Company Description
|
This two bedroom private B&B is located in the “Heart of Central Ohio” and the Gateway to the Mohican area, Johnny Appleseed Amphitheater, and Amish country.
If you're looking to get away from the city, this B&B sits between Columbus and Cleveland, Ohio and minutes from skiing, canoeing, hiking, boating, camping, fishing, Amish Country and many more outdoor activities.
This home has been passed down for four generations. As the family prospered in farming, the home was replaced by a two story Victorian home in 1900. Thus, the “old home” was used as a summerhouse where meals were prepared during the warmer seasons.
By combining the past with the present, The Old Summer House has been fully restored for your comfort and pleasure. You will feel as if you stepped back in time as you enter the home. Family antiques as well as accessories are displayed throughout the home. The red oak floors have been professionally restored to a warm finish. Period lighting, hardware and original interior doors reflect the 1800’s era.
You will be served in the “Sitting Room” a full country breakfast at your convenience. Dee Dee serves her own homemade jellies along with her specially prepared meal. There are plenty of homemade snacks and beverages found either in the hidden refrigerator or on the antique walnut table used by ancestors many years ago.
After breakfast you may want to stroll through the 1800’s gardens ,take a walk in the woods or just relax on the front porch swing and enjoy the beautiful countryside. Whatever your pleasure, we hope to make your stay a pleasant experience.
