So you want to get away for a weekend, but you aren’t sure where to go. While the country has plenty of options, perhaps none are as affordable, fun, and exciting as northeast Ohio. While the area often gets overlooked for a vacation, it has plenty to do for all interests. From downtown Cleveland to the beautiful, yet scarily named Mosquito Creek Lake, you’re sure to find something that suits you. The next step is figuring out where to stay. Here’s a guide to help you find the perfect accommodations.
The Ritz-Carlton
For an unforgettable urban getaway, book a stay at the Ritz-Carlton in downtown Cleveland. Part of the historic Tower City Center, the hotel is synonymous with luxury, offering 206 guest rooms and suites with views of downtown, Lake Erie, or the Cuyahoga River. Each room has elegant, upscale décor, topped off with a marble bathroom, smart TV, and Nespresso machine. Plush terry robes pamper you while you lounge and a pillow-top mattress give you the sleep of a lifetime.
Other amenities you should take full advantage of include 24-hour room service, an on-site restaurant, a fully stocked bar, and an art gallery on the seventh floor. For a night on the town, the Ritz-Carlton is conveniently located within walking distance of the casino, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and nightlife destinations.
Cabins at Mosquito Creek Lake
Although its name may keep some travelers away, Mosquito Creek Lake is an outdoorsman’s paradise. Featuring nearly 2,500 acres of woodlands and 7,850 acres of water, there’s always something to do whether you head out on the lake or stay on dry land. Fishing is the most popular activity here, especially for Flathead catfish, which populate the lake’s shallow waters.
If you’re on a fishing trip, nothing’s better than finding a vacation home or cabin right on the shores of the lake. Not only is it an affordable option, but you’re just a few steps away from boating, hiking, and other recreational activities.
Bed-and-Breakfasts in Geneva-on-the-Lake
Located on Lake Erie just an hour east of Cleveland, Geneva-on-the-Lake is a quaint getaway known for its romantic accommodation and scenery. Situated in the heart of Ohio wine country, places such as the Lakehouse Inn and the Lost Pearl Bed and Breakfast give you access to some of the most beautiful wineries in the state. At each of these wineries, you can enjoy the view, sip a glass of pinot grigio, and rekindle the flame.
Another option is the Michael Cahill Bed & Breakfast. Nestled on the shores of Lake Erie, this bed-and-breakfast is the only lakeside accommodation in Ohio wine country. Faithfully restored to its original 1887 condition, Cahill is close to many of the area’s top attractions. Plus, the breakfast is worth getting up early for, based around locally sourced, seasonal ingredients.
Whether you’re planning on exploring the area or lounging in your hotel room for 48 hours, these northeast Ohio accommodation options will undoubtedly make your visit relaxing. Plus, no one’s there to judge if 2 a.m. room service sounds like an excellent idea.
