Ohio's Best Spas

Ohio might not be the first state you think of when you consider spa vacations, but the Buckeye State boasts a surprisingly diverse collection of spots where you can pamper yourself, from the Hocking Hills of Southern Ohio to the Victorian homes of the Western Reserve in northern Ohio.

Inn and Spa at Cedar Falls
Nestled in the Hocking Hills of southeastern Ohio, the Inn and Spa at Cedar Falls combines pampering and luxurious accommodations with a lovely, 75-acre, wooded setting. Guests choose from 12 individually-decorated cottages, some of which have wood-burning fireplaces, whirlpool tubs and/or private porches; five cabins, which sleep up to six persons and feature such things as spiral staircases, full kitchens, whirlpool tubs and wood stoves; or one of nine inn guest rooms, all of which are decorated with country antiques and have private baths.

Spa services at the Inn at Cedar Falls range from traditional massage to mud body wraps, all in a relaxed country setting. Guests can take their meals at the inn's award-winning restaurant and, of course, the scenic hiking trails of Hocking Hills State Park are just minutes away.
