Romantic Labor Day Getaways

Labor Day – the last gasp of summer before children go back to school, and work life returns to routine. No matter if you're an elementary school kid or a parent, Labor Day marks the end of summer vacations and the beginning of the autumn and winter seasons. Since it's also a three day weekend, this national holiday is also a great choice for one last summer trip. Planning romantic Labor Day getaways can be a great way to spend these last fleeting moments of summertime fun.

One place that makes great romantic Labor Day getaways is Cape Cod. Located on the far eastern shoreline of Massachusetts, Cape Cod is a semi-circular peninsula that surrounds Cape Cod Bay. Technically an island (separated from the mainland of Massachusetts by the building of the Cape Cod Canal in 1914), this maritime location is a great romantic spot for couples looking to enjoy the Atlantic Ocean as well as some New England atmosphere. Labor Day comes at a time of year when Cape Cod is at its best, with warm waters for swimming and weather that's generally mild, but not hot enough to be unbearable.

Planning your romantic Labor Day getaways in Cape Cod can be a challenge for two reasons. The first is simply that there are so many lodging establishments to choose from! The second is that rooms, even though there are many of them, tend to fill up fast on Cape Cod, especially on holiday weekends. It's a good idea to book your trip as early as possible. One especially romantic inn on Cape Cod that's perfect for your romantic getaway is the High Pointe Inn, located in Barnstable, Massachusetts.

Voted the best bed and breakfast in the mid-Cape area for 2005, the High Pointe Inn offers guests three breathtaking rooms to choose from, with beautifully appointed furnishings and spectacular views of Cape Cod Bay from each room. The Two Enchanted Evenings package, available for those romantics wanting to spend a couple of nights here, also includes full breakfasts, a three course dinner at a local restaurant, and complimentary cordials at the inn at night.

The Cranberry Inn of Chatham, Massachusetts, also offers romantics a place to revel in alone time. The oldest inn in Chatham, the Cranberry Inn offers 18 guestrooms furnished in traditional New England style, with some including fireplaces, private balconies and wet bars. Try the Romantic Weekend Getaway Package for something truly special – which includes champagne, roses and chocolate truffles! Romantic Labor Day getaways in Cape Cod can be the perfect end to your summer!
