A series of Victorian cottages dot the tree-lined French street. That purple house, with the garden out front, is the Abbett Placer Inn. Your host brings you to your room, where lase curtains line the windows and floral bedspreads adorn the beds. Luxuriate in the hot tub before bed time, and wake up to a breakfast of Grand Marnier french toast, fresh fruits and homemade muffins.
You might be sore after spending a day skiing the slopes or hiking the Breckenridge mountains. Luckily, the Meridian Spa at the Lodge and Spa at Breckenridge offers couple's massage. All massages include aromatherapy, so indulge your senses in the sweet smell of romance.

Dimmed lights, soft jazz and local artwork create an ambiance conducive to romance, matched only by martini selections with names like Champagne Dreams, Pearadise Martini, and Pomegranate Mojito.
