About this property

Beautiful Barn between Mohican and Amish Country

Come relax and enjoy this cute and cozy barndominium! Tastefully decorated with comfortable lodge and farmhouse style decor, we're located about 15-20 minutes east of Mohican Park or 15-20 minutes from Holmes County's Amish Country! Close for daytime activities then spend the evening enjoying peaceful open spaces.

The Barn features two bedrooms. One with a rustic pine queen bed and the other with a Hickory queen bed and a twin. There is also a queen Murphy bed in the common area, my favorite unique piece of furniture in the whole place, to provide more sleeping space. A privacy screen is provided. Most of the beautiful furniture in the Barn has come from Holmes County's local craftsmen.

There is a fully functional kitchen; complete with a gas range, refrigerator, dishwasher, disposal and microwave. Most of your needs for basic cooking is available with dishes, glasses, pots and pans, a coffee maker, (drip & Keurig ) toaster and crockpot. There is a small island with two saddle style stools and a kitchen table that can accommodate six with 4 chairs and a bench.

The open concept design allows guests to visit with friends and family in the kitchen gathering area and the main living space, where you can enjoy the warmth of a gorgeous stone gas fireplace.

Although there is only one bathroom, we tried to make it unique with a spacious walk in shower made of synthetic marble walls, a seat, rainfall shower and a handheld shower wand.

The outdoor patio area with firepit and poly furniture seating allows patrons to enjoy the scenic western view of the rolling countryside year round. There also is a large picnic table under the pergola. The firepit does have a grate for grilling burgers or steaks over either a wood or charcoal fire. We always provide some firewood so you can just sit back and enjoy a late night glow!

Guest have their own private outdoor space as well as private parking.

Great getaway

Very clean, and cozy. Pictures dont do it justice. We stayed for 4 days and had the best time, we saw tons of whitetail deer in the meadows, shared laugh’s around the kitchen table, and made memories for a lifetime. Would love to come back!

A Perfect Escape

If you're looking to slow down and enjoy nature....this is the place for you. Absolutely gorgeous 'barndominium' on absolutely beautiful land with amazing sunsets. Quiet and so much peace. House was clean, up to date, and comfy. No complaints from us. Close to Mohican State Park for hiking, Landoll's Mohican Castle for dinner or a fun ghost walk at night, and cute towns like Loudenville, Millersburg, and Berlin. Be careful driving over hills, you never know when you'll encounter a horse and buggy. Highly recommend and we'll definitely be back.

Beautiful restored barn in Ohio

Upon first glance, you may never know the property is a restored barn. It's makeover is quite aesthetic, from the floors to the walls and throughout. Other than the sight of deer peeking their heads through the woods nearby, it felt isolated. The site is perfect for mental downtime, but within a relatively short drive is Ohio's Amish communities. The host was very responsive and the rates are quite respectable for the property's value.

Beautiful property

The property is beautiful. Very clean. Very quiet. Host was nice and easy to contact. Guests should be aware that cell signal in the barn is very weak but much better outside. Could not connect to internet either. Not a great location if you need to work during your stay but it's fantastic if you want to unplug and relax for the weekend. It's a very peaceful location.

Excellent Property and Hosts

It was such a good time. Adorable renovated barn and beautiful property. The pictures didn’t do it justice! We went ziplining and to Landoll’s castle for dinner about 15-20 minutes from the property and had a blast. Great for a group outing! Very clean, lots of land and a great fire pit.

Wonderful Experience

We had a great place to stay while visiting Mohican State Park. Host communicated via text several times to make sure that we had everything that we needed. Location is down a dirt road which meant a quiet vacation but also means that it takes 20 minutes to get to the popular destinations. Plenty of beds without being too crowded. Very clean house with nice amenities. Owner maintains a webpage which you should consider using to save on booking costs.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly Esselburn

Host profile image
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!

Why they chose this property

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!

What makes this property unique

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.
