Smukt renoveret laden

Welcome to our slice of paradise! We are Tom and Kelly Esselburn, and we are happy to host you at our beautifully remodeled barn. We fell in love with this gorgeous setting and hope that you will enjoy the peace and tranquility as much as we do. Our family of seven has grown over the years as our “kids” have grown up and begun families of their own so even our large farmhouse can’t always accommodate everyone for those special family gatherings. When Tom found this gorgeous place we purchased it for our future growing family! What strikes us is how quiet it is there. It’s a special place to just relax and get away from the day to day hustle and bustle of life. We just knew we had to share this with others so in 2015 we launched Whitetail Ridge Lodge and in 2017 we opened The Barn at Whitetail Ridge Lodge. We are situated between the Mohican Park with all the water activities- canoeing or tubing, hiking, biking and horse back riding in the Loudonville area AND the shopping. crafts, local wineries, food and farmers markets of Amish Country in the Millersburg and Berlin area! We feel we have the best of Holmes County to offer because at the end of the day you can return to relax to a quiet evening at the pergola and fire pit to enjoy family, friends or just a quiet couples retreat. We look forward to hosting you!

The benefit we believe you have while visiting the Barn is how quiet it is. Do you know you are away from the city lights and can actually SEE the stars and hear the owls hoot! It's so much more than a one room cabin sleeping up to seven guests. Inside most of our furniture, as well as the cabinets was locally made and the building was renovated by our Amish craftsmen. Outside we believe one word says it all. Gorgeous! The grounds are well manicured provide a variety of seasonal flora to enjoy. The pergola and fire pit offer a terrific place to make steaks or burgers on the over the pit grill. It’s a great place to sit and relax with friends or roast marshmallows with the kids at the end of the day. We think everyday here is a great day!

The Barn offers three queen size beds plus a twin in the one room for the comfort of our guests. Two bedrooms are private and one queen bed is a Murphy bed in the common room. The furnished kitchen has seating for six at the table plus a bar with two stools. The indoor gas fireplace is a beautiful focal point in the large center gathering room and will keep you toasty warm on a cool fall or winter evening. The outdoor area with the picnic area under the pergola and the inviting firepit with seating area is a great way to unwind after a day of touring Millersburg, Berlin or Mt. Hope in rural Holmes County or canoeing, tubing, hiking, or biking in the Loudonville area or at Mohican State Park.
