Outdoor adventure, friendly folks, rich history, and a laid-back Appalachian atmosphere lend to a pleasurable vacation getaway. No chain hotels for lodging, just the premier Burr Oak State Park Lodge and many historic inns, private cabins, and vacation rentals. They all offer loads of privacy, beautiful views, and great service. Many have outdoor fire pits, balconies, peaceful patios, or gardens to enjoy the outdoors.
