Once Upon A Cottage in Magical Mansfield

By Elizabeth Clark

We just concluded the sales of our Ohio Romance Escape though Living Social, and we are very pleased with the results. We sold over 140 packages!  Thank you so much for all those who purchased the vouchers. And this is very interesting --Not only did we get couples from Ohio, but also several from the surrounding states --Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Wisconsin, New Jersey, New York and even from far away states as California, Texas, and Florida!  For those who missed out on this special promotion --here's your chance:  For a limited time, we are opening up the sales again.  We have decided to sell 60 more packages of our Dinner-Tour-Romance Getaway at 40% savings!   Call 419-756-2200. and get yours for you and your special one, or for this one special couple you want to surprise. 

Here's your Escape Kit: 

Situated atop a majestic wooded hill, overlooking Ohio's Allegheny Plateau, the country charm and Victorian elegance of the Spruce Hill Inn & Cottages in Mansfield unfold like the opening of a real-life fairy tale—with everything from cottage to castle. Escape the real world for a fantasy fit for a princess and her Prince Charming with a two-night stay for two in a Jacuzzi Cottage, complete with an enchanting romance package.

For your own once-upon-a-time, visit Mondays through Thursdays ($249) or Fridays through Sundays ($299). You'll receive a king's welcome with sparkling juice served in keepsake flutes along with candles, bath salts, and rose petals to accent your in-room Jacuzzi. The Jacuzzi Cottages' king- and queen-size beds, skylight windows, scenic decks or bay-window areas, private grills, and kitchenettes stocked with kitchenware will leave you wishing for little else.

Don your glass slippers for an included tour of nearby Malabar Farm's "Big House," former home of Pulitzer Prize-winning conservationist Louis Bromfield. Here, Bromfield penned his most famous works, Pleasant Valley and Malabar Farm. The house also hosted the honeymooning Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.

After the tour, you'll enjoy an included dinner for two at Malabar Farm Restaurant, which uses farm-fresh, local ingredients to prepare dishes like blackened salmon in saffron aioli and filet mignon topped with Maytag bleu cheese. And if you're concerned about turning back into a pumpkin at an early morning hour, never fear the clock—a late noon checkout is included.

Find your happily-ever-after today—because like all good stories, this tale also has to end.
