Hey parents, looking for a quick getaway to find the sanity your in-laws and kids misplaced? Here’s a quick guide to fast getaways within a five-hour radius from your living room.<\/em><\/p>\n

For the World-Class Wine-and-Spa Crowd \"wine\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chateau Elan Winery and Resort \u2013 Atlanta, Ga.<\/em><\/p>\n

This location has everything you want including a world-class spa, a championship golf course, a fully functioning winery and so much more. Consider couples photos in the winery, a couple\u2019s massage, a wine education event or dinner under the stars and recapture your connection.<\/p>\n

Ritz-Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation \u2013 Greensboro, Ga.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ranked as a Travel + Leisure 500 World’s Best Hotels in 2015, this resort is lakefront luxury at its best. Spend your day in the 26,000 square foot spa sipping champagne while you experience a couple\u2019s massage and pedicure. Spend your nights in feather beds with marble baths and European bath products.<\/p>\n

For the Outdoorsy Types<\/strong><\/p>\n

Steinhatchee Landing Resort \u2013 Steinhatchee, Fla.<\/em><\/p>\n

Cottages with amenities including a gas fireplace, Jacuzzi bathtub and a grill are available on a tree-lined lane close to the river. This is truly getting away from it all! Only three miles from the Gulf, you can bring your boat and dock on site, kayak, hunt, ride horses or take a leisurely stroll through the historic downtown area.
\nMountain Top Inn and Resort \u2013 Warm Springs, Ga.<\/em><\/p>\n

Located near Callaway Gardens at the top of Pine Mountain and just under four hours from Tallahassee is this romantic resort. Choose from a log cabin or a lodge room, with a Jacuzzi, rocking chairs and porches overlooking the valley. You\u2019ll find a wild animal safari park, horseback riding and a little presidential history nearby.<\/p>\n

For the I-Need-Solitude Folks<\/strong><\/p>\n

GreyWeld Inn \u2013 Cumberland Island, Ga.<\/em><\/p>\n

Located just three and a half hours from Tallahassee, this romantic gem will win you over quickly if you truly want to unplug. The inn is on an undeveloped island with no phones, streetlights or stores. Wild horses run free and you can watch them grazing nearby; just don\u2019t get too close.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Pointe Lodge \u2013 Fernandina Beach, Fla.<\/em><\/p>\n

If that is too remote, consider staying at the beautiful Elizabeth Pointe Lodge and take in a sunset cruise to see Cumberland Island. The lodge was built in the 1800\u2019s and is directly on the beach.<\/p>\n

For a Beachy Escape<\/strong><\/p>\n

Watercolor Inn and Resort \u2013 Santa Rosa Beach, Fla.<\/em><\/p>\n

All 60 rooms in the main inn face the beach, and if you\u2019re on the first floor, they come with private patios and Adirondack chairs. Upper floors have sunset views and walk-in showers surrounded by windows. It\u2019s Southern hospitality meets beach romance with attendants catering to your every whim.<\/p>\n

One Ocean Resort and Spa \u2013 Atlantic Beach, Fla.<\/em><\/p>\n

This resort is located directly on the beach in a little known area near Jacksonville. The resort fee includes unlimited snacks and non-alcoholic beverages, complimentary steam pressing and shoe shining, a temperature controlled pool and more. The area is reminiscent of a small town with art galleries, bars, restaurants and locally owned shops. If you go, skip the popular seafood restaurant with the long wait and head to Ragtime. You won\u2019t be disappointed!<\/p>\n
