Ivy in Baltimore? I haven’t stayed there but it looks nice.

Four Seasons in Philly is nice. Do dinner there or at one of the Stephen Starr restaurants. Go to Longwood gardens on the way there or back.

We did a weekend at ILW this fall and 2 nights and 1 dinner was more than $5k. Maybe midweek prices in winter are lower? Super nice though!

Primland is supposed to be lovely.

Really loved Blue Rock Inn in Rappahannock County. Did dinner one night at the Inn and the next night at 3 Blacksmiths. Hiked old Rag during the day.

The Tides Inn, in Irvington VA

What about the Lodge at Woodloch?

Salamander is trash, it has gone seriously down hill. Go to the Omni Homestead instead.

Looking for something within driving distance to splurge for a big birthday/anniversary for a couple of nights.

I know people have mentioned Salamander. Is that still a thing? Any other ideas? Under 1000/night (midweek is fine). Good food, quiet, nature.
