This Little Known Inn Near Cincinnati Is The Perfect Place To Get Away From It All

We all need to get away from time to time. As much as we love Cincinnati, you will experience the fun and excitement of city life, but moments of stress in general are inevitable, no matter where you live. Luckily, there are plenty of places near Cincinnati that provide the oasis you seek. Just an hour and a half east of downtown in West Union, Murphin Ridge Inn is as charming as it gets and the perfect place to get away from it all.

Located in nearby Adams County, in the heart of Amish Country, Murphin Ridge Inn is a lovely property for a relaxing escape.

The 142 acres of rolling hills and farmland are serene and perfect for a stay any time of year. The owners run this inn with love and care, which ensures that you have a memorable stay and leave refreshed.

There are several spots throughout the property to hide away and unwind.

Catch the morning sunrise from an adirondack chair or nap in a hammock in the afternoon breeze. The grounds are beautifully maintained and ideal for strolling and exploring.

The Inn offers a variety of options for accommodations.

The main inn has ten rooms, each with their own bathroom. There is also a charming Amish House that has five guest rooms, as well as a shared living room and kitchen space. For more privacy, consider one of the nine beautifully decorated cabins, like the one pictured above. Each cabin has a whirlpool tub, fireplace, queen- or king-size bed, heating, and air conditioning. They are nestled beneath large oak and maple trees and have a front porch furnished with comfortable chairs.

While there are plenty of places to experience in the surrounding Amish Country, you may find yourself wanting to stick to the Inn's grounds.

Grab a packed box lunch and check out one of the hiking trails on the property. Choose one of the many seating areas to read a good book and at night, enjoy the fire pit.

Look no further than the Inn's own dining room for an amazing meal.

Breakfast is included with your stay and will surely be a highlight. Favorites include Foggy Bottom Pancakes, Cream Biscuits with Sausage Gravy, and granola made right at the inn. They also serve dinner (at an extra cost), and the menu is always delicious and fresh.

There is really no best time to visit Murphin Ridge, as it is beautiful all year long.

The vibrant colors in the fall, peaceful snow in the winter, fragrant flowers in the spring, and the refreshing pool overlooking the property in the summer make the Inn a year-round destination.
