Hi! We are about to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary and are looking for a place to go on a small road trip over a long weekend. We have an almost-5-year-old and would like to include him in the vacation. My goal is to find a place about 2-3 hours away from Dayton, and somewhere where we can just hang out, relax, maybe make a fire to BBQ, and fish. I've looked, endlessly, on-line for cottages with some land involved but have had no luck. Any suggestions?
Hocking Hills, also they are alot of great state parks. If you need help email me back.
Thanks

Why not rent a cabin at Cowan Lake and "rough it"? They're very affordable and provide an excellent opportunity for family bonding. Good luck.
Hueston Woods State Park is a place I'm planning to go soon. It has cabins and plenty of outdoor! It's about at the border of Ohio/Indiana on I-70. Look them up online and see if they have all that you want. Good luck!
I'm not sure how you feel about camping but my mom and I have always gone to Fort Laramie. It's about an hour up north and you can get a small cabin like place or you could pack your own tent. The cabin like place had two futon beds in it with a small fridge and a microwave. Plus it sat right on the edge of the water so we didn't have to walk far. I enjoyed myself when I was there. Good luck with your search and congratuations on your anniversary.
Hi C.. I used to live in Dayton, and now I live in Russell Springs Kentucky....on the great Lake Cumberland. It's just a bit farther than you were shooting for, we're about 4 hours from dayton. I have made the trip many times with my 3 children, and it's not a bad trip. We have a few facilities around the lake that have cottages. Jamestown Resort and Marina has a lodge and cottages. Some cottages are around a pool. There is also the State Dock, which is larger and has nicer facilities, that also has a lodge and I believe cottages. If you're not wanting to stay there, we have a KOA nearby. If you're interested in this location, you can use website Lakecumberland.com and that has a multitude of information for you. I hope you enjoy your trip, and have a safe holiday!
