Ohio resorts make it easy to get away without a long trip. Families can spend a weekend at a big indoor water park on the Lake Erie shore, couples can book a quiet inn in Amish Country, and hikers can stay next to the gorges and waterfalls of Hocking Hills. In the northeast, lake lodges and wine country add a slower pace. Most of these resorts are a short drive from Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, or Toledo, so a real break can start on Friday after work.
