Murphin Ridge Inn

Nestled on 142 acres of rolling woodland and farmland in the foothills of the Appalachians, Murphin Ridge Inn offers a timeless country‑style retreat in West Union, Ohio, the heart of Amish Country. Guests choose from nine hand‑crafted cabins with private porches and two‑sided fireplaces, or one of ten uniquely furnished inn rooms where breakfast is included each morning. At 8:30 am the Dining House welcomes diners with Foggy Bottom pancakes, homemade applesauce, fresh fruit and the inn’s signature home‑brewed raspberry iced tea. After a leisurely stroll along the three‑mile loop trail, visitors can explore nearby Amish towns, browse local craft shops, or unwind on the porch as the sun sets over the ridge. Evening meals are served by reservation at 5:30 pm, featuring locally sourced ingredients, fine wines and spirits in a dining room lit by lamplight. The property also boasts tennis and croquet courts, a fire pit, a piano‑filled parlour, and seasonal activities such as spring wildflower walks, summer garden harvests, autumn foliage hikes, and winter wood‑smoke evenings. With a quiet, unhurried atmosphere, a brick farmhouse that glows at dusk, and a commitment to personal service, Murphin Ridge Inn invites travelers to leave their cares behind and experience the simple pleasures of rural Ohio. The inn is reachable via State Routes 32, 41 and 41, with a 1¼‑hour drive from Cincinnati and a two‑hour drive from Dayton. Reservations can be made online or by calling +1 937‑544‑2263.
