It's time to snuggle
We've got cabin fever and we can't help it because Virginia State Park cabins are a wonderful way to escape the daily grind.
If you have never experienced a cabin stay at a Virginia State Park in the wintertime you don't know what you are missing. There are over 300 snuggle-worthy cabins available to rent from Virginia State Parks.
All cabins are climate controlled, but just for that extra cuddle effect some have:
- Wood burning fireplaces
- Wood stove
- Gas log fireplaces
Our cabins vary from park to park and sometimes even within one park. Example, Douthat State Park has original Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) built log cabins plus newer cabins. Some have screen porches, some have open rock porches. There are one room efficiency cabins where the bed is situated in the same room as the fireplace and in the ideal place to nestle. We love to call these honeymoon cabins. Click here to see the variety of cabins available at Virginia State Parks.
REKINDLE THE ROMANCE
IGNITE THE OLD FLAME
All the CCC built cabins received new furniture in 2016 and offer queen sized beds
Cabins have fully outfitted kitchens so you can cook for the one you love
I'll light the fire, you place the flowers in the vase that you bought today.
Staring at the fire for hours and hours while I listen to you
Play your love songs all night long for me, only for me.
-Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young "Our House"
BONUS HINT:
You can save 25% on a future cabin stay if you purchase a gift certificate before December 20, 2016 and use it toward that little love shack. This would make a great gift for that person who has everything, or use it yourself for an extra special gift to your loved one. Then it will be reciprocal.
Give them the gift of romance
and memory making at a Virginia State Park
Gift certificates in any amount or denomination can be purchased by speaking to our Customer Service Center at 800-933-PARK. They are available to take your call Monday through Friday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. so call soon!
AND LET THE SNUGGLING COMMENCE...
