Cook County, Minnesota

Calling all adrenaline junkies: Cook County, Minnesota is the perfect place for you. This Valentine’s Day, explore the area’s beautiful state parks (there are several), and end the action-packed day with s’mores by the fire as you spot the northern lights from afar.   

Where to Stay: There aren’t many hotels nearby; instead, consider renting an Airbnb, where you can enjoy uninterrupted peace and quiet, snuggle up with your significant other, and enjoy a romantic night in (the only thing you have to do is cook). We love this Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired lakefront cottage.
