Romantic Ohio Getaways
* As always, things are subject to change so be sure to use the links and confirm directly with each business.
1. Landoll’s Mohican Castle: Loudonville, Ohio (1 hour, 25 minutes from Columbus)
Live out your fairytale dreams and stay in a castle!
Each suite in the castle is uniquely named and has it’s own look. Use this link to check out what each room looks like: castle suites. In addition to the castle suites, there are a few other places to stay. The Stables were completed in 2018 so that’s more of a modern feel but doesn’t have the same ambiance (in my opinion) as the castle. There are also two private cottages: Macbeth Cottage and Thane Cottage. This is one of our favorite romantic Ohio getaways!
