Experience the rustic lodge and Amish country appeal. Listen to horse hooves clapping along the highway pavement as you approach the long gravel drive and see an Amish man conducting a horse-drawn carriage. Enter the main house through the welcoming squeaks of a screen door and the aromas of home cooking. Sit down to dinner and meet the chef in person, who will proudly (and rightfully) proclaim, "Best pork chop you've ever had, or it's free!" He was right. As enticing as it was to have the pork chop for every meal, we delved into the remainder of the menu; Fried chicken was juicy, tender, crispy, and dark golden brown. Black bean soup was simple with garlic, onion, and pepper. Needed a bit of salt, but it was really delicious, even if under-seasoned. The menu was full of delicious Heartland food for the soul. Top off your night with a tipsy cider (hot apple cider with caramel vodka: genius) by the fire, where you'll meet other travelers and watch the moon light up the sky. When morning breaks, treat yourself to a stroll amongst the wooded trails that stretch for just under five miles. In the fall, the colors are absolutely breathtaking. There's nothing like a good, warm breakfast after a brisk walk...and once again, the chef did not disappoint. He even heated my steak from the night before so that I could enjoy steak and eggs. My only criticism of Murphin Ridge Inn was the beds; exquisitely uncomfortable and bouncier than a hop-along ball. Unless you love hard beds and plan to sleep alone, be prepared to be startled awake by every move your partner makes, and the probability of waking up stiff and sore is pretty high. The fact that we had a fireplace with a sleep timer in the middle of the room almost made us forget about the discomfort of the mattress, though. I'd still return to Murphin Ridge Inn for the atmosphere, food, friendly service, and relaxation, but I'd come prepared next time with a comfy mattress pad and maybe a cot.

We wanted a place close to several Southern Ohio Points of Interest and it is very well located to Hillsboro, Bainbridge, Pike Lake State Park, Rocky Fork and Paint Creek. When we arrived, we were greeted by Jane & Doug - the proprietors. We immediately felt at home and loved the whole place. We stayed in the Rose Room, which was great. The room was comfortable, large and the bathroom was nice too with a great shower! We spent time with Jane & Doug talking and learning about their farm and getting a tour of the entire house Doug has built for them - what an amazing talent he has for woodwork. It was interesting to learn that the wood used in the house from trim to floors came from trees on the property - most of the wood had never left the farm. The house has tons of room for much larger groups and I could see us taking other family & friends for a weekend getaway in the future. We walked the property, which was really beautiful and even got to go on a golf cart ride a couple of times. There were homemade chocolate chip cookies and milk in the evening and in the morning Jane made us a true farm style breakfast that included coffee, orange juice, eggs, sausage, stewed apples and homemade scones - YUM! One other treasure is Luke, their 4 year old Golden Retriever, he only added to the warmth of the experience at this secluded getaway. My wife and I have travelled all over the country and stayed in dozens of places during our 22 years together and I can say on behalf of both of us, this place is a treasure if you are looking to get away, relax and meet some very nice people. You can visit or disappear to a cozy chair and read a book or take a nap - the experience can be whatever you decide to make it. We left feeling like we'd known them for years. Thank you Jane & Doug for a wonderful visit, we hope to see you again in the not too distant future.

We had to go to a wedding and a graduation in the area so we booked our trip with Nancy via email. When we arrived we were greeted by Nancy's daughter and showed around briefly, then to our room. They have the cutest little dog and a couple of cats which are lazy and very friendly. Our room was huge, very nice and very clean. The bed was very comfortable, much more so than just about any bed in any home-away-from-home that I've stayed at, the only comparable bed would probably be the beds at Hampton Inn (which will cost you about $159 a night I might add). We were the only ones staying the first night and were able to name our own breakfast time, we chose 9am. The next morning we woke up to the smell of bacon and went downstairs for a wonderful breakfast of fruit plate, apple-french toast and bacon with juice and tea (neither of us drink coffee). We spoke with Nancy for nearly two hours about the area and really enjoyed our time just sitting and talking. The next day we had another wonderful breakfast before departing. Our first experience with a bed & breakfast was a great one. I think we were very fortunate to have chosen such a beautiful historic house run by such a wonderful family. As a side note as a techno-addict I appreciated the fast, free wi-fi (fast enough to stream Netflix). Unfortunately with our wedding and graduation we did not have time for a proper tour of the grounds and the area but since my girlfriend has family in the area we most certainly plan to come back. This is a fantastic value for the money and far beats anything you will find in a hotel, in cleanliness, comfort and value. And what hotel that you stay at is going to have such a cute Pomeranian to eat breakfast with? I loved the place so much I tipped Nancy generously and I would recommend everyone else do the same, you shouldn't have any problem affording it with the money you save from staying at a Holiday Inn!

Unbelievably comfortable, peaceful, and relaxing…read more The experience here is unlike most other cabin/B&Bs in that you will be the only guests. So if you are looking to truly unplug and wake up overlooking acres of beautiful Ohio farmland, this is the place for you. I was immediately impressed with the attention to detail and quality construction of the cabin. Since it is a relatively new build it is well-appointed with upgraded appliances throughout. The fireplace (gas) that dominates the central sitting area not only sets a comforting mood, but puts out a good amount of heat. Additionally there is a walk in tile, multi-head shower that would be at home in any five star resort. The cabin also has an oversized whirlpool tub to truly unwind in. The owner has placed locally made soaps at the tub and sink. There is a kitchenette that is really equipped like a full-sized kitchen. The large refrigerator, toaster oven, microwave, coffee maker, and complete assortment of dishes and utensils easily facilitates meal prep. There is also a grill, picnic table, and fire pit out front. If you plan your stay correctly, you may never have to leave the cabin. Two things really stood out to me about this property: One, it is impeccably clean. Two, all the extras that are the mark of a well-run getaway. The owner left a bottle of wine and delicious tray of pastries from a local bakery out to welcome us to the cabin. The owner also stocks the bathroom area with hygiene and convenience items in the event you forget yours. If you are looking for a unique couples getaway, you have to book a weekend here.
