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.
