Stay in a restored grist mill in Yellow Springs, a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, a quaint Nelsonville retreat or a former furniture store with a full-service winery.

Columbus Monthly
Winter is an ideal time for a getaway — a post-holiday gift you can give yourself of time in a quieter setting. There’s no shortage of adorable cabins or boutique hotels around Ohio, and we rounded up four quaint bed and breakfasts, all within a couple hours’ drive of Columbus.
Grinnell Mill B&B
Yellow Springs
An hour’s drive west to Yellow Springs gets you to the Grinnell Mill B&B, a restored 1821 grist mill with a main floor suite and a pair of second-floor guest rooms, all with queen beds and private bathrooms. Staying at the Grinnell Mill is a bit of a history lesson, both in the structure itself (which sits on the banks of the Little Miami River) and in the accommodations. The space is filled with antiques and period furniture, and the restored mill wheel sits outside. Breakfast is continental style, with fresh fruit, granola, yogurt and cereal, plus tea and coffee. grinnellmillbandb.com
