SniqueAway offers its members top brands and A-List accommodations at affordable prices on travel throughout the year. There is no cost to join SniqueAway, but an invitation is required. Membership has it's benefits: refer a friend to book a SniqueAway escape and receive a $25 credit.

You can book either getaways for spur-of-the-moment travel or vacations to be taken at a later date.

Members receive an email with current and future offers. When you spy a dream escape, select the dates you desire on the accompanying calendar and the features and pricing of available room options.

Sales last for seven days, or until the offers sell out. Within a few days of your booking, an email will be sent with the hotel confirmation number.

A current offer is ideal for a romantic autumn getaway. The place? Chateau Elan, situated across 3,500 lush acres in the North Georgia Foothills (think Loire Valley on a small scale!).

This European-styled inn, and full-production winery features a renovated spa (hot stone massages), two championship 18-hole golf courses, a Stan Smith-desiged tennis center, three pools, a 24-hour fitness room, biking and hiking trails, the Viking Culinary Studio, seven restaurants (children under 12 are not permitted in Le Clos restaurant) and Paddy's Irish Pub.

Elegant guest rooms are approximately 408 square-feet with either two double beds or one king and posh bathrooms have an oversized tub.

SniqueAway's deal offers nightly rates from $115 for two persons on Oct. 23-27 and on select dates through Jan. 19. If the $115 rate is not available on your desired dates, mouse over the calendar and an alternative rate will display for each available date. The highest rate I found was $139 nightly, but most available nights price no higher than $125. Rates include self-parking; $10 per night for valet service.

Chateau Elan can be reached via I-85 north. The inn is less than an hour's drive from most of greater Atlanta.
