Make her your Valentine with an intoxicating & romantic experience

Posted by Carlanne on January 27, 2010

Make her your Valentine with an intoxicating & romantic experience at Milliken Creek Inn & Spa….

For this 2010 Valentine’s Day, Milliken Creek Inn & Spa is introducing a rather intoxicating romance package just in time for Valentine’s Day: “Be Mine This Valentine’s”. 

This package, starting at $800* midweek, per couple, for a two-night stay in a Milliken Room.  The “heart” of this new package is a brand new spa treatment, a fragrantly hydrating 90-minute Chocolate Decadence Massage per person; and of course, a customized Valentine’s Day turndown treat of chocolate-covered strawberries, a bottle of chilled champagne, and a plethora of lit votive candles scattered throughout the room  is also part of the package offering. A lovely array of aromatherapy bath products and L’Occitane amenities complete an evening of total bliss. The package also includes a daily gourmet breakfast for two–think fluffy quiche and delicate scones with fresh fruit and freshly brewed coffee served in-room, or anywhere on property.
