Your Premier Holmes County Getaway!

Welcome to Whitetail Ridge Lodge, your premier Holmes County getaway! We are located between Holmes County's Amish Country and Mohican Country, providing guests with either option for your vacation destination!
This tranquil retreat is tastefully furnished and beautifully landscaped and is nestled in a scenic woodland farm setting. The home offers more than just your basic cabin, offering 4400 square feet of luxurious comfort, this gorgeous timber frame home will not disappoint! Enjoy the view from the lower level walkout stone patio, the attached outdoor pavilion, the master bedroom balcony, or the front porch with family or friends.

The lodge is fully furnished with many pieces custom made by our local Amish craftsmen. It boasts three king sized beds plus a pullout. The custom made dining room table seats 12 and the new soft leather sectional in the great room offers the comfort to curl up with a favorite book or watch a game on the big screen TV or check your social media with the WIFI.

We can accommodate up to 6 guests. We do have a per person fee after the base rental of two (2) people. Please understand and fill in the correct number of people staying when you book your stay. Vrbo automatically calculates the charges for you when you make the reservation. Please be honest. We know when you have more people stay and you will be charged for the maximum number of guests. We are sorry this must be stated.

Summertime stays invite you to enjoy the outdoor pavilion where you can light a fire in the stone fireplace, while you grill steaks on the charcoal park style grill and soak in the beauty and quiet of this rural location. Winter offers a whisky barrel game table or the warmth of two gas fireplaces where you can kick back and just relax.

Check in is 3:00 p.m. check-out is 10:00 a.m. We have contact free check in to provide you with a safe entry. Thank you for allowing us to share our beautiful home with you for your stay!

Beautiful!!!

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful lodge in Holmes County! It had everything we needed to feel at home. We had an easy drive to Loudonville to enjoy hiking and a day at Mohican and then back to make dinner and enjoy a quiet evening and fire.

Wedding weekend stay

Such a clean and comfortable place. Our daughter got married at Mohican Tree House resort and this was conveniently located. Iwe stayed here with friends and it was a wonderful place to come to at the end of the day and relax. We enjoyed watching deer at the pond. The owner was so very helpful in communication, directions and suggestions!

Great home for a sister's weekend

Amazing property. Very private, tranquil, and offers an array of unmuffled sounds of nature. The home and furnishings showcase the Amish construction and craftmanship. Prompt communications with Kelly, the property owner. All instructions about our stay were provided on the website and at the house. It was perfect. We plan to visit again in the near future.

Loved the large living area, large kitchen, separation of bedrooms. Loved the deck and fireplace outside where we gathered in the evening. A perfect place to gather for a long weekend with friends we hadn't been able to see during the last few years.

Whitetail Lodge was simply wonderful. We entertained our family in an at home environment. Having this house for our family gathering allowed us to interact from the beginning of our trip to the end opposed to being segregated into individual rooms at a hotel:)
