When it comes to unique lodging, it doesn’t get any better than glamping in Ohio in a treehouse inspired by Treehouse Masters’ Pete Nelson. You’ll find this and more at The Mohicans located in the rolling hills of Glenmont, a short drive from Ohio’s Mohican State Park and Amish Country. My husband and I recently had…
Hocking Hills in southeast Ohio is well known in the Buckeye State and beyond as an outdoorsman (or women’s) paradise. The area boasts hiking trails for all abilities, canoeing, horseback riding, zip lining, ATV trails and is one of the few places in Ohio where one can rock climb. Located in the Appalachian foothills, outdoor…
Like many women, I enjoy a good shopping trip. So, when I find a destination that offers great deals, unusual shops, and something for everyone I return over and over again. Wooster, Ohio is such a destination. Located about 45 minutes from Akron, an hour from Cleveland and nearly an hour and a half from…
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Field & Stream for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

When I asked my daughter if she was interested in joining me on a press trip featuring the Ohio State Park Lodges, she had no idea how much fun it would be, and neither did I. We joined bloggers from around the world for a four night, five day tour of three of Ohio’s State…
This post is written by my daughter, Chelsea. Thank you to Xanterra, the Ohio State Parks Lodges, and Mohican Adventures in Loudonville, for providing the opportunity for us to make these memories together. My first canoe trip was pretty memorable, considering I almost died. My family isn’t the most athletic, like, we’re not coordinated. At all. So I…
The Lava Rock Grill in West Lafayette, east of Coshocton touts itself as “Ohio’s most unique dining and shopping experience.” If you base that statement on the unusual and eclectic café interior, I think you’d be hard pressed to find a restaurant of its equal in the Buckeye State. I spent much of my tween…
Mohican State Park is one of my family’s favorite warm weather attractions in North Central Ohio. When my kids were younger, we’d make frequent trips to the state park to view the Clear Fork Gorge Overlook, climb the stairs of the Fire Tower and hike two of our favorite trails; Big Lyons Falls and Pleasant…
Castaway Bay is operated by Cedar Point Amusement Park and like the adrenaline boosting attraction, this waterpark packs a few thrills of its own.
