I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
Picture this: you’re snuggled up on an Adirondack chair, glass of wine in hand, watching the sun set over Lake Erie, surrounded by miles and miles of the beautiful Third Coast. You might have spent the day at the beach, or perhaps you took a swim in the on-site pool or soak in the steamy hot tub. When you’re hungry, dining options are an easy walk from your room, a well-appointed and spacious suite that boasts high-end amenities and luxe features. Sounds absolutely dreamy, right? Well, friends, this is the magic that awaits at Kelleys Island Venture Resort, the most amazing resort getaway in Ohio.
Kelleys Island is the largest U.S. island in the western basin of Lake Erie. With a landmass of 2,800 acres and 18 miles of pristine shoreline, Kelleys Island is an Ohio treasure that's our very own slice of paradise.
The resort boasts 31 beautifully appointed luxury suites each with their own private patio and incredible lake views. Some suites even include upper-level loft space for larger groups and families.
Inside, you'll find the rooms impeccably and thoughtfully designed, with crisp and luxurious linens, soothing color palates, and beachy decor. Each suite comes outfitted with first-class amenities including mini-kitchen appliances, flat-screen TVs, and high-speed Internet access.
This destination hotel has a pristine outdoor swimming pool with ample seating areas as well as an outdoor hot tub which sits in a beautifully landscaped courtyard.
Of course, the main attraction at this resort is its location. Lake Erie is right across the street; guests are invited to relax on the hotel's three-tiered deck and enjoy the views of Lake Erie, Marblehead Peninsula, and Cedar Point. There, you will also find two charcoal grills for enjoying a barbecue and a plethora of group activities, including a children's playground and a large field for games.
Sand Trap Tiki Bar is a perennial favorite that offers guests the quintessential waterfront dining experience. Think frozen drinks and umbrella-topped cocktails, served with grilled seafood, ribs, and other all-American classics.
