Are many women interested in heading up to secluded mountain view cabin for a romantic weekend anymore?

[OfMiceandMen]

I've been seeing a younger woman (mid-thirties) and was going to suggest we go up to a cabin for a Valentines weekend. It is somewhat rustic, it has a woodstove which keeps it nice and toasty. We could light lots of candles, cuddle, read each other short stories, play board games, go snowshoeing/cross country skiing, make lots of good meals and chat about everything.

At night you can hear the wolves howling, during the day you can see lots of deer on the snowshoe/ski trail, feed the birds by hand, and visit the waterfall that flows during the winter months.

There's no TV and no Wi-Fi, you have to make your own fun reading, playing games, etc. in the evening hours. Just getting back to the basics/unplugged.

Does a weekend like that even appeal to women these days or does it sound boring?

Yes, she'd probably like that...

No she'd probably prefer going to the casino...

Just to add to this, I've known her for two years off and on and we've been seeing each other for about 5 weeks steady. I've been over to her place and she's been over to mine so we're already close.

I would love that; but not with a stranger. I matched with a man on a dating app and the message he sent was asking if I would like to go 5 hrs away to a lake and stay over night. NO. Maybe im a scaredy cat but Im not doing something like with with a guy I barely know. Trips like that are for couples in my opinion, not first dates things.

[OfMiceandMen]

I think you chose wisely, I would never invite someone out of the blue like that. That's a little on the creepy side and I wouldn't feel safe not knowing her well enough.

[BoopBoopBeep]

Every time I've done that it's been wildly successful, but of course most of our food was homecooked and upscale so while I don't think that's essential, I accept that played a part in it. I think as long as you know each other enough for her to feel safe doing that it'll go over well. Just make sure it's stocked with what she likes and don't assume it'll be available when you get there.

[OfMiceandMen]

I would run a food/meal list by her and make sure she is okay with everything before heading out. We could always go shopping together and pick items/ingredients out.

[BoopBoopBeep]

Yeah you can, but I remember one trip in TN and one trip in CO where her drink of choice wasn't easily available in one and unavailable in the other because they only had state-run liquor stores (forgot which was which)... so any wine/liquor or potentially rare/obscure ingredient I'd grab ahead of time and bring it with you.

[JacobJordan]

Well I wouldn't say secluded that's the start of a horror movie 🤣. That being said some women would love that

[OfMiceandMen]

Hahaha... it's a 20 minute drive from town, so not too secluded.

[LazerBean]

It just depends on how outdoorsy a person is. If she's in the camping and hiking and stuff then she would probably like that

[OfMiceandMen]

Lucky for me, she is into that outdoorsy stuff.

[LazerBean]

Sounds like y'all are going to have a great Valentine's Day then!

[OfMiceandMen]

😊👍👍👍

[exitseven]

I am sure my wifecwould like it. It was how we spent our honeymoon.

[OfMiceandMen]

Nice... unique!

[exitseven]

After we were married for 20 years we went back there for a few days. I wanted tonbook the same cabin. Unfortunately it had burned down. It was sad to see just an empty lot wherevourclittle cabin used to be

[OfMiceandMen]

I bet.

[NathanDavis]

how well does she know you?

[OfMiceandMen]

We've known each other the last two years and just recently (5 weeks) started seeing each other. I just never knew how she felt about me till within the last two months and we connected.

[NathanDavis]

good, a lot less chances of any of you ending up buried in the woods for nobody ever to see you again...

[OfMiceandMen]

Agreed, don't want to become a "back 40" scenario.

[NathanDavis]

not my kind of exciting either, lol

[Nikki1989]

I would love that.

[HelpfulWoman]

ugh sounds like a skip to either,
what does she like? if she's outdoorsy then maybe she would like it.

[OfMiceandMen]

She's outdoorsy like myself.

[HelpfulWoman]

then she'd probably enjoy it.
you could just ask her of course. especially if you don't feel confident enough in it you had to ask here. then least you'll know

[OfMiceandMen]

For sure, it's suppose to be a bit of a surprise, but I could always have a back-up plan in case she's not interested in the cabin idea. Thanks.

[HelpfulWoman]

I think surprises are lovely, but you can always whisk her away as a surprise at some point AFTER you know its something she enjoys to do :)

[naartjie]

If it’s someone you don’t really know then eh.. but I mean yeah I love that sort of thing

[OfMiceandMen]

I would not chance it with someone I didn't really know either.

[Curmudgeon]

IS she a skier? If so, this would be great.

[OfMiceandMen]

Not sure, but if she's not keen on skiing I have snowshoes that would fit.

[douride2]

Honestly I would prefer a secluded cabin on the lake.

[OfMiceandMen]

Nice waking up in the morning, perc'ing some coffee and sitting out on the porch by the fire bowl.

[douride2]

Yes it is.

[Sirenboobzilla]

I LOVE mountain trips. Getting away from it all. Clean mountain air. The views. Quality time with my boyfriend. It's all perfect ❤️ 😍

[Iron_Man]

That’s an awesome trip, but that’s more for like couples that already know each other not new dates
