Suggestions for mother/daughter getaway?

I am thinking of surprising my 27 year old daughter (who lives in Minneapolis) with a mother/daughter getaway in early December. She%26#39;s always wanted to do this...so it would be a good surprise. :)

Any suggestions for spas/getaways/outdoorsy places not too long of a drive from Minneapolis?

Thanks!!

I%26#39;ve always wanted to check out the Kohler Resort %26amp; Spa in Wisconsin.

Otherwise the North Shore - from Duluth to the Canadian border is filled with state parks, water falls, rivers, hiking trails, and spots to get massages - outdoor pools, hot tubs, lake views.

Thanks for the suggestions. The first place looks very nice, but a little over our price range I think.

I%26#39;m looking into The Rosewood Inn in Hastings....anyone been there?

Have not spent much time in Hastings.

Stillwater MN is pretty nice too - right on the St. Croix River separating MN from WI.

Maybe a B%26amp;B, and then a Spa?

There are several MN wineries in the area - maybe tour.

Here are some great things we%26#39;ve enjoyed:

Had a great girls weekend at Sundara Spa in the WI Dells. However, I%26#39;d plan to hole up at the spa much of the weekend, as the area is a little dead in the winter. They do have trails on the grounds, and a couple state parks nearby. There is also a casino in the area, and the cool town of Madison is just down the road. Sign up for specials on their Web site and you%26#39;ll probably receive reduced rates around then. (3.5 hrs away)

I would second Stillwater, really lots of everything to choose from in a beautiful, old town (40-60 minutes away). They have great state parks all over that area.

Any of the big lodges up north (within 3 hours) are great getaways now. Many of them offer up great dining along with on-site spas and reduced winter rates. I personally loved Grandview Lodge in Nisswa. You could find out more on ExploreMinnesota.com and check out the northern regions.

Have fun and let us know if you need more help as the date approaches.
