5 Creative Ways to Celebrate Valentine's Day

You've only got a few days left before Valentine's Day is here! Expectations can be high for this holiday. In addition to the cards, flowers and chocolates you may already have planned, it's important to spend time with that special someone in your life. If you're still trying to figure out how to celebrate your love this Valentine's Day, try one of these great ideas from your favorite Lake of the Ozarks resort!

1. Re-Create Your First Date. 


The first date with your significant other is something you will never forget. Valentine's Day is an opportunity to show your love for each other and what better way to do that than going back to the day that it all started. Whether you guys went for a stroll through the park or to nice (possibly awkward) dinner, take a trip into the past and re-create that first date you had with your special someone.

2. Have a Movie Marathon. 


Cuddling up to your favorite movies is a great way to spend Valentine's Day. Create a cozy nook with some pillows and blankets. Add your favorite sweets and snacks, and you have yourself the makings of a romantic night in. Why would you want to go to a crowded movie theater when you have everything you need for an awesome movie night right at home?

3.  Get Pampered at the Spa. 


Treat yourself and that special someone to a relaxing day at the spa. From a couples massage to facials or just soaking in the hot tub, the spa is a great place to spend a stress-free day with that special someone. Take a break from your daily lives and enjoy each other's company with no distractions. If you're celebrating on a budget this year, bring the spa to your own home. Take a relaxing bubble bath and then give each other a nice foot massage.

4. Enjoy a Candle Light Dinner. 


Whether you want to make reservations at that fancy restaurant you've been dying to go to or prepare a something at home, a nice dinner is always a great option for Valentine's Day. Kick up the romance with some candle light and champagne or wine. Be sure to include something sweet to indulge in after the main course. Chocolate is always a good option!

5. Go On a Scavenger Hunt. 


Out with the old and in with the new. Forget about the traditional dinner and do something fun with that special someone. Scavenger hunts are a great way to bond with your partner. Working together to find the items on your list will bring you closer together. Think outside the box this Valentine's Day and try something new!

Happy Valentine's Day from Summerset Inn Resort! While we may not currently be open, we are gearing up for another great season at the best waterfront resort at the Lake of the Ozarks. Make your reservations for our 2016 season now by calling 573-348-50703 today!
