This month my husband and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary in the most incredible and unique way. We stepped outside of our comfort zone or typical getaway experience for something one-of-a-kind and exciting. It was an adventure that definitely brought us many laughs and closer as a couple. I cannot wait to share it with you!
Located just about 1 hour from our home in Columbus, Ohio is the charming historic small town of Mount Vernon. This town has been rated one of “Ohio’s best hometowns” and I can definitely understand why, it is adorable!
Nestled on a quiet street just outside of the little downtown area, is a gorgeous old mansion. This is where our romantic adventure began!
When we first arrived, we easily found convenient parking across the street. Checking into our suite was also a breeze. All we had to do was enter our code, which had been sent to us previously. I highly recommend getting there right at check-in time (5 pm) so you can get your adventure started right away!
Walking into the house for the first time, we were absolutely blown away. It is stunning!
Another thing I noticed right away was how clean and new everything felt.
Our suite was on the second floor and when we entered, our minds were blown once again!
The adventure/room we chose was the Genie Suite. Themed like an Arabian night’s fairy tale come true, this treasure-filled suite comes with many private rooms and experiences:
The Karaoke Room
The Billion Bubbles Bubble Jet Tub
The Aladdin Massage Room
The Bucking Bronco Flying Carpet Selfie Room
The Sultan Foot Massage Couch
The Chocolate Fondue Room
The Legendary Flying Carpet Bed (It actually flies, except when you are sleeping!).
We could not believe the level of detail and creativity put into every aspect of the decoration in our room. The more we explored, the more we discovered that every object and decorative detail in our room had meaning, and could potentially help us solve clues as we went along. We really felt like we had been transported somewhere else, and from the start, it was incredibly romantic.
Right away we got to exploring our room and had fun working together to figure out all the clues to unlock new rooms and experiences.
Throughout the entire stay, we had so much fun just being silly and flirty with each other. By solving clues, we discovered an entire private playhouse of tunnels, trap doors, and secret rooms right inside our suite! We could not get over how much there was to do and how elaborate it all was.
After an hour or so of exploring our suite, we decided to take a break to get dinner and explore the town.
We had a delicious and elegant dinner at The Alcove. Then we walked around the town until it started to get dark.
When we arrived back at the mansion we spent some time sitting and talking in the beautiful gardens out back before going inside to continue our adventure.
We found a few more hidden rooms and then the most exciting surprise of all. Our bed actually flew! It was just like the magic carpet ride in Alladin and my husband and I laughed harder than we have in forever, it was so much fun! When the bed isn’t in motion it is extremely comfortable and we slept very soundly that night. Our room was very quiet and cozy.
The next morning we enjoyed coffee and breakfast snacks that had been left in the room for us. It was a very peaceful and relaxing morning. We were sad to leave and cannot wait to come back! There are two other suites in the mansion, and we are dying to try the King Louis XIV Suite!
I cannot recommend Romantic Adventure Getaways enough! We are telling all our couple friends to come stay here, and I have to encourage you to do the same! You and your partner will have such a fun and romatic time unlike anything else you have ever experienced. This isn’t something we would typically do so thank you so so much Romantic Adventure Getaways for hosting us! It was the perfect way to celebrate our first wedding anniversary.
