JW Marriott The Rosseau Muskoka Resort & Spa

As for outdoor activities, there's a slew on offer here, including snow-shoeing, bike tours, and nearby skiing for when you both get a craving for adrenaline.

Drake Devonshire

Drake Devonshire is, appropriately, perched on the edge of a private beach in Prince Edward County, giving you and your partner a chance to fully disconnect from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The rooms are quaint, cozy, and quirky, offering fireplaces, lake or garden views, and a seating area where you can chillax to the max.

You'll also probably enjoy the proximity to tons of activities — both on-site and off — including temporary art galleries, evening entertainment, aerobics, canoeing, golfing, and biking. No boredom here!

Northumberland Heights Wellness Retreat & Spa

Northumberland Wellness Retreat & Spa should be at the tippy-top of your must-visit list if you're on the hunt for a low-key romantic stay.

There are terraces and gardens to explore, outdoor fireplaces very conducive to cuddling, and, of course, a full spa where you and your partner can have all your stresses and worries kneaded away in peace.

The resort also offers cool activities, like cooking classes, walking tours, and aerobics, in case you and your companion are the active types. Plus, there's a full English/Irish breakfast available every morning, so you'll start your days well-fed and ready to take on whatever comes.

Pillar and Post Inn & Spa

Pillar and Post Inn & Spa is not messing around when it comes to romantic vibes. The cozy property is centrally-located in Niagara-on-the-Lake just off the main street, but chances are, the hot springs pool, sauna, and wine bar will be enough to keep you on-site all day long.

In fact, the inn has two adults-only pools that are also open year-round — one indoors, one outdoors. That means visiting in the winter will give you the chance to soak away your stress while watching a slow snowfall.

With activities like yoga, food sampling, Pilates, and game nights, you might actually find yourselves wishing you could stay just one more night.

Millcroft Inn & Spa

Millcroft Inn & Spa in the Caledon area has just about everything you could ever dream of for the ideal romantic getaway. That includes outdoor hot springs (with waterfalls!), a games room, and two swimming pools you can swim in year-round.

Perfect for visiting just about any time of year, the inn strikes a balance between Old World appeal and modern amenities, with stunning dining views, cozy decor, herbal steam rooms, and bikes for zooming around the 100-acre property.
