Inn and Spa at Walden

Beyond the stone pillars that mark the entryway to the Inn and Spa at Walden, travelers are treated to a resort oasis with all the necessities for a relaxing weekend. Lounge within one of the six styles of suites, including the 1,250-square-foot loft suite, which is bathed in natural light and offers views of the surrounding golf course. Or head to the spa for luxury treatments. Walden prides itself on giving its guests time to unwind, providing a spa suite where they can relax with a soak in a bubbler tub or steam shower after their massage, manicure or haircut. For dinner, opt for a more casual meal at The Club or get dressed up and head to The Barn. Housed in a restored 175-year-old structure, the restaurant serves dishes ranging from lobster mac and cheese to prime cuts of beef. 1119 Aurora Hudson Rd., Aurora, Ohio 44202, 330/562-5508, yourwalden.com
