Hisrich Hills House Bed & Breakfast and ArtFarm — Hotel in New Philadelphia

Spending a weekend in this historic cabin is like stepping back through time. Standing within the roughhewn log walls, beside the massive stone hearth, you can feel yourself slipping back to a simpler past when families would sit beside the warming fire at night enjoying a few short hours together at the end of the day. The beams still carry the marks of those who cut and shaped them from the surrounding forest.

Nestled far away from any nearby cities, you can stare up at the star-filled skies the air filled with the sounds of the night. On my first night, I took a night hike under a cloudless sky, a crescent moon hanging low just over the treetops. It was walk not once interrupted by the sound of a car, truck, or a neighbor’s TV.

I truly hope they open the back property up for same purpose of relaxation and beautiful senery. If they offered access to all 3 possible homes, I will book no less than 5 times a year, especially fall colors, which were poor this year. Highly...

It is a privilege to stay in this historic, restored cabin/home. The restoration and decorating are tastefully done and inviting. Three separate sleeping areas are helpful but the space is still nice for a single couple on a getaway. A wood burning fireplace is a big plus and firewood is supplied making this a four season destination. It is a great place to escape back in time and get off the grid...
