A country inn since 1989

A view
of forever,
at the end of
a gravel road.

One hundred and forty-two acres of rolling woodland and farmland in the foothills of the Appalachians. Nine hand-built cabins, ten inn rooms, one dining house, and the kind of quiet you forget exists.

A note from the ridge

Sit on a rocking chair with your feet up, sipping slowly from a glass of home-brewed raspberry iced tea. Wait for sunrise and a breakfast of Foggy Bottom pancakes and homemade applesauce with a view of forever.

Murphin Ridge Inn invites guests to leave their cares at home.

A day at the ridge

The hours,
unhurried.

Breakfast, trails, Amish Country, dinner, and the porch after dark - the whole stay can move at the pace of the land around it.

8:30 am

Breakfast is served

Foggy Bottom pancakes, homemade applesauce, fresh fruit, and the slow beginning of the day.

The three-mile loop

Walk the property trails, listen for birds, and come back when the porch starts calling again.

A home away from home.

If you're in town for a class at the Tactical Defense Institute, we'd be glad to have you. It's a firearms and self-defense school at 2174 Bethany Ridge, on 186 acres. They train civilians, law enforcement, military and federal agencies, and corporate security teams. Call them at 937-901-6900.
