Nothing gets you dreaming of springtime splendor quite like winter in Cleveland. But as the snow starts to melt and the cold releases its grip on the region, the earth starts to come back to life, and it’s pure magic. Flowers burst through the earth’s soil, the days get longer, and migratory birds return to the area to fill it with song. One of the best ways to experience the season is actually by finding a unique Airbnb near Cleveland that immerses you in nature… and these seven Airbnbs just might check your boxes for the perfect getaway. Check it out:
The concept of tiny home living is intriguing to many minimalists, and there's an excellent place to try your hand at a life that's small on carbon impact and big on open, natural spaces. The Nest Egg in Chesterland is located on a farm, so while your room will be roughly 200 square feet in size, there's plenty of space to interact with their chickens, goats, and alpacas. There's no running water here, but drinking and cooking water will be provided, and the nearby creek provides a flowy soundtrack for your stay. You'll love watching the earth come back to life while you walk an alpaca, hang out with bunnies, and pick your own flowers.
One of the most magical aspects of springtime is hearing the peeper frogs fill the air near waterways with song. At the Carriage House, you'll find yourself right on the river with access to a waterfront pergola. A rustic chic home brings the elegance and wildness of the outdoors into your living space in a cozy way. With two beds and room for up to three guests, it's easy to imagine yourself sipping a cup of tea here while you take in the majesty of these emerald surroundings.
Imagine an early spring day ending with a glass of wine by the fire pit, or perhaps something fruitier in your own private hot tub. At the Private Beach House in Mentor-on-the-Lake, the world is your oyster! With three beds, this home comfortably fits up to six guests, and its stairs provide easy access to a lakefront fire pit. With a massive deck, you'll have plenty of space to unwind in the great outdoors to the soundtrack of Lake Erie's crashing waves. As migratory waterfowl return to the area each spring, there's nothing like watching them soar across a Great Lake sunset.
When you think about spending time in the great outdoors, it's only natural to conjure up visions of a cozy cabin. At this Log Cabin Retreat in Olmsted Township, you'll have a private space suitable for up to four guests overlooking the Rocky River. While nature is easily within reach here, so, too, is the river, so this spot unfortunately isn't suitable for children. Adult guests will love unwinding on the deck that overlooks the forest, especially as spring fills the forest with floral blooms and birdsong.
Burton often attracts visitors with its gorgeous tourist-friendly farmland, but this petite cottage on Little Punderson Lake is something else entirely. It's a little slice of paradise in a world that feels much more slow-paced than Cleveland, and it's close enough to Ohio's Amish Country for a quick day trip. You'll love concluding your day at this cozy cottage for two, but please note that its master suite is accessed via a spiral staircase, so this spot may not be suitable for everyone. Nevertheless, there's nothing like watching heron and eagles soar over the lake while you enjoy a romantic dinner.
Think you've enjoyed every type of accommodation imaginable? Enter the Luxury Barndominium, a farm getaway like you've never experienced before. This spot in Mantua, Ohio sleeps up to four guests, but you'll be sharing the property with Scottish Highlander cattle, so hopefully you don't mind some friendly neighbors. A fully stocked fishing pond, fire pit, and barbecue grill offer you the perfect opportunity to enjoy spring's bounty in the great outdoors while you make the most of your stay. Unique features like a ladder to the loft and a spiral staircase to the yard may make the stay challenging for some guests, but others can't help but love the artsy feel at this Mantua farm.
At just over an hour from home, Beach City, Ohio, isn't a bad drive at all. And it's well worth the hike, because this area hides one of the most scenic getaways near Cleveland: the Romantic Waterfront A-Frame. This tiny home for two is complete with a soaking tub with excellent window views, a cozy fireplace, a kayak launch, hammock area, and so much more. It's a stunning opportunity to watch the earth come back to life in the spring, especially if you're a fan of catch and release fishing. End the night with string lights and a waterfront fire to make it memorable.
