Where do you go for a little weekend vacation?

I live downtown so I don't want to go to stay in a hotel here. I'm just looking for fun/cute suggestions of places to stay within a few hours of Chicago for myself and my husband. 

Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!

Re: Where do you go for a little weekend vacation?

  • We go to Lake Geneva a few times a year for weekend getaways.  We've stayed at several different places, but our favorite is The Abbey Resort & Spa.  It's actually in Fontana, but is still on Lake Geneva.  I've heard good things about Galena, too, but have never been there.

  • We're headed to a little resort town in Indiana, next to the Dunes, called Beverly Shores this afternoon.  The houses are down the block from the beach and the house we're staying at has an awesome hot tub that I live in.  There are a lot of attractions but we tend to just hang out at the house & beach.

    We also go to St Louis a couple times a year with our friends, my best friend's sister lives there so we go visit for a weekend.. or go for Mardi Gras and stay at her husband's boss' loft downtown.

    We're also headed to Wolf River this summer for camping & tubing.  It'll be the first time we're checking it out but I've heard good things from friends who have been there before.

  • DH and I love Galena.  We try to go once a year for a few days.  I'd move there if I could find a job :) but then it would've be our fun weekend trip spot.

  • Galena is amazing! We're headed down there in 2 weeks for a wedding, and are stoked we get a free getaway out of it!
  • Thanks ladies for all of the suggestions!

  • Galena is great!  Door County, WI is also really cute, if you're willing to drive a little further.
  • I'm a little late but I wanted to second Door County, WI. My H and I went there in the dead of winter and were shocked about how much great stuff there was to do and see. I have heard that it is even better in the summer. St. Joe, MI is also a cute little town right on Lake Michigan and only a couple of hours from the city.
  • Can I suggest Galena?  I live 20 minutes from there and the Territories.  It's absolutely gorgeous and amazing.  Just google it if you want more info.  I'm not about to post links.  LOL.
