  • Nature Retreat
    by Discover Ohio

    Get away from the hustle and bustle of ‘reality’ and take a few days to enjoy a tranquil and invigorating retreat in Southeast Ohio.

    Start off with a "Bliss" massage at the Glenlaurel Scottish Inn & Spa. Follow up with a fine dining experience by candlelight at the Inn's restaurant. Are you up to the challenge of a six-course meal?

    The next day hit the trails with a hike through Zaleski State Forest, the second largest in Ohio. After working up an appetite, stop by the Sandstone restaurant in Logan, then stick around to shop at the Historic Square Arts Center in Nelsonville. You’ll see an eclectic array of shops, restaurants and artisan galleries. Don’t miss the beautifully restored Stuart’s Opera House, built in 1879. 

    That evening, enjoy dinner at Ravenwood Castle. Three large stained glass windows and an enormous stone fireplace complete the fairy tale adventure inside the castle.

    Day 3, trek to Old Man’s Cave, one of the premier destinations for visitors to Hocking Hills State Park. The area features breathtaking scenery of Ohio's natural wonders.

    Conclude your adventure with dinner at the Inn at Cedar Falls. The restaurant is inside a log cabin, originally built in the 1840s and offers a unique dining experience.
