Where to get up close and personal with your sweetheart

Just in time for Valentine planning, we asked readers for favorite honeymoon hideaways.

• "I love the honeymoon cabin at Illahee Manor Bed & Breakfast Estate (6680 Illahee Road N.E., Bremerton). It was built from the wood on the property by the original owner and is a cozy place for two to snuggle up and enjoy a romantic interlude. The managers are great at making sure your unique requests are met, too."

— Robb Zerr, Melbourne, Fla.

• "We spent our wedding night at Thornewood Castle (8601 N. Thorne Lane S.W., Lakewood, Pierce County). We stayed in the Presidential Suite. The room had a tall four-poster bed, 16th century stained-glass window insets, a Jacuzzi tub and a lovely view of American Lake. We felt as though we were visiting some remote Bavarian estate." — Cathy Hall, Tacoma

• "Big Red Barn Bed and Breakfast (309 V St., Port Townsend) has a great Jacuzzi, comfy bed and a cute yard. The best part is that it's a two-minute walk to Fort Worden State Park and a picnic on the beach." — Sarah Keller, Kalama

• "My husband and I spent our eight-day honeymoon (and also our fifth anniversary) at Humboldt House Bed and Breakfast Inn (867 Humboldt St., Victoria, B.C.). Delicious breakfast delivered to your room in a wicker basket, wood-burning fireplace, Jacuzzi tub, walking distance to all the interesting things in downtown Victoria. Very romantic!" — Michelle Walter, Bothell

• "The Shelburne Inn (4415 Pacific Way, Seaview) is [among] the oldest hotels in Washington. Rooms are furnished with antiques. No room phones or TVs. Gourmet breakfast included. Many fine dining experiences nearby including The Shoalwater Restaurant in the hotel."

— Jim Harris, Issaquah
