Highlights of Ashtabula Historic Harbor, OH | Lake Erie | Where to Stay, Eat and Play

The first time we stayed at the Michel Cahill Bed and Breakfast in Ashtabula, OH, we knew we would be back. In fact, on our way home, we made reservations to stay the following month. Before the end of the summer, we visited again. Read more about our visit on my blog, No Shoes Just Travel. https://www.noshoesjusttravel.com/sho... We can't seem to get enough of this wonderful historic harbor area, and here's why. First of all, Joann and Bob Surbella are exceptional hosts. They are welcoming and genuinely interested in making their guests feel at home. They are knowledgeable about the surrounding area and suggest where to eat, shop and play. Read more about them at:   / michael.cahill.bb.ashtabula  . But it doesn't stop there. We have found that shopkeepers, restaurant owners, and people we meet are friendly and want to share their town with you. In addition, there is something for everyone. Boating, hiking, fishing, shopping, and more are just steps away from the harbor district. Historians will enjoy the Maritime Museum, The Hubbard House Underground Railroad Museum, and the covered bridges. Ashtabula County is home to 19 covered bridges, including the longest in the US, the Smolen-Gulf Covered Bridge. Wine connoisseurs will enjoy the 30 wineries throughout the area, each with its own personality. And if you are a foodie, Ashtabula has you covered. With a variety of restaurants in the Historic Harbor district alone. If you need time to relax, take a walk on the inspiring shoreline at Walnut Beach. Here you can enjoy a lazy day sunning yourself by the lake, or for more activity, bring the gang for a game of volleyball or the kids to climb and run around on the playground. If you forget your lunch, then sidle up to the snack bar for delicious paninis, sandwiches, and other snacks to fill your tank. Last but not least, no visit to Ashtabula is complete without a visit to Fat Sally's Warehouse. Named after their dog, Fat Sally's is where antique store meets flea market and then invites Etsy to join them. It's a combination of antiques, and local artisan finds. Amy and Cory Nagle bring the community together in this one-of-a-kind venue full of activity and good old-fashioned fun. Keep an eye on them at   / fatsallyswarehouse   Although I tried to include as many restaurants and shops as possible in this video, this is only the tip of the iceberg. Once you visit, you will learn that you can't do it all in one weekend and will most likely be like us and keep coming back for more.
