Escape to a Dreamy Romantic Getaway in Kansas

Thinking about a romantic getaway in Kansas? Let's make it something you'll actually remember. We've hosted anniversaries, proposals, first trips together, and spur-of-the-moment "just because" weekends. Each one feels special here.

Why? Marion moves more slowly, breathes easier, and gives you space to reconnect without distraction.

You'll stroll historic streets and share bites of delicious food. Then you'll unwind in an indulgent but never stuffy suite.

Our inn is right in the heart of it all. You bring your favorite person. We'll bring the rose petals, the bubbles, and maybe even a surprise or two. Use this guide to plan your Kansas weekend. We'll help you create a trip you'll talk about for years.

A romantic getaway should feel easy, unhurried, and a little luxurious. That's precisely what we offer here. Our rooms are cozy and charming. Every detail feels thoughtful without trying too hard.

When you book a romance package, you'll find plush robes, a comfy reading chair, and candlelight. The pillowtop King beds are a dream come true. You'll wake up rested and ready for fresh-brewed coffee. This suite is your space to slow down, breathe deep, and focus on each other for a while.

Want to slow down and spend time outside? Walking together always brings something good. Our favorite romantic getaway in Kansas includes a peaceful walk along a trail, followed by dinner. You'll find soft paths, wide-open views, and quiet spots to hold hands or share a laugh.

Try the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve for vast skies, prairie grasses, and golden-hour photo ops in every direction. Choose from a myriad of scenic trails that range from easy to difficult. Dyck Arboretum offers botanical paths, native plants, and a quiet pond perfect for lingering. Marion County Lake boasts a sandy swimming beach, a scenic road that winds around the lake, and a historic dam to watch the sunset.

There's plenty of space to wander without seeing anyone else. Wear comfortable shoes and bring your sweetheart. You won't need anything else to feel connected.

Every romantic getaway for couples deserves a dinner you'll remember long after dessert is gone. Parlour 1886, located in our hotel, is cozy, charming, and flavorful. They even have a private room if that’s what you envision.

Try the Monte Cristo or 1886 Burger. Both pair well with a shared appetizer or a glass of wine. Want something richer? Go for the 14oz prime ribeye — tender, juicy, and worth it.

Save room for dessert. You'll love the affogato, carrot cake, or brownie à la mode. After dinner, you're already home. Head upstairs to your suite and let the night unfold naturally.

Pampering is the perfect way to elevate your romantic getaway in Kansas. S&S Med Spa, located just around the corner, offers many services to spoil you. 

They specialize in facials, peels, IV therapy, and even offer full-body chair massages. Their quiet treatment rooms and skilled therapists make it easy to unwind and recharge. 

Spend an hour or two at the spa, then head back to your suite refreshed. You'll both feel more relaxed, and that's precisely what a getaway should offer.

Few date ideas beat sipping wine under the stars. It's simple, peaceful, and completely relaxing. Grace Hill Winery, 40 minutes away in Whitewater, offers vineyard views and casual weekend tastings. Try the semi-sweet Prairie Pink or crisp Vignoles while watching the sun dip behind the vines.

Smoky Hill Vineyards in Salina pours bold blends. It's worth the one-hour drive for wine lovers. Traveling from the east? Stop at Prairie Fire Winery in Paxico for scenic pours and souvenirs.

Wherever you sip, take your time. Wine tastes better when the sky's full of stars.

Looking to mix in a little history or art with your relaxing weekend? We've got options.

The Marion Historical Museum shares stories from prairie days through the present. It's heartfelt, simple, and fascinating. TC’s What Not Shop in Marion is a great stop for gifts and more. You’ll find quilts, candles, lotions, antiques, and signs. TC carries nearly all the little gifts you can imagine, including a bit more.

The Chaplain Kapaun Museum is another museum worth visiting. The museum shares the intriguing story of a war hero and servant of God, Father Emil Kapaun, who gave his life for other prisoners of war. He has been nominated as a saint and was recently named Venerable.

Want a quick detour? Head to Hillsboro’s Pioneer Adobe House just 10 minutes away. Built in 1876 by Mennonite settlers, this cozy home offers a quiet glimpse into early Kansas life.

Looking for something fun and unique? Walk or bike the Sunflower Santa Fe Trail.

This 33-mile rail trail connects Marion and McPherson with prairie views and small-town charm.

Spring brings gravel bike and motorcycle events. Fall getaways mean cooler weather and vibrant Kansas colors. And if your weekend getaway lines up with a local festival, you’re in luck. You’ll enjoy live music together, plus food, local vendors, and a fun community vibe.

Honestly, there’s no wrong time to visit. Every season brings something fresh and worth experiencing. Our travel guide has plenty of things to do in Marion. Be sure to check it out.
