ISO great property within 3-ish hours of DC

[Anonymous]

Want to go luxuriate and relax for my birthday in a few months: looking for a property with great food, an excellent spa, and bonus points for a golf course. Do not want to have to go anywhere else. Can spend a few thousand for the weekend but really, really do not want to feel like the money is wasted: I’m looking for excellent service.

I posted asking about the Omni Homestead in Hot Springs and now nervous that this will not be a great experience.

Open to your suggestions, thank you!

My snobby friend prefers Nemacolin of the locally drivable ones.

If you want legitimately great food, the Inn at Little Washington is really your only choice.

I think you'll be disappointed with the Omni and Nemacolin. I haven't been to Salamander but agree you should investigate it.

Would you consider flying somewhere? I feel like a variation of this question has been asked so many times over the years and the consensus is it doesn't exist.

4S Baltimore if you give up the golf?

The Greenbrier might be a good fit. I think it is a slightly shorter drive as well.

I’d go to Woodloch if it were me. Pricey though.

The lodge at woodloch, that is.

Blackberry Farm if you’re willing to hike a bit farther out.

When/what month?

You can fly to Charleston and stay at The Sanctuary (oceanfront, excellent golf, and foodie restaurants—especially in Charleston).

my family had a wonderful experience at Omni Homestead. Found the rooms very comfortable, enjoyed all the amenities and the spa was great. I would not hesitate to go back.
