~ Fall into Autumn ~

Hello!

We have had a WONDERFUL bit of autumn weather here in Ohio...and the leaves are starting to turn...YIPPEEEEEE! It is my ABSOLUTE favorite season!

Be sure to take advantage of the turn in season and plan a visit here before this wonderful season turns to snow! We have decorated the inn in "fall fashion" and the festivals are starting to some into full swing. The Apple Butter Stirrin' Festival at Roscoe Village is always a favorite. It is the weekend of the 17th-18th of October. Can't you just smell that apple butter cooking outdoors in the crisp autumn air? YUM......

All of you motorcycle riders out there will LOVE our roads here in Coshocton County! They twist and turn and have some straight stretches, too. The "Triple Nickle" (Rte 555) is one route that is close to the inn that many bikers seem to like. We can also point out places to stop along the way, as well! Don't forget that the leaves are going to be in full color soon....can you feel the wind on your face and see all of those beautiful reds, yellows and oranges?

Hope to see you soon!
