  • Insider's Info

    Travelers are always looking for memorable and relaxing experiences. Let’s discover more through the words of our innkeepers. Many thanks to Loretta Coblentz for sharing her own secrets with BBOnline.com!
    Why do most travelers stay at your inn?

    Many people are returning guests or come on a recommendation of another guest who stayed here. Some come from seeing us on the internet or from magazine feature.

    What are you best known for? What makes your inn unique? What do you love most about your inn?

    We are known as wonderful hosts, particularly because we explain the Amish culture to our guests. We are unique because a.) This is a historic structure (barn) b.) We share about the area and culture. What I love most about our inn is that it is simply beautiful. Many people, when they walk in, turn around and look and say, "Oh, this is nice (or beautiful)"

    If someone has never been to your city, what is the #1 reason to come visit?

    People come to our area because it is the largest community of Amish in the world. The countryside, with scenic hills and valleys team with cultural experiences unlike any other region in Ohio or surrounding states. Annually over 4 million visitors come to our area to enjoy the culture, arts and crafts, unique Amish, Mennonite, Swiss foods, farmer's markets, and more.

    What’s the best compliment you have ever received about the inn?

    Just last week on Trip Advisor this was posted by a guest: "It reminded me of Wilderness Lodge in Disney World, only on a smaller scale." I was amazed by that statement.

    What’s the best kept secret about the area?

    The best kept secret about the area is those Amish-owned home-business places that are not advertised otherwise, but we promote them with our listing of "Top Places to Go and Things To Do" list.

    If a traveler is staying at your inn for 4 nights, what should he/she do in the area?

    Amish homes and farms open seasonally - Amish Home at Yoders or the Farm at Walnut Creek. Big time now we have two theatre options: Amish Country Theatre and DHG Live Theatre presenting Amish Musicals (Seasonal). Rolling Ridge Ranch, Flea Market, three different Swartzentruber Amish homes (open year-round) on our list, Woodlyn Coach (carriage restorer), Bowman's Harness(Amish leather and farm store), Keim Lumber, Charm Boot and Harness, Hershberger's Antiques, over 20 different hardwood furniture showrooms, three different cheese houses, Animal markets three different days of the week, several different wineries, Lehman's Hardware (extraordinary, provide old-fashioned goods and supplies), Amish and Mennonite and upscale dining available (at least 10 different eateries and restaurants), Rebecca's Bistro, Hickory Rocker Shops, Numerous Quilt Shops, Amish owned Country Stores throughout the countryside, the Holmes County Hiking Trail, Golf Courses, Warther's Museum (This place is amazing), Amish and Mennonite Heritage Center, Wendell August Forge, Potteries, Amish Bakeries, Coblentz Chocolates, Amish Country Peddler, Berlin Village Gift Barn and back-to-back shops in Berlin. The vistas are spectacular and the charm of seeing horse-drawn carriages and workhorses farm gives the experience of being in another country and seemingly in a bye-gone era. We partner with Amish Heartland Tours who offer narrated tours of the countryside with stops and meals in Amish homes.

    Additionally, we have special events and festivals nearly every weekend during fair weather. Little town and hamlets have their own homecomings and festivals, which people love to attend.

    There are many more places in the countryside too numerous to mention. There is no zoning in Holmes County, so there are businesses everywhere, such as the old Amish lady who is a broommaker. Oh yes, Antique Auction every Monday night. (All of these from 5 minute to 25 min drive).

    Is there anything within walking distance of your inn?

    The Tarragon Restaurant, offering the finest dining available in Holmes County.

    What is your favorite restaurant/food in the area?

    Oh my, we have so many good restaurants. I ask people what they are looking for in the way of dining so that I can direct them to their option of choice. For fine dining, the Tarragon Restaurant next door, for great Amish-style food with salad bar, I recommend Mrs. Yoder's in Mt. Hope; however Farmstead and Der Dutchman are just as good. For later dining, Bags Sports Pub in Millersburg.

    Any good area guides/websites that travelers could reference?

    Amish Heartland tours

    How many rooms does your inn have?

    We have 11 rooms here, but we also have the original farmhouse right beside the barn; will accommodate a family or friend group of 5. We presently are developing another property,(which will be called Apple Hill) and it will be a retreat accommodation for up to 16 people.

    Do you accept pets?

    We are sorry. We do not accept pets. East Holmes Veterinary Clinic will board pets; however, they do not offer Sunday pickup, so this will work if people are staying until Monday, (unless for certain holiday weekends, Tuesday).

     

  • The Barn Inn Cuisine

    Each morning awaken to a sumptuous Amish-Country Cuisine breakfast served daily for our guests staying at the Gehrig House and Barn Inn locations.

This entree is just about as perfect as any dish can be.

  • History of The Barn

     

     

    In the early 1900s, farmer and cheese maker Fred Gehrig and his family made and sold cheese from this homestead, once a 90 acre farm. Every day except Sunday, farmers brought their milk by horse and wagon or by truck to the cheese house. There was a time when Fred, with a truck drove and picked up milk from local farms.

    The cheese house had a basement where spring water flowed into a trough where the milk was cooled until it was made into cheese. The 250 to 300 pound wheels of cheese were taken by wheelbarrow to the basement of the house where they were cured in vats. The vats still exist in the basement of the house. Until the mid 1930s, cheese and other dairy products were sold wholesale and retail from an outside door leading to the basement.

     

     

     

    Barn Renovation, 1997

    A 101 year old Amish man, who was Fred's handyman and cheese maker, shared his thoughts before he died in 1999. He recalled: "That's the third barn on the foundation. The first barn deteriorated and was replaced with a second barn before my time. In 1919, I saw a bolt of lightening that struck the barn, causing it to burn, and I helped build the present barn." Friends, family, neighbors and a general contractor joined in a community effort and had the barn rebuilt within a few months. All of the needed lumber was cut from the trees on the farm.

    In the present barn one can see evidence of the previous barns. There are beams with burn and scorch marks; and pegs and notches in beams that were previously in other positions. One hand hewn beam exists in the basement of the barn.

  • How To Find Us

    Listed below you will find directions and maps to The Barn Inn, our Holmes County, Ohio bed and breakfast, located in the heart of Amish Country. Our inn is a cozy and convenient alternative to hotel lodging in Millersburg or Berlin. Make The Barn Inn your home base for your Amish Country, Cleveland, or Columbus vacation. We look forward to hosting your stay. Before you set out on your journey, please also take note of the additional information below.

    Please Note: Our County road signs are small. Look Carefully. Also, as you enter Holmes and Wayne Counties, please be aware of slow-moving vehicles and horse-drawn buggies.

    Holmes County, well south of Ohio's snow belt, receives far less snowfall than Cleveland and northeast Ohio. Holmes County maintenance crews do an excellent job of clearing roads and providing for safe roadways. Please call us if you have any questions regarding winter road conditions.

    YOUR SAFETY IS IMPORTANT. Barn Inn guests are not held to their reservations in the event of weather advisories. Should adverse road conditions arise, and you should find it necessary to cancel, we ask that you call us. Please visit our Policies page for more information.
