The falls are glistening this winter. With the mixture of rain and snow thus far, the ice formations give way to the water flowing behind them leaving an imprint in your mind not be forgotten. It is a photographer’s paradise.
Winter time is the perfect time of year to take extra special care of our staff. With the restaurant closed on Tuesdays, it allows us time to have parties and outings for our team. Click here to see some photos. Our housekeeping department went out to eat. And, we hosted our “after holiday” staff party in The Gathering Place and Fireside Lounge.

Wellness Principles
There are seven foundational wellness principles that form the basis of health and wellness. Each principle follows the laws of nature because that is the only way to sustain good health.
The wellness principles are:
- Think
- breathe
- drink
- eat
- sleep
- exercise
- detox
- environmental
|
|
 |
|
| Within each principle there are opportunities to make good or bad choices. If you make poor choices, illness may result. If you make good choices, over time you may achieve vibrant health. The principles may seem simple, and they are in a way. But in today’s world of artificial and processed foods, artificial light, toxins, limited or inappropriate exercise, and constant stress, living by these simple principles can be very challenging. The more you control your lifestyle and make healthy choices, the closer you get to wellness. |

SWEETHEARTS CELEBRATE WITH TIME TOGETHER
February brings to mind flowers, candy hearts and chocolates. But there’s really no better way to show your love than by creating unforgettable memories of shared special times. Valentine’s Day at the Inn lets couples enjoy a legendary romantic getaway and share an elegant dinner. Since Valentine’s Day falls on a Tuesday this year, we’re offering our fabulous Valentine’s dinner on three evenings: Feb. 11, 14 & 18.
Chef Anthony will sweep guests off their feet with his special menu. Lovers enjoy an amazing three course meal for just $49 per person. To sweeten the deal: Couples who stay with us on Feb. 14 enjoy an incredible 25% off of their lodging.
Not able to make it to one of our Valentine’s Day dinners? That’s alright! Give your sweetie the gift that promises to keep your romance alive – an Inn & Spa at Cedar Falls gift certificate. We offer a truly romantic getaway in every season, so give the gift certificate today and enjoy special time together when it works for your schedule. (You don’t need Valentine’s Day as an excuse to visit us!) Our gift certificates are the perfect way to make even the most last-minute shopper look like a hero.
FOR YOUR SWEET TOOTH…
February is National Dental Month. So we’re welcoming all dentists and dental office workers to stay with us and receive a discount Sunday through Thursday throughout February. And March is National Red Cross Month, when all Red Cross volunteers receive 25% off lodging Sunday through Thursday throughout March.
WINES OF THE WORLD TasteINN
Also during February, our legendary winter Wine TasteInn takes place on February 24. Get together with a group of friends and come party the evening away with inn owner Terry Lingo, chef Anthony and selected wine/beer experts. Bring all your questions and a hearty appetite. The February Wine TasteInn will feature Obscure Wines of the World. It’s a wonderful evening where you learn a little, drink a little and laugh a lot! We’ll begin at 6 p.m. with appetizers and your first pour. Cost is $75 per person. TasteInns typically sell out, so call us today to make your reservation: (800) 653-2557.
We’ve had plenty of rain this year, so the waterfalls are gorgeous right now. And winter is a spectacular time to visit the Hocking Hills. Come experience the inn at this special time of year!

This month the wonderful staff at the Inn came together for an evening of family fun and yummy food.
The festivities took place in the Fireside Lounge and Gathering Place, and included a gift exchange, games, Just Dance on the Wii, and even a professional musician, sitting by the fireplace singing and playing everyone’s favorites on his guitar. It was a fabulous time!

There was even a prize!
One of the highlights of the evening was a guest appearance by Charlie, one of the beagles that were born at the Inn in November. He is now living quiet happily with Chef Anthony and his four boys.
We believe we have the best staff at the Inn and that they are responsible for the Inn’s reputation and success. We know that when you visit us, you will agree! Join us in the Hocking Hills this winter! Welcome, and Enjoy!

The hills are finally covered in a beautiful dusting of snow, just in time for the 47th Annual Wi
nter Hike!
The frozen waterfalls and ice formations make for a breathtaking back drop as you trek the 6 miles from Old Man’s Cave to Ash Cave. Better known as the ‘Grandma Gatewood Trail’, the trail is named after the first woman to walk the Appalachian Trail, at the age of 67, no less!
Taking place on Saturday, January 21, this very popular event brings more than 5,000 hikers every year and is free for the whole family. The park offers continuous starts from 9am – 11am at the Old Man’s Cave Visitor’s Center, and shuttles are provided to transport hikers back from Ash Cave. Layered clothing and good footwear are recommended and refreshments will be available at Cedar Falls.
When you’ve finished the hike, warm up in front of the fire in our Fireside Lounge or in any of our cabins or cottages! Relax with a massage at our Spa, and enjoy a delicious gourmet dinner in our award-winning restaurant!
Join us in the Hocking Hills this winter! Things don’t slow down just because there’s snow on the ground! Welcome, and Enjoy!
