If you’re looking for one of the most unique overnight stays in Ohio, SōLSTAY offers an experience unlike anything else in the state. Located directly on the waterfront in Sandusky, this urban glamping retreat combines the adventure of camping with the comfort of a boutique resort. Instead of traditional cabins, guests can stay in floating houseboats and waterfront cottages while enjoying sweeping views of Lake Erie right outside their door.
What makes SōLSTAY special is that the property itself feels like part of the adventure. Guests can relax in a floating sauna, soak in a rooftop hot tub overlooking the water, kayak through the marina, walk the waterfront boardwalk, or simply watch the sunset over the lake. The atmosphere feels more like a coastal getaway than something you’d expect to find in Ohio.
Its location is another major highlight. SōLSTAY sits less than a mile from Cedar Point and only minutes from downtown Sandusky, making it easy to combine a unique overnight stay with some of Ohio’s most popular attractions. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a summer road trip, or a weekend on the water, SōLSTAY is one of the most memorable stays we’ve found in Ohio.
