You’ve been dreaming of a quiet escape where it’s just the two of you, surrounded by nature, romance, and zero stress. But when it comes time to plan, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. What should we do? Will it be romantic enough? Will we even have time to relax?

At Babbling Brook Cottages, we believe your romantic getaway should be effortless and memorable. That’s why we’ve created this simple checklist of 6 romantic things you can do right here in and around Dingmans Ferry—no guesswork required.

1. Watch the Sunset by A Waterfall

Just a 5 minute hike or 1 minute drive from your cottage, you’ll find George W. Childs Park. Pack a blanket, sit by Factory Falls, and let nature do the rest.

2. Unplug with a Couples Digital Detox

No screens. No schedules. Just the two of you. Bring a favorite card or board game or a journal to write love notes to each other—something simple that reminds you how good it feels to reconnect.

3. Share a Little Magic under the Stars

Each cottage has its own private fire pit and is provided with free firewood. Light a fire, grab a relaxing beverage, roast marshmallows, and soak in the sounds of the night. It’s cozy, quiet, and totally magical.

4. Savor your Coffee under the Covers

Wake up and make a pot of coffee, open the windows, listen to the birds and wrap yourselves in blankets. It’s the simplest moment—and often the one couples say they’ll never forget.
