A Romantic Getaway 6 Hours from St. Cloud

By Alayna Jaye Feb 23, 2021 | 7:10 AM

Turning 28 wasn’t something I was excited about. #1 because birthdays after you turn 21 aren’t that exciting and #2 because with COVID the usual birthday plans of going to a bar drinking and dancing all night wasn’t an option. However my fiancee, Melissa, made my 28th birthday the best birthday I’ve ever had all thanks to Tik Tok.

About a month ago we saw a video on Tik Tok talking about the Sybaris hotel. It showed a suite with its own 16 foot pool, a hot tub, a steam room, massage chairs, and more! With COVID limiting travel and trying to keep our distance from others, it seemed like this hotel was the best solution to have fun, but also stay safe.

There are a couple different Sybaris locations in Wisconsin and Illinois, but we booked a stay at the Mequon, Wisconsin location, which is about 20 minutes from Milwaukee. You might be thinking, why would anyone want to vacation in Wisconsin? Well, even though there isn’t much touristy stuff to do there, the whole point of staying there is for the room and yes, the room was worth it!

Here’s a mini video tour of the room: 

A couple things that didn’t make it into the video:

  1. The pool has a waterfall switch where water will fall from the ceiling onto the pool. 
  2. There are mirrors EVERYWHERE including on the ceiling. There’s even a switch to turn on “stars” in the ceiling mirror. (Pictured below)
  3. Bluetooth speakers in both the bedroom and the pool room so you can listen to music to “set the mood.” 
  4. A little mini bar including a fridge, microwave, and a bag of ice already in the freezer. Plus, they had a corkscrew in the room to help open wine. 
  5. Numerous towels (like 6 per person), which meant no room service would be needed for DAYS. 

Yes, this room really did have it all! It’s a great place to celebrate a birthday or an anniversary. If you’re looking for a close by romantic getaway where you can disconnect from the real world for a weekend and be one on one with your partner, I highly suggest Sybaris
