Romantic Barn Inn Bed and Breakfast

Ohio's number one rural tourist destination, Holmes County, rich in history and culture, is home to the world's largest community of Amish. A visit to Ohio's Amish Country is so unique, it may feel as though you've stepped into 17th Century Europe as you view Amish, dressed in peasant-type clothing, taking animals to market in horse-drawn buggies or wagons. A visit to this unique and historic area offers a broad range of shopping experiences including cheese shops, quilt shops, Amish hard-wood furniture stores, weekly farmer's markets, flea markets, restaurants, and more. Visitors will observe centuries-old practices of a distinct separate and hard-working group of people.

The masterfully restored Barn Inn, once home to Honey Run Dairy company, today showcases a stately blend of rustic beams and fine decor. The inn's expansive great room soars to a height of 33 feet and features at-home comforts of sofas, fireplace, satellite TV, and tables for groups to enjoy table games. Balconies and porches extend from all levels and rooms and overlook a grand fountain and foot bridge that lead to a private park in the rear. Wireless internet is provided free throughout the inn.
