Your Romantic Maine Getaway

1 - Romantic Anticipation

Let the anticipation build. Tell your partner you've planned a romantic getaway and when, but hold off on the where. Then, a couple of weeks or more ahead of time tell them where. Then together you can enjoy the anticipation of your romantic getaway.

2 - Romantic Arrival

First impressions make a big difference for a romantic getaway. Therefore, do two things. First, make sure you've selected a romantic location. Second, add some romance to the room for when you walk in by ordering:

  • Fresh flowers

  • Some bubbly

  • Chocolate covered strawberries

At the Wolf Cove Inn, we have you covered on both fronts. With our beautiful, lakeside setting on Tripp Lake, you'll find many really romantic spots in and around the Inn. Furthermore, we have plenty of add-ons and packages to kick up the romance for your visit, including flowers, bubbly, and chocolate.

3 - Romantic Room

A glass of wine in front of your in-room fireplace. A soothing, relaxing dip in your spa tub for two. The haunting call of the loons echoing up through your lake view windows. Or if secluded romance is your cup of tea, our Eagle's Nest Cabin offers rocking chairs on your own private porch from which you can enjoy our spectacular sunsets.

4 - Romantic Spa Tub

Did we mention we have jetted spa tubs for two? Our Sugarloaf Mountain Suite, Acadia Suite and Mt Katahdin suite all fit the bill. Even better, the Sugarloaf Mountain Suite spa tub provides great views of Tripp Lake.

5 - Romantic Dinner

Imagine you have the restaurant to yourself all night. Further imagine the restaurant sits right at the water's edge. And finally, imagine that your entree of Duck With Port Wine Cherry Sauce is served just as the sun is setting. Sounds pretty good, right? Well, if you are here on our Diamond Elopement Package or as a honeymooner with the Ultimate Honeymoon Package, that's what you will enjoy with your Ultimate Romance Dinner. This four-course meal, with wine pairing, is served in our Boathouse Bistro right at the edge of Tripp Lake.

6 - Romantic Breakfast

We offer three ways to enjoy a romantic breakfast. Your own table for two in our dining room offers panoramic views of Tripp Lake. Or you may enjoy breakfast in our Sun Porch overlooking the lake and the Boathouse Bistro. Finally, you have the option to enjoy breakfast in bed in your romantic room.

8 - Romantic Sunset

I've waited this long to talk about one of the most romantic things you can do? Sunsets over Tripp Lake are fabulously romantic. From many romantic perches around the Wolf Cove Inn, you have uncluttered views of the sun setting over the far shore of Tripp Lake. Truly a thing of beauty.

9 - Romantic Firepit

Wait, sunsets can get better? Yes, they can! Enjoy the sunset on a chilly fall evening with the warmth of our lakeside firepit. And don't forget the s'mores. You'll find them in our sun porch. And, of course, they are complimentary.

10 - Romantic Adventures

Grab some paddles and head out onto the quiet waters of Tripp Lake with your best friend. We have (complimentary) canoes and kayaks to get you out amongst the loons on the lake. Canoeing at sunset anyone?

11 - Romantic Time Together

Deep romance builds when you spend quality, alone time together. One night away is a great date night. But extend that away time to two, three or four days and now you're talking. At Wolf Cove Inn we have two, three and four-night special romance packages that save you more the longer you stay.
