Slow Down and Soak It In: Restore, Reflect, and Reconnect
Indulge in Relaxation
After a morning of coffee and calm, it’s time to head downtown for something extra special. Book a couple’s treatment at a nearby spa. The setting is peaceful, the staff is kind, and you’ll leave feeling brand new. Slip into soft robes and let the massage therapist’s soothing touch release your stress from your daily routine. Choose one or two treatments or make a day of it. We’ve partnered with Ahlara International Day Spa to provide a 10% discount for Davidson Village Inn guests.
Breathe Deep and Wander
Need a way to stretch your legs and breathe in some fresh air? Try one of these trails around Lake Norman. There’s no rush to be anywhere. And the Alder Trail is an easy, short trek around the lake. It’s open year-round and offers lovely views of the water. Slow down and savor each moment together, reconnecting, laughing, and simply enjoying each other’s company.
End the Day the Slow Way—with Wine and Connection
End your afternoon with a glass of wine while you relax in our lobby or in the comfort of your room. Ease into the evening, reminiscing between sips. This escape is all about the two of you. Unplugging from all your screentime and irritating interruptions, you’ll continue to feel your body and mind refuel. Trust us, it’s not about packing the day. It’s about being together.
Craft Your Perfect Day: Adventure, Flavor, and Time Together
Saddle Up for Scenic Adventure
Sometimes the most relaxing thing to do is to get outdoors on a new adventure. Saddle up on a trail ride at Painted Sky Ranch. It spans 130 acres and offers wide-open trails. No experience is needed. Their friendly staff will guide you with each hoofbeat. Horseback riding together adds something adventurous and lighthearted to your weekend. Check out the special rates for Davidson Village Inn guests.
Savor Local Flavor and Finds
If riding isn’t your thing, there’s more to explore. Stop by the farmers market, where fresh produce and delicious treats await. You’ll find honey from local beekeepers. Homemade soaps and other artisan crafts make fun, unique gifts (or little treasures just for you). Don’t forget to stop at Your Moms Donuts to taste some of the most amazing donuts you’ll ever have—guaranteed!
Crave a Little Excitement?
Prefer something active? Head over to The Indoor Pit in Mooresville. Need to get rid of some frustration? Try axe-throwing. Have the need for speed? Hop on a go-kart and race around the track. Compete, laugh, and shake off the week. An afternoon at The Indoor Pit is playful, energetic, and a little unexpected.
A Table for Two: The Perfect Culinary Finale
As the day winds down, snag a cozy table for two. Choose lL Bosco for seasonal Italian dishes served in a quiet, romantic space. Flatiron Kitchen + Smokehouse brings bold American flavors — think wood-smoked meats and local brews. If you crave Mexican cuisine, Mestizo will not disappoint. The menu is inspired by the vibrant food culture of Mexico City. Dinner is the perfect way to toast to time well spent. Check out our favorite selection of restaurants that partner with us and provide a 10% discount for Davidson Village Inn guests.
