Staycation at Pheasant Run

Take a much-needed break with your better half.

Are you and your spouse in desperate need of a weekend getaway, but you don't want to be too far from home and the kids? Head over to the Pheasant Run Resort in nearby St. Charles for a luxurious, relaxing and fun overnight stay.

Pheasant Run Resort is celebrating Mardi Gras every Saturday in March, so you can experience the excitement of New Orleans without making the long trip to the Big Easy.

The resort's Mardi Gras Getaway Package includes overnight accommodations in one of its deluxe rooms, Mardi Gras mask and bead making, participation in the Second Line Parade on the resort's "Bourbon Street," and access to the resort's amenities. A caricature artist, a balloon artist, a stilt walker, a psychic and a tarot card reader will make your stay memorable and romantic. The Mardi Gras package starts at $119 per night.

If New Orleans and Mardi Gras aren't your thing, try one of the resort's romance packages.

The Whirlwind Romance Package starts at $219 per night and includes deluxe accommodations, breakfast or brunch for two, a $50 dinner credit, a bottle of champagne and strawberries delivered to your room, and all of the hotel's amenities.

If you really need some serious relaxation, book a Romantic Rendezvous Package for two. This package includes deluxe accommodations and turndown service, two 50-minute massages at the Mario Tricoci Hair Salon & Day Spa (a Signature massage, a Deep-Tissue massage or a Hot Stone Therapy massage), a Mario Tricoci gift bag, a $50 dining voucher that can be used at any of the resort's restaurants and breakfast or Sunday brunch for two.

Pheasant Run Resort offers a number of onsite amenities, including Zanies Comedy Club, two live professional theaters, the upscale Harvest restaurant, a Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shop, several casual restaurants and lounges, an indoor/outdoor pool, and whirlpool and penthouse suites.

Weather-permitting, guests can also golf on the award-winning Pheasant Run Golf Course. If you've never visited Pheasant Run Resort, you'll love the quaint setting and beautiful scenery of this gem that's nestled in the Fox River Valley.
