From the forests of Hocking Hills to the farms of Amish Country, the lakeshores of the Third Coast to the forests of Cuyahoga Valley, Ohio truly is a nature lover's paradise. While camping is many outdoor enthusiasts' choice when it comes to a night in nature, those who prefer a less rugged experience (hello, it's me) need only book a getaway in one of the following charming Airbnbs in Ohio.
1. Eclipse Glamping Dome - Gann, Ohio
Located on seven serene acres with direct access to the Mohican River, the Eclipse Glamping Dome Airbnb gives guests a truly immersive experience in Ohio nature. Lush greenery and river views can be seen from all sides of this geodesic dome, which boasts amenities like heat/AC, a kitchen, dedicated workspace with Wi-Fi, and TV with Roku.
Despite all these perks, however, the real draw of the Eclipse Glamping Dome is its location: the views and surrounding scenery are nothing short of breathtaking, and best enjoyed from the outdoor hot tub.
2. Secluded Family Retreat - Kimbolton, Ohio
Of all these wondrous nature-filled Airbnbs in Ohio, this Cabin on a Lake really speaks to me. I have four kids and am always looking for places that can accommodate my family -- and this cabin on the lake is it. While located just 15 minutes from the attractions and recreation offered at Salt Fork State Park, this cabin truly is a destination in and of itself.
For starters, there's a private, 2.5-acre lake and the owners provide a boat, fishing gear, bait, and firewood. There's a cozy rec room with a pool table and full kitchen for cooking dinner. There's a glorious porch *and* pier perfect for enjoying the sublime sights and sounds of Ohio nature. What more could you possible want?
3. Scandinavian Cabin with Hot Tub + Fire Pit - Strasburg, Ohio
Minimalism meets nature in this Scandinavian Cabin in Strasburg, Ohio. Built in 2022 from local wood, this thoughtfully designed cabin has everything you need for an amazing experience in Ohio nature. I personally *love* Scandinavian design and this cabin captures the purity of this aesthetic, with lots of big windows, light wood, and black-and-white details.
Smart technology and a dedicated workspace make this a perfect place for a "workcation," while a private hot tub and glorious woodland views make it the perfect vacation.
4. Stanford House in Cuyahoga Valley National Park - Peninsula, Ohio
Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a place of immense beauty and splendor; a 33,000-acre paradise of lush forests, enchanting waterfalls, wondrous wildlife, and some of the state’s finest hiking trails. Nestled in the heart of it all, the Stanford House offers guests an unrivaled experience in one of the finest national park hotels in the US! The home harkens back to the Ohio's earliest days: James Stanford -- one of the original settlers of the Western Reserve and surveyor for the Connecticut Land Company -- claimed this land in 1806. After James established the area, his son George took the proverbial baton and set up his own homestead. He built this beautiful Greek Revival house in 1843 and expanded the family farm to 283 acres by 1853. Today, guests are invited to spend the night in this well-appointed, nine-bedroom home that's just a stone's throw from some of the best hiking trails in Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
5. The Nest Tree House - Logan, Ohio
You'll feel like an actual bird when you book a night at The Nest Treehouse, a stilted dwelling nested deep within the wilds of Hocking Hills. This cozy treehouse sleeps two and provides one of the most unique experiences I've come across in Hocking Hills.From the cable bridge walkway to the outdoor hot tub to its octagonal design and supports that are *literally* in the trees, this Airbnb provides a truly extraordinary getaway in one of Ohio's most extraordinary regions.
So, Only In Ohio readers: which of these rentals speaks to you the most? Whether you choose a lakefront cabin or a treehouse in the woods, you'll be immersed in nature at these charming Airbnbs in Ohio.
