What is it about grandparents that is so lovely? I’d like to say that grandparents are God’s gifts to children. And if they can but see, hear, and feel what these people have to give, they can mature at a fast rate. – Bill Cosby
September 12 is Grandparent’s Day in America and at the Inn we’d like to offer you a perfect opportunity to show your appreciation for the grandparents in your life.
Plan a stay for your loved ones on September 12 and we will take $50 off of your grandparents lodging and $10 off of any spa treatments. They will also enjoy breakfast in our award-winning restaurant as well as a special gift upon check out!
Rest, relaxation, and peace are to be found at the Inn. Fall is upon us and it is beautiful in the Hocking Hills!

As we posted earlier, Innkeepers Ellen and Terry’s son, Benjamin, was a great help to the Inn throughout the summer and will be missed as he heads back to college. Well this week Ellen and Terry got the pleasure of dropping him off in North Carolina and then spending a few days visiting Inn’s in the beautiful state.
They were pleased to stay at the Pine Crest Inn in Tryon. Built in 1906 and a member of Select Registry Inns, the Inn proved to be the romantic, mountain escape that it promised to be. Evenings were spent casually with pizza and beer and the good company of Innkeeper Carl Claudle. Much time was spent discussing beekeeping, a hobby that both Carl and Terry are learning to enjoy.
Ellen and Terry were also happy to travel the mountainous area to Saluda and visit with Innkeeper Bob Thompson at The Orchard Inn. Also a member of Select Registry Inns, The Orchard Inn is located on 20 acres just at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains and below the village of Saluda, whose entire downtown has been designated on the National Historic Registry. They were even able to make time for hiking and antiquing in this picturesque piece of America.
Ellen and Terry had a fun and relaxing time exploring the gorgeous state of North Carolina and are looking forward to their next visit!

Summer Projects in Hocking Hills
Builder, designer, maintenance man, and Innkeeper Terry Lingo and his college son Benjamin have been hard at work at the Inn this summer. Home for five weeks from North Carolina State, where he is majoring in Civil Engineering, Ben has not only been able to gain some hands-on experience but also helped with the construction of various projects throughout the Inn.
To improve our very popular fire circle, Terry and Ben made the ring much larger and deeper, allowing for air to flow in and out for longer lasting and larger fires. Sandstone was used to build a nice sitting area for the many guests who use the ring to roast marshmallows or just enjoy the quiet evenings in the Hocking Hills.
To further enhance the beauty of the Inn, Terry and Ben built flowerboxes and finished the herb garden that sits on top of The Gathering Place. This involved hauling up 20 tons of dirt and stone and constructing a beautiful gazebo. Soon our gardeners will work their magic and guests will have the pleasure of enjoying yet another picturesque spot at the Inn.
Our regular guests will also notice that an awning has been built over the outside walk-in cooler, making it much easier for our restaurant staff to get food into the restaurant, even in the rain and snow.
Aside from these projects , there are always day to day maintenance needs to keep our facility in top notch condition for our guests so you can bet Benjamin will be missed. As he heads back to school, we are thankful for his help this summer and join our guests in looking forward to enjoying the projects that he worked to complete!
