My husband and I had a wonderful time at Homes with a View. We needed somewhere close to home and stumlbed upon Homes with a View. We were so pleased with our room, sitting by the fireplace at night, and the jacuzzi tub was wonderful... one evening we took a nice long walk up the country road and just took in the view and the quietness that it had to offer. We will definately stay again, this has become one of our favorite places.

My wife was tickled with the name brand soaps. It felt like a dream. Oh yeah, the bread, cinnamon rolls, and jam were the best. Thank you so much for our great evening. We will be back!

Our 4th Wedding Anniversary brought us to Holmes with a View. We stayed in (Suite #2) and found from the check-in with Paul & Miriam to our departure two days later to be seamless and pleasant. The view is amazing of the rolling hills and we sat on the balcony to watch several horses run and play within close proximity to us. The suite was very clean and up-to-date in its decor. It rained the two days we were there and it added to the cozy, comfortable feel of the place. We enjoyed the fireplace and jacuzzi tub. (very romantic) The cinnamon rolls were delicious and the added surprises like juice, coffee and snacks were a nice touch! We travel quite a bit and websites aren't always true to what you get. You will NOT be disappointed!! It truly was wonderful...we didn't want to leave.

Our visit to Holmes with a View is a way for me and my best friend to spend quality time together. We try to visit twice a year. We just had an overnight stay in October this year. We always love to sit on the wrap around porch and catch up on our lives. The rooms are beautiful. I love to relax in the jacuzzi at night. I love the home made bread left for us in our fully equiped kitchen. We would never go anywhere else for a weekend get-a-way. Thanks to our wonderful hosts for having the vision for this wonderful place.

We just spent a mid-November weekend at Holmes with a View (suite 2), celebrating our anniversary. We found the accommodations to be exceptional. From the ease of reservation, to the explicit directions from Paul and Miriam, to the peace and quiet ... all were very special. The location is ideal, as it is only a short distance from Berlin and Charm and so easy to come and go as you please. Much to our surprise, a loaf of bread, breakfast rolls, and beverages were provided in our suite! We highly recommend Holmes with a View, and hope to return soon.

The internet photos do not do this wonderful inn justice. You must see with your own eyes what you are missing out on. Peace and tranquility await you along with fantastic heart warming views. Neat as a pin with a lot of love and care given to detail and making their guests feel welcome and at home. Without a doubt one of the best inn's I have stayed at in a long time; close to town and shops yet tucked beautifully into the countryside...the window views are enough to keep you coming back again and again. Miriam could not have been friendlier. This is a must see...we enjoyed it! Terri

We have stayed at Holmes with a View three times now and expect to go back again. It sits outside of town, on the edge of a pasture, and we love to sit on the deck, eat cheese and crackers, drink wine, and watch the horses play! It's in Amish/Mennonite country and it's enjoyable just to drive the back country roads and watch the people. The children have an innocence about them that our children don't have. The rooms are large, clean, comfortable and there are always rolls, coffee, etc. on hand. If you're looking for a place to relax and get away from it all -- this is the place! Food is available close by and it's always good -- and inexpensive. Try it -- you'll like it!!!!!

The locally baked cinammon rolls waiting for us on the kitchent counter were a delightful touch, and tasty also. A fully stocked coffee service was also a pleasant surprise. Being just south of Berlin, placed us very close to all of the shops & restaurants that we usually visit. All of the electronics worked well and the satellite service worked without any issues.

My fiance and I went to Holmes with a View for the second time around (suite #2), and this time was even better than the first. I must say that Paul and Miriam (innkeepers) set a pretty high standard with regards to the upkeep of the property - it is just beautiful, inside and out. Okay, to start, there's a great sense of privacy, as each suite has its own car port area near the suite entrance. Upon entering the suite, you get the immediate feeling of cleanliness, coziness and warmth - the furnishings and appliances are up-to-date and of exceptional quality. Since the first time we visited in October of 2008, there have been upgrades to a number of amenities, including the TV (new flat screen) and the king-size bed. Paul and Miriam really had a great vision when they created Holmes with a View, and they keep the guests in mind, considering the upgrades. They even provide a book that has a synopsis bio of themselves and Holmes with a View. It lists local activities and grocery stores as well. This review is being submitted thanks to the free internet access provided. There are no in-suite telephones, but for us, that was an addded bonus. The kitchen in our suite was stocked with continental breakfast items - the cinnnamon rolls from Hershberger's Farm & Bakery are phenomenal! I'll definitely be calling in special orders to them. We appreciated the in-suite whirlpool tub. There's a fireplace for colder times of the year. Now to the View... It's just beautiful...rolling countryside. Dotted with small farmhouses, a wheat field (I think), and trees that fade off into the distance, you get caught up in the serenity of the view. This B&B is definitely appropriately named. As I sat on the wrap-around deck, it was so tranquil watching the horses as they grazed the fields. The setting is very picturesque - I kept snapping away using my camera. Holmes with a View is postcard pretty. Many thanks to Paul and Miriam for a wonderful and relaxing stay.

Because our arrival was late evening and after many area restaurants were close, we were able to bring food and wine to prepare in the kitchen that was adequately equiped for such a purpose. Fresh bread, cinnamon rolls, jams, butter, and juice were provided for a continental breakfast. The innkeepers were accomodating and helpful in guiding us to area sights and restaurants.

