If you and your partner are overdue for some romantic time alone, there are some Minnesota towns I'd like to tell you about. These towns were just named some of the best, lesser-known towns in the country for a romantic getaway.

The Best Lesser-Known Romantic Getaway Spots in the US

There's a total of 175 towns that are on the list and it's all based on a survey of 3,000 couples.

The survey was done by a travel expert company called Honeymoon Always. They wanted to "find out which lesser-known romantic destinations [couples] would most like to visit".

Minnesota Best, Lesser-Known Romantic Getaways

If you're wanting to take a romantic getaway but don't want to leave the state of Minnesota, we've got you! The survey revealed four lesser-known romantic getaways in our state.

As a Minnesotan, I was well aware of all of them. Most are smaller towns so I understand that to others they're likely lesser-known. There is one on the list that makes me laugh thinking someone thinks it's a lesser-known town. However, it's a great spot for a romantic getaway so I'm glad it's on the list.

Coming in at number four in Minnesota and 156 on the full list is Grand Marais.

Number three in Minnesota and 148 overall goes to Red Wing.

Number two in Minnesota and 112 overall is... Duluth, which makes me giggle that it's on a list of "lesser-known" towns. But like I said, Duluth is a great spot for a romantic getaway, so we can't be too mad it's on the list.

And finally, the number one best, lesser-known romantic getaway in Minnesota and number 56 overall is Stillwater!
