Eden's Keep
More of a unique, intimate experience for romantic retreats, Eden's Keep offers room architecture that mirrors the surrounding rocky environment of Utah. The owners pride themselves on close, individualized attention. Eden's Keep describes its rooms as "fully sculpted environments." The lavish, livable artwork is unlike most any room that you may have stayed in. The facility prides itself on offering top-notch service and will begin by offering romantic perks like chocolates and flowers. The staff will also help set up activities like golf times. In addition to service, room offerings like Intelligel bed, kitchenette, hand-hammered copper tub, 46-inch flat-screen television and surround sound make the stay as comfortable, if not more comfortable, than home. At the time this article was published in 2009, Eden's Keep was a new property only offering one room: the double-occupancy Escalante Suite. However, the property was in the process of adding additional rooms. A stay here should definitely earn some points with the significant other, even if you spend most of the day on the golf course.
