Instead of wasting hours of your precious time looking for a romantic getaway–whether for a couple of hours or a few days–check out this list to help you zero in on potential destinations. Or, if all else fails, nothing quite beats spending a quiet night at home.
- Lazy Dog Ranch, Sierra Vista

- Quiessence, Phoenix
Quiessence Restaurant/The Farm at South Mountain You’ll pay extra–a whole lot extra–for a meal here but the food is simply exquisite. Plus, a setting like this is perfect for a night for two.
- Kingfisher, Tucson

- Oak Creek Canyon, Sedona

- Mogollon Rim

- Saguaro National Park

- Dinner boat cruise at Canyon Lake
Christopher Rosenberger/Flickr What a view! You can enjoy sights like this while eating dinner on the Dolly Steamboat with your sweetheart at Canyon Lake. You can choose either the sunset dinner cruise or, if you want to enjoy a meal under the stars, the astronomy dinner cruise.
