Those living on America's East or West coast might have the ocean at their doorstep, but they don't know what they're missing. Lake Erie, which spans Ohio's entire northern border and stretches all the way to Buffalo, New York, boasts pristine sandy beaches, lush surroundings, nearby vineyards and plenty of romantic lodges to take it all in. Regardless of the season, a vacation to Lake Erie is always a great idea. That's why we rounded up 10 of the most irresistibly romantic lodges near the coast! Next time you're booking a getaway, look to one of these charming inns — each guaranteed to provide you with memories to last you a lifetime.  

The Lakehouse Inn

The Lakehouse Inn is an ideal escape for two in the heart of Lake Erie Wine Country. It features spectacular views of the coast, a luxurious, full-service spa, plush accommodations, a farm-to-table restaurant and a full production winery. Choose between eight guest rooms, four lakefront cottages and a full beach house, and spend your days walking on the beach, wine tasting and relaxing with loved ones.  

Fitzgerald's Irish Bed and Breakfast

47 Mentor Avenue, Painesville, Ohio Enjoy endless warmth and top-notch hospitality at this spectacular, Irish-inspired bed & breakfast, which offers uniquely decorated rooms, fabulous architecture, an elaborate 11-foot fireplace, beautiful grounds and so much more. Situated just a few miles away from the most popular trails and beaches in the Great Lakes Region (and very close to more than 30 wineries), Fitzgerald's Irish Bed and Breakfast is the perfect destination for a fun-filled getaway with your sweetheart.

Nestled in the heart of Lake Erie Wine Country, the Barcelona Lakeside Bed & Breakfast looks like something straight out of a luxury travel magazine. The Inn is somehow both warm and luxurious at once, offering afternoon tea, coffee and freshly baked cookies at check-in, lovingly decorated guest rooms, cozy fireplaces, and a delightful breakfast every morning. During hot summer days, bask on the beach with a good book, or opt for a tour of the nearby vineyard. And then by night, settle around the fire pit and enjoy views of the stars and the lake.  

Farrell House Lodge

1104 Fremont Avenue, Sandusky, Ohio If you're looking for a healthy dose of Southern charm on the shores of Lake Erie, look no further than Farrell House Lodge. This 1890's replica of a Southern mansion is situated just a few miles southeast of Sandusky, Ohio on more than 65 acres of scenic woodlands. The property also plays host to a two-mile stretch of Ohio's legendary Cold Creek, which shelters three species of trout and offers plentiful fishing opportunities. But apart from fishing, the Lodge also allows for relaxing and enjoying quality time with loved ones in an idyllic paradise.  

Walden Inn

Located just a few miles outside of Cleveland, the Walden Inn is the only five-star accommodation near the shores of Lake Erie. The grounds are nothing short of picturesque, with lush trees, lakes, streams and meadows spanning the gently rolling hills, and the amenities are untouched by any other resort in the area. The full-service spa is one of the most highly rated in the state of Ohio, and the entire feel of the place is irresistibly romantic! After treating yourself to a spa day, enjoy a delicious meal at the on-site restaurant and retreat to your room — which comes stocked with fine linens, plush bathrobes, a fully-stocked bar and a luxurious bathtub.  

Sawmill Creek Resort

400 Sawmill Creek Drive, Huron, Ohio The Sawmill Creek Resort is a home away from home — just a bit more luxurious. Surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, the resort aims to provide its guests with a true Lake Erie getaway filled with adventure and outdoor exploration. Here, you'll find plentiful opportunities for ziplining, golfing, swimming, boating, trekking the nearby trails or even embarking on a hot air balloon ride to take in the views from above! Once you're done playing, you can relax on the beach, dine in the restaurant or rest in your luxurious room (most feature a private whirlpool tub).  

The Lodge at Geneva-on-the-Lake

This spectacular lakeside getaway is one of the most popular vacation destinations in Ohio, and it's not difficult to see why! Boasting breathtaking views of Lake Erie's southern shore and the surrounding countryside, the Lodge allows you to savor the flavors of wine country, explore the nearby trails on a rental bike, take a zip line canopy tour or simply sit on the beach — the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Once you're done enjoying the outdoors, dine in the highly rated on-site restaurant, cozy around the fire pit with a refreshment, or retreat to your luxurious room.  

Victorian Tudor Inn

408 West Main Street, Bellevue, Ohio Situated just minutes from Lake Erie and Cedar Point Amusement Park (known as the Roller Coaster Capital of the World), the Victorian Tudor Inn is about as charming as it gets. The small, family-owned inn is filled with plush bedding, antique furniture, and homey decor — which results in a warm, welcoming feel that is sometimes hard to come by away from home. Additionally, guests will be treated to a fabulous, multi-course breakfast every morning — far beyond the typical Continental Breakfast experience.

Voted the #1 hotel in Cleveland in 2018 by U.S. News and World Report, and the top hotel in the Midwest in 2017 by Condé Nast Traveler, the Kimpton Schofield Hotel's reputation precedes it. And for those looking for a little bit of city life mixed in with their Lake Erie getaway, there is no better place! This luxury hotel is set inside a landmark building in the heart of downtown, and features plush accommodations, playful decor and easy access to the city's most popular attractions. Of course, the hotel is so gorgeous, you might have a difficult time leaving!  

Enjoy your trip!
