COTTAGE SPECIALS DURING LATE FALL AND WINTER MAKE IT EASY FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO GET AWAY TO AN OHIO STATE PARK COLUMBUS, OH -- Late fall and winter specials make it easier than ever to get away to a woodland cottage in a scenic and secluded Ohio State Park, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). Now's the time to make reservations for a family holiday gathering or a mid-winter escape to a cozy cottage with all the amenities and comforts of home. "Off-season cottage stays in Ohio State Parks offer advantages not found during the busy summer months," said Dan West, Ohio State Parks chief. "Discounted rates make getaways especially appealing in the fall and winter." Beginning November 1 and running through April 30, overnight visitors will receive $20 off the regular Sunday through Thursday night rate and $10 off the Friday and Saturday night rate on cottage stays at Cowan Lake State Park in Clinton County, Hocking Hills State Park in Hocking County and Pike Lake State Park in Pike County. The cottage special is available from November through March at Buck Creek State Park in Clark County and Pymatuning State Park in Ashtabula County. Lake Hope State Park in Vinton County offers the special rates after the Thanksgiving holiday period through March, while Dillon State Park in Muskingum County and Mohican State Park in Ashland and Richland counties begin offering the special rates in January through April. From November 1 through April 30, overnight visitors get three nights for the price of two in cottages at Hueston Woods State Park in Preble County, Shawnee State Park in Scioto County, Burr Oak State Park in Morgan County, Salt Fork State Park in Guernsey County, Maumee Bay State Park in Lucas County and Punderson State Park in Geauga County. Off-season cottage specials are available now through April at Deer Creek State Park in Pickaway County. Overnight visitors can stay two or more nights for $129 per night. That's a $30 savings over the regular season rate! Cottage reservations can be made for any state park (except Deer Creek) by calling 1-800-AT-A-PARK. Reservations for Deer Creek State Park cottages are available at 1-877-678-3337. Each heated and carpeted family cottage is a complete home away from home. All feature two bedrooms, fully equipped kitchens with microwaves, baths with showers, and living rooms with televisions and sleep sofas. Dishes, cookware, utensils and linens are provided. Many locations also offer gas-log fireplaces and cable television, and a few cottages feature hot tubs.
