Bobby, Beth and Brooke Hershberger have been operating the Pine Loft Bed and Breakfast in Millersburg Ohio since Spring of 2000. More accommodations were added in the Fall of 2009 when they opened up Maple Lane Farmhouse for guests. Whether you are looking for a cozy, quiet get away for two or you are traveling with family and friends, they would enjoy hosting you. Both lodging areas are located on a 100 + acre farm and are within walking distance of each other when using the old farm lane or 1/2 mile driving distance.The Pine Loft rests on a hill surrounded by farmland where guests can take in the peaceful beauty of the countryside. One may see wild turkeys and deer as they walk the mowed paths around the farm.

“We enjoyed the coffee cake and hearing the wind blowing through the trees and cornstalks...such a change from the noise of the city.”
“Enjoyed another nice visit to your farm. It is such a pretty, peaceful area. Took a nice long walk this morning with Nellie at our side, worked up an appetite for the great coffee cake.”
“Thank you Beth and Bobby for your warm hospitality in this oasis of peace and beauty. My spirit is always refreshed and renewed after spending a night here. Watching morning dawn over the cornfields was especially beautiful.”
“What a terrific space to use as our home base while exploring Holmes County. Great value in pricing as well compared to other places we’ve stayed. We were looking for a “non-commercial” place to stay and we certainly found it here.”
