thrillist is a travel website with great ideas for travel spots year-round and romantic getaways are no exception. This time they've chosen to find the most romantic weekend getaway in far north Minnesota.

Lutsen, Minnesota

Nestled on the North Shore coastline of Lake Superior, the last census in 2020 found 220 residents living there.

So talk about getting away from it all with your sweetie! This is definitely the place! Plus, there are plenty of lodging options, although Thrillist recommends the Lutsen Resort. According to the resort's website, it has been "unforgettable since 1885".

There are plenty of places for you to explore that are just down the highway from Lutsen, like the Split Rock Lighthouse State Park.

Skiing

North Shore Visitor says that Lutsen Mountains offers skiers and snowboarders plenty to do too with "95 sweeping runs over four mountains". And if you're not the outdoorsy type there is always the chalet with a warm fire and beverage of your choice.

Chocolate Truffles

Beautiful scenery, rustic luxury lodging, amazing food, and wine- - all scream romance! Then you add "turndown service featuring decadent truffles from" their "in-house chocolatier" and that pushes this gorgeous location over the top in the romance category.
