Tucked away in one of Ohio's lesser-known state parks, you'll find the Deer Creek State Park Lodge and Conference Center.

On site, you'll find plenty of things to do, including shopping, a championship golf course and fishing.

There are a variety of overnight accommodations at the lodge, including cabins that are pet-friendly. (Pictured is one of the lodge's 110 guest rooms.)

It's a truly relaxing place to stay, no matter the season. Unplug, kick back and enjoy the views.

Outside, you'll find a variety of games and other activities, depending on the season. (Pictured is the miniature golf course.)

In the warmer months, outside swimming is a popular activity here...

...but there's also an indoor pool for the cooler months.

Even the restaurant offers incredible views. As you dine, you can look out over the peaceful lake.

And if you're feeling really ambitious, you can get out on the lake.

During the cooler months, it's particularly nice to relax by the fire in the main lounge after a long day of hiking, boating or swimming.

Deer Creek State Park Lodge and Conference Center is located at 22300 State Park Road 20, Mt Sterling, OH 43143. For reservations and other infromation, click here. Have you stayed here before? If so, we want to know what your experience was like!
