Life in DC can be hectic. \u00a0There are always meetings, dinners, networking events to go to. \u00a0The fast-paced life is fun, but it’s great to take a little escape from time to time. \u00a0When my friend Lacey invited me for a weekend escape at Natural Retreats<\/a> at Hot Springs, VA, I couldn’t turn it down. \u00a0Natural Retreats is an upscale vacation rental with a gorgeous portfolio of homes from Virginia to the Canary Islands.<\/p>\n

All about our Natural Retreats getaway<\/h2>\n

Getting there:<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0We left Washington, DC on a Friday at 6pm. \u00a0We were a little nervous about hitting traffic, but thankfully, it was a painless and scenic route as we entered the Shenandoah Mountains. \u00a0It took us exactly four hours to arrive with very little traffic. \u00a0Thankfully my navigator, Carlis, and I were belting out old Luis Miguel sappy Spanish love songs and having fun.<\/p>\n

\"Natural<\/a>
Our Dining Room for the Weekend<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The house:<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0We arrived late and tired but were quickly taken by the beautiful Natural Retreats house! \u00a0We decided to cook the night of arrival and took advantage of the large outdoor grill and the spacious kitchen which was a cook’s dream.\u00a0\u00a0I had Korean beef ribs marinating in a cooler in the car, which was great as we just had to throw them on the grill. \u00a0We also grilled corn, made a salad loaded with veggies, and couscous as a side dish. \u00a0Dining Traveler Tip: opt for simple recipes when staying at a rental home. \u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Natural<\/a>
At the Hot Springs Farmer’s Market with Morgan & Carlis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The house had three rooms which was perfect for our group of 5. \u00a0I loved that each room had its own bathroom, which is great for a large family or a group of friends. \u00a0My biggest takeaway from our Natural Retreats experience was that no detail was spared. \u00a0We were welcomed with local eggs and milk, the pantry was loaded with condiments, and a beautiful welcome basket. \u00a0Other great details include high speed wi-fi, great toiletries, and plenty of information on what to see and do in the area. Tip: The wine selection in the area is quite limited, if you have certain favorites, pick them up on your way to Hot Springs.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What to do:<\/em><\/strong> \u00a0Although there is a beautiful golf course, hot springs, and a pool nearby, we were all pretty tried and decided to hang out at the house. \u00a0The one thing we did enjoy was going to the local farmer’s market. \u00a0The stands were lined with beautiful flowers, handmade soaps, fruits, and vegetables. \u00a0 There was a local man playing the banjo in the background as locals mingled and chatted with one another.<\/p>\n

\"Natural<\/a>
Dinner at Le Cochons d’Or<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Where to Eat:<\/strong> <\/em>\u00a0We made all of our meals at home but decided to splurge on a dinner at Les Cochons d’Or, a quaint restaurant on the Main Street of Hot Springs, VA. \u00a0The restaurant is quite popular with the after-golf crowd, but the Natural Retreats concierge made sure we had a nice table.\u00a0 It is owned by a husband and wife team who also happen to be a chef and sommelier, respectively. \u00a0We enjoyed a delicious french onion soup, followed by the ultimate indulgence: pancetta wrapped pork tenderloin. Delicious. \u00a0We culminated our dinner with a selection of local cheese paired with a homemade brittle. Great company, plenty of ros\u00e9, and beautiful atmosphere made for a gorgeous dinner.<\/p>\n

\"Natural<\/a>
Hanging out in the beautiful porch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Verdict:<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0For city dwellers like us, this is the ultimate escape. \u00a0Beautiful nature, gorgeous home, and a warm fire pit brings you back to basics. \u00a0This is one of those places which reminds you to take in the country air and allow room for new ideas to flow in without the distractions. \u00a0Beautiful house, impeccable service, and gorgeous views. \u00a0If you need a break from the city, this is a must. \u00a0Now hoping to find a way to one of the Natural Retreats properties in the Canary Islands or Ireland!<\/p>\n
