For those considering a peaceful weekend getaway, we’ve put together a few of the reasons to celebrate Valentine’s in Davidson, NC. Don’t worry if you can’t get away February 14.

Small Town Charm

Whether you’re strolling down Main Street or exploring the campus at Davidson College, the absence of hustle and bustle makes Davidson the ideal place for you and your partner to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the simplicity of just being together.
Romantic Scenery
Location is everything, and the scenery in and around Davidson provides the perfect backdrop for a romantic retreat.

At sunset, head over to Jetton Park to enjoy the magnificent view reflected in the sparkling waters of Lake Norman. Those are just a few of the picturesque places for you to explore in Davidson.
Inspiring Gift Options
The abundance of storefronts in downtown Davidson makes finding the right Valentine’s Day present a breeze. Stop by Davidson Provision Company, an outdoor retailer and general store in one, or browse the incredible selection of tailored fashions at MINE by Sandy boutique shop. Any trip to Davidson calls for stopping into our Village Store where you’ll find an amazing variety of gifts in a charming setting. Of course, it wouldn’t be Valentine’s Day without a decadent box of chocolates, so we recommend stopping by the Davidson Chocolate Company. Featuring a wide variety of signature truffles and hand-crafted confections, they’ve got something to satisfy every sweet tooth.
