Looking to surprise my family and take them on a 2-3 night mini vacation over New Years. Need a dog friendly place with an outside hot tub. Anyone know of anything decent under $100/per night within 5-6 hours of Akron, OH? Was looking at Morehead, KY, WV, VA, Southern Ohio and PA. Anyone know of something they've been to or know of?
Thanks for not answering the question. No, there is usually a 3 night min.

Answer
Most of the state parks in Ohio rent cabins. My favorite is Deer Creek State Park. The cabins are stocked with kitchen ware and linens as well as fire wood and are pet friendly. They are a little more than 100 per night, BUT if you have children, there is a special rate for good grades. $10 off per A up to $40 total off. That would bring the rate to around 85 to 95 per night. There is also a lodge with a restaurant, bar, gift shop and indoor pool available to cabin guests.

Most state parks with cabin rental have the same deals. Deer Creek is just my favorite because of the view of the lake and seclusion. It is 40 minutes south of Columbus.

Does anyone know of a good honeymoon location? We are from Cleveland, Ohio and looking to drive?

My fiancee and I are near Cleveland, Ohio. We are getting married May 8, 2010. Were wanting to go on a honeymoon but we are unsure where. We are thinking about going to the beach but we aren't too sure. Does anyone have any suggestions on places where we can drive to in one day?

Answer
I love Niagara Falls, but I'm not certain that I see it as a honeymoon location in May as it will be awfully chilly.

Here are some Ohio possibilities:

1) How does a cozy cabin with a hot tub amid what many believe is the most beautiful place in Ohio sound? You'll also have great spring hikes available, as well as outdoor activities such as horseback riding, canoeing, boating, and even zip-lining. And you could throw in a safari tour at the Wilds!

How about this for a honeymoon picture to show your kids?

2) Bogart and Bacall were married and honeymooned at Malabar Farm. You can't stay there (you can, but you probably don't want a hostel for a honeymoon), but you can visit their love lair and stay nearby in the only Ohio state park lodge run by the same corporation that runs the famous lodges in national parks. You'll have available an indoor Olympic-sized pool, horseback riding, hikes, canoeing, a carousel and nearby is Ohio Amish country. And there might even be a square dance at Malabar Farm during your stay!

3) If you want an urban honeymoon, consider the German Village Guest House. You can visit the Columbus Zoo, often ranked as the best in the country, dine at German Village's very romantic restaurants, stroll through Schiller Park, and dance through the night on the Short North. For something different, take a Segway Tour of Columbus.

At Hocking Hills or Mohican, you're only about an hour from Columbus, and vice versa.

BOL!!!
