A favorite destination for day trips, weekend getaways, and extended vacations in the foothills of Appalachia.
Located within 65 miles of Dayton, Cincinnati, and Columbus, you can enjoy an unforgettable weekend away after just a short drive on any of the five major state roadways.
If you’re looking to do boating, fishing, or kayaking in one of our creeks or lakes in Ohio, then you’re in the perfect place for water activities.

With an emphasis on fresh, locally sourced ingredients our restaurants offer a wide range of dishes at reasonable prices for every budget. You can also sample the fresh produce at our local farmer’s markets, take a trip to one of the many Amish or Mennonite stores, or bring the kids (young or old) for small town sweet treats.
