Whether you’re chasing the cosmic thrill of spring’s solar eclipse, longing for sun-soaked beach days or eager to immerse yourself in the splendor of autumn’s leafy grandeur, Ohio will be the heart of it all in 2024. But here’s the catch — lodging options in the most exceptional destinations will vanish like shooting stars. Don’t wait to book accommodations at some of Ohio’s best getaway destinations; seize the opportunity to secure your spot well in advance, especially in these locations.

bedroom bungalows that sleep four.

Kelleys Island, Ohio
Kelleys Island has a lot of loyal regulars who book their favorite summer cottage for the same week every year during the island’s 10-week season. July is the busiest month with events such as Island Fest.
