There are plenty of unique places to stay in the Buckeye State. (Be sure to check out this themed hotel.) The small town of Yellow Springs is hiding one of Ohio’s happiest little getaways, however. Unlike any other roadside motel you’ve ever been to, The Springs Motel is the most welcoming, quirky motel you’ll ever have the pleasure of staying at.

Here’s why we think it’s one of the happiest places to be in all of Ohio:

On the south side of town along US 68, the happy sign points the way to one of Ohio’s friendliest motels.

With a brightly painted exterior, welcome mats and potted plants to greet you, you know this place is special the moment you arrive.

Terry E/Trip Advisor The 1950s vibe will make you nostalgic for years past. There are 12 quaint guest rooms.

Scattered throughout, you’ll find homey, handwritten notes that communicate motel policies and other helpful information. It feels like you’re staying at a friend’s house, rather than a motel.

Terry E/Trip Advisor In spite of what some might consider to be modest accommodations, this quirky motel has earned a 4.5-star rating on Trip Advisor.

The end of the building even features a beautiful mural of the official Yellow Spring, which you can see for yourself firsthand at Glen Helen Nature Preserve, less than a mile away.

Outside on the grounds, you’ll find a fire pit, interesting landscaping and some hidden yard gnomes.
