Winter is just a hard season to be romantic.

There's little reason to risk the romance when you're swaddled in layers of skivvies, sweat pants, sweaters and scarves trying to keep warm.

And yet, there's so much potential for romance in winter! The indisposition of Jack Frost's perilous playground outside can make for a steamy setting indoors - cuddling with your someone under blankets or near the fireplace, drinking hot cocoa (or something a little more adult), watching Netflix or the snow fall outside. You'd be surprised how quickly things can heat up when the temperatures cool down!

So here are five cozy Minnesota cabins to retreat to for a long winter weekend with your special someone:

My wife and I spent our honeymoon here in July. A manageable four-hour drive from the Cities, the route along the North Shore was beautifully picturesque. Miles from anyone else and set on Nine Mile Lake, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect week away together. Winter here must be stunning.

Cost: $233 per night
