love nest
Cozy couple's hideaway
A love nest is a private place where lovers meet, especially for a secret or illicit affair.
The term suggests intimacy and seclusion—a cozy hideaway for romantic encounters: The tabloids discovered the senator's love nest in Georgetown.
It can also describe any couple's intimate retreat, though the connotation of secrecy persists.
