For romance, how about crashing surf and a "Teddy-Roosevelt-stayed here" shingle cottage perched on a cliff on Mount Desert Island?

A super cool place to spend the hottest summer months, and an investment you can really enjoy. Contact Story Litchfield,slitchfield@landvest.com, 207-276-3840.

The Pinnacle is a late 19th century Great Camp on a perfect point of land on Lake Champlain, with a two-story living room opening up to a balconied gallery: all the romance of the Victorian era, completely unspoiled. Contact Wade Weathers, wweathers@landvest.com,802-651-5392 for a private tour.

Prefer a romantic Vermont farm for your private getaway?

Want to bring your toothbrush (and maybe your horses and skis, too, the snowcat is already there) and enjoy the country in perfectly done comfort? And, would you like to purchase the property for 22% off its purchase price of over a decade ago? Check out Uphill Farm in Woodstock, Vermont, the Gentlemans Farm, perfected, and definitely take a look at the video and then contact Ruth Kennedy Sudduth, rsudduth@landvest.com, 617-359-5584.

How about complete privacy, and a very cool Vermont mountaintop location?

Sweet Farms, 500+ acres amid 6,000+ acres of conservation land, at the end of a private drive at the end of a dirt road. Cant get more private than that. And for romance and cool factor? 180 degree views, a completely redone house, a great barn and guesthouse, and miles of trails, streams and waterfalls. Even cooler? A great value at $1.75 million.

Like the hilltop but have to please a serious horse person in your life (or an astronomer)?

How about your own private mountaintop? at the end of a mile-long driveway. Theres a 20-stall barn and an indoor arenaand an observatory, too! Ask Wade Weathers, wweathers@landvest.com, 802-651-5392
