The best restaurants are the restaurants with more than just amazing food. They’re often tucked away in unexpected, quiet places. Lake Hope Lodge in McArthur, Ohio is the perfect example of an unexpectedly amazing restaurant. While the food is certainly delicious, it’s the beautiful view that really makes dining here special. You’ll enjoy one of the best views in all of Ohio at this unique lookout restaurant:
Vinton County is home to one of Ohio's most underrated parks, Lake Hope State Park, as well as an incredible dining lodge.
Surrounded by the Zaleski State Forest and centered around Lake Hope, this park is stunning year-round. Lake Hope Lodge is located at 27331 State Rt 278, McArthur, OH 45651.
The two-story lodge is a great place to dine when you want to eat somewhere unique. It features casual dining in an unbelievably beautiful setting.
Whether you're hungry after a day of hiking or you just want a new experience, a meal here will hit the spot. (It's fine dining without all the stress.)
