The Best Airbnbs in Ohio: 16 Cool and Unique Vacation Rentals

While we do love a great boutique hotel, there’s something special about a vacation rental — especially when it’s packed with local charm. From cozy cabins and quirky tiny homes to luxurious lakefront escapes, Ohio has no shortage of amazing Airbnbs for every kind of traveler. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway, a romantic retreat, or an extended stay, these 16 unique Ohio Airbnbs showcase the best of the Buckeye State’s creativity, history, and hospitality.

Unique Airbnbs in Ohio

Old Postal Cottage Outside Cleveland

This cute former post office is set in quiet Amish country outside Cleveland. We obviously love to see historic buildings preserved and repurposed, so this homey getaway is high on our list!

Bock’s Juke Joint Outside Cleveland

You have to look at the photos for this unique renovated barn! It’s awash in quirky character (umm, a “keg urinal”?!), and even has it’s own saloon and stage.

Psst! Want to know about our new favorite (and much cheaper) way to travel?

We’re obsessed with Kindred, the home swap app that allows renters as well as homeowners, and has homes available all around the world.

We’ve used Kindred for stays in the US and beyond, and the photo you see to the left is from an actual home we stayed at, for just the cost of the cleaning fees, about $28 a night!

Membership is free, and new members get 5 free nights without swapping your home! It’s an insanely generous offer that might not last long, but we’re spreading the word while it does.
