Sometimes, the little cubicle getaway rooms next to Grandpa’s Cheese Barn outside of Ashland Ohio just don’t cut it as a romantic weekend getaway. (You can see them right off of I-71). I thought about writing an article about awesome hotels in Mexico, or exotic castle hotels around the world, but, dear reader, I settled on something we would all find much more accessible- Romantic Weekend Getaways in Ohio.
Inn & Spa at Cedar Falls – Romantic Inn in Hocking Hills, Ohio
Our dear founder Cindy has stayed at the Inn at Cedar Falls in Hocking Hills (read full review). Its pleasant, quiet surroundings, coupled with its many secluded and individual cabins allows couples to focus on just each other. The grounds are near many local attractions like, you guessed it, Cedar Falls, and Old Man’s Cave. The Inn at Cedar Falls provides a romantic getaway a couple few hours from Akron, OH, just South East of Columbus.
What kind of couple is this romantic weekend getaway in Ohio good for: The always on the go couple who just needs to disconnect from the world.
Shaw’s Restaurant and Inn – a Small Town Downtown Getaway
Located in downtown Lancaster, Ohio, a few hours from Akron Shaw’s Restaurant and Inn, this place focuses on the food and atmosphere! Located on a charming tree filled square, the restaurant, Corky’s bar, and downtown smalltown atmosphere gives you plenty to take in and talk about. Hide away in their wonderful guestrooms at night! Shaws Inn on the web.
What kind of couple is this good for: The couple that lives their lives so close together that they have nothing to talk about but life, work and family most days- Fill your minds and bellies with something new- and talk about it all night!
Glenlaurel- A Scottish Country Inn, an Ohio Romantic Bed and Breakfast
This adult only bed and breakfast has been labeled the “premier romantic getaway in the Midwest.” Sounds good- haven’t been there yet myself- but would like to go! Glenlaurel is located in the Hocking Hills just like the other two above, the décor looks lovely, the dining room amazing, and the old world charm I hope pops more than I can tell from reading their website!
What kind of couple is this good for: Folks who think the grass is greener in the British Isles, or for the couple who has tried the rest and wants something different!
The Inn at Dresden- A Romantic Weekend / Social Getaway in Ohio
When I started this post, I thought it would be tough to find differences between luxury Inns throughout Ohio. But it turns out, each really does have its own charm. The Inn at Dresden, for example is a sprawling place with decks, hideaways, jacuzzi, and more. Built by the Longaberger Basket (can I say tycoon? lol) The Inn at Dresden seems to be a more SOCIAL place- a place to chat with the Inn keeper, meet with friends and other guests, and enjoy a social outing.
What kind of couple is the Inn at Dresden good for? A chatty couple who lives in the woods who needs to get out and socialize on the weekend!!
Whispering Pines Bed and Breakfast at Atwood Lake, Ohio
With only nine spacious guest rooms appointed with top notch antique furnishings and high levels of detail, and combined with a beautiful spot on the sprawling Atwood Lake- I have to say that Whispering Pines Bed and Breakfast looks like one of the romantic weekend getaways in Ohio most pleasing to the eye. All of the headboards in the rooms look darling, and extremely romantic. I can’t wait to visit this place- and being at Atwood Lake, it’s a little closer than the also beautiful Hocking Hills locations.
What kind of couple is Whispering Pines good for: Those that appreciate visual splendor!
The Inn at Honey Run – An Amish Country Bed and Breakfast in Ohio
Our lead blogger Cindy stayed at the Inn at Honey Run last year. Read her full review here. Located in the middle of Amish Country outside of Millersburg, Ohio- get easy access to all that is Amish (except Sundays) in Millersburg, but retreat to this luxurious location in the woods at the end of the day. One thing that the Inn at Honey Run focuses on is maintaining and finding a way to bring birds of every feather together at this location. Binoculars are easy to get a hold of, and the staff feeds the birds in countless locations daily.
What kind of couple will enjoy the Inn at Honey Run? – Amish Country visitors, Bird Watchers, those that like to be spoiled.
Glidden House – Cleveland Ohio Romantic Boutique Hotel
Lets head into the city, shall we? The Glidden House is a mansion built in 1910 sitting on the Case Western Reserve Campus near University Circle in Cleveland, Ohio. I’ve come across this place again and again, and there is something about it that is just alluring. Maybe it’s the fancy museums within walking distance, maybe it’s the college nearby, maybe its just because all of the pictures exude opulence.
The Glidden House hotel is for couples who want a night out on the town, and a follow up day in the art museum.
The Castle Inn Bed and Breakfast – near Columbus, Ohio
The Castle Inn, in Circleville Ohio greats its visitors with the opulence of a great stone edifice- wide stair cases, and plenty of romance options. Their romance options are significantly heavier than those of other inns- with a dozen lit candles in your room upon arrival, rose petals on the bed, flowers, roses, massages and more! If you focus on the romance- you have me there!
Who is this good for: Couples focusing on each other- in the room.
Gervasi Vineyards- North Canton, Ohio
Honestly, this Romantic Getaway in Ohio is in our backyard, and I only think I remember my father in law talking about it. What a find! The Gervasi Vineyards-and Inn, is a memorable destination for local wine lovers, Italian Food lovers, and local hot spot aficionados. They tout that Gervasi is a place where beauty, tradition, comfort and appreciation for wine, luxurious quarters and fresh food connect. The onsite winery is a day trip in and of itself! Read our full review here.
What couple should spend the night at Gevasi Vineyards: Those that don’t mind overdoing it!
Water’s Edge Retreat – a Romantic Weekend Getaway on Kelley’s Island, Ohio
A Bed and Breakfast is usually only as friendly as the proprietors. Water’s Edge Retreat focuses on the relationship between food, the owners, and you the guests. And better, you , the repeat guest(they offer discounts for repeat stays). With culinary skills refined across Europe and the Caribbean, the Inn boasts elaborate breakfast feasts. What’s best, is this place is on the island! Can’t beat the views.
What kind of couple is this for: the most “stressed out executive” or “frazzled parent” , or the couple who wants to experience the food! Yum!
