Murphin RIdge is very special. The cabins in the woods are exceptionally comfortable with wonderful king sized beds, attractive furniture, a jacuzzi tub and a remote controled fireplace. Looking out the windows you just see woods.
The breakfasts that come with the rooms are incredibly good. The dinners are excellent. And a $!0 box lunch is a real bargain. The early 1800s farm house that serves as the restaurant and gift shop is a beatufiul building. The sun room addition is great for breakast where we saw all types of birds feeding outside the windows. THe hiking trails are nice and you can walk on the quiet road with almost no traffic as well.

Most importantly, the inn is so well run. The innkeepers are a warm and highly intelligent couple whose high taste level makes everything about the inn better.

And since the inn is approximately 1 1/2 hours or less from anywhere in greater Cincinnati, Greater Cincinnatians are missing out by not spending a couple of days in thie special place.

We spent two nights in a king bedded cabin. The photos online are accurate: the cabins are immaculate, our bed and linens were first rate, and everything worked well (very concise handouts to help introduce you to the cabin). The food was better than I expected in terms of how imaginative both the entrees and soups were; the chicken--sourced locally and organic--was even better than what I get at Whole Foods. The service was good to excellent (ask for Levi), and the owner serves most expertly as sommelier. Both of the owners are charming, clever, and helpful but not intrusive. You'll hate to leave.

My wife and I recently returned from our 7th visit to this fantastic B&B and are counting down the days until our next visit! We always stay in one of the nine Amish built cabins in the secluded wooded area just a short romantic stroll from the main inn. For a bit less seclusion, there are 10 uniquely decorated rooms located in the main inn. We especially enjoy dining on selections from the seasonable menu of superb, first class meals while looking out over the rolling farm fields surrounding the area. For repeat visitors familiar with the inn and dining experience, you can actually feel the day-to-day stress leave your body as you drive through the Amish community and the road leading into the inn. Take the recommendation from all of the reviews posted online and treat yourself to a stay at Murphin Ridge, you'll be back again and again. I know that we will!

Our second visit to the Murphin Ridge Inn did not disappoint. My husband and I felt ourselves relaxing the moment we arrived. Room #4, "Cardinal", in the Guest House was very nicely furnished, clean and roomy. The view was beautiful. The food was excellent! (I bought one of their cookbooks.) The staff members were fun and friendly. The common room had a TV, board games, books, magazines, and a piano. The weather happened to be rainy during our stay, so no tennis this time. Perhaps next time, as we will certainly return.
