St. George is a great spot for a quick getaway. Unless you already live there, St. George is likely far enough away from your home to feel like a real vacation, but close enough that you can get there quickly so you can start relaxing!

Seven Wives Inn has a 4.5 star rating on Travelocity, and it has an interesting Utah history. Built in 1873, the home served as a hiding place for polygamists after polygamy was outlawed in 1882.