It was the most serene setting I could ever imagine but close enough to several towns to enjoy the area. The accomodations are terrific, BEAUTIFULLY decorated, spacious rooms, and clean beyond comparison. I did not have the opportunity to meet the owners but the facilities speak for themselves. The baked goods from Harshbargers just down the road are terrific, and it was so wonderful to have fresh o.j. ready and waiting. From what I understand, it is not your typical B&B, but in my book that is a good thing. I will go back at the first chance I get, or the next time my dad agrees to pay!

What a charming and unique place to complete the celebration of my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. My mother loved the circular design of the cottages that provided windows from every angle of the building. She enjoyed the sun streaming through early in the morning and the majestic view of the countryside as everything was preparing to turn green for planning season. The owners welcomed my parents with a pleasant surprise-a gift of thoughtful treats. They loved the whirlpool tub and the two person shower. It was so spacious and clean. The decor was the perfect balance of ultra modern and country quaint. It is also very eco-friendly with large windows and a skylight that allows you to conserve electricity until it gets dark. I knew my mother would love this place, but my father was overly impressed by Holmes with a View. When we first entered he kept saying, "This is nice. This is really something else."

Although the hot tub on the deck was nice we were disappointed that the room itself. It was much smaller and then the other suites and much more expensive. The kitchenette was barely adequate and there was little room in the living/bedroom. The people in the room above us were very noisy and woke us up at 6 in the morning.

My husband and I wanted an affordable 3-day getaway to recharge. Holmes with a View winter discount rates were just the ticket! The unique octogonal unit had a breathtaking view of Amish farmland. The unit is compact but very well designed and extremely comfortable, and we really enjoyed the fireplace. We were delighted to find the unit stocked with wonderful cinnamon rolls, jams, juice and more! Every element was tasteful and the innkeepers thought of everything from reading material to a selection of CDs to a snuggly afghan. While the unit has an oven, microwave, frig and outdoor grille, we ate lunches and dinner out and particularly enjoyed a wonderful gourmet dinner at the nearby Inn at Honey Run. If we had visited in summer, I would have enjoyed cooking steaks on the grill and lounging on the deck. We did see many, many stars on our first evening. The sound of horse-drawn buggys clip-clopping by occasionally added to the atmosphere. We were within an easy drive of many attractions and Warther's was our favorite. Visiting off-season allowed us to avoid the crowds. Our mini-vacation was a perfect blend of interesting things to do and time to just relax. We'll definitely be back!

My husband and I decided to treat ourselves with a little romantic trip before Christmas. I knew that I wanted to go to Amish Country and do some shopping so I decided to look online and book a place for us to stay. While looking for places online, Holmes with a View really stuck with me and it looked like a very nice place to get some well deserved rest and relaxation! We got more than what we were looking for. We could not have been happier with our stay and our accomodations! We were more than comfortable and very much at home in our suite, not to mention that extras that Paul and Miriam provide in your room such as fresh baked bread and cinnamon rolls, a nice DVD selection, and the Bath & Body Works soap and lotion! We know that we want to take a trip down to Amish Country again in the fall and we already know where we will be staying! I recommend this place to everyone and pass out Holmes with a View brochures all the time!

Innkeeper Response
It's certainly understandable that a guest might be disappointed were he to expect a full course hot breakfast. Holmes with a View is not your typical B&B in that the Innkeepers do not live on site, but rather a very short distance away, and we provide "Continental" breakfast items already in the suite upon the guest's arrival. This is stated on our web site. When given the opportunity, this is also explained when potential guests make telephone or email enquiries. (We are sometimes classified as an "Inn" or "cottages".) We provide coffee (reg & decaf)/cream, assorted teas, hot chocolate, orange juice, homemade bread and cinnamon rolls from local Amish bakeries, butter and homemade freezer jam. Microwave popcorn is also provided for snacking. We are also happy to accommodate anyone with dietary restrictions if given that info in advance of the reservation. Our suites also provide fully-equipped kitchens for those who would like to supplement the food items already available to them. Two restaurants are within a mile of our facility and we do also offer specials with breakfast included at local restaurants. Thanks for choosing to stay with us and for reviewing Holmes with a View

Everything was just perfect, from the gorgeous vie on the wrap around deck, to the awesome suite itself. We didn't want to leave. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The only sound heard from time to time was a buggy passing thru from time to time and even that to us was relaxing to hear. I think about our visit almost every day and can't wait to come back and stay longer. The people were friendly, the places easy to get to. There is not enough words to express how much we loved our stay. Thank you both for the perfect get away. Hope to see you soon. P.S. we are recommending Holmes with a view to everyone.

We went for the weekend just to get away, on the recommendation of a friend. It was the most unique place we had every been to. The "apartment" was absolutely spotless! It had all modern, upscale amenities...granite countertops, kohler bath, etc. 360 degree wrap-around porch gives you a view for miles and miles. (We kept saying we felt like we were sitting in the middle of a jigsaw puzzle.) Farmland and wildlife all around us. Just breath taking. Perfectly located so that we could go to all the little towns to shop, eat, walk, and chat with the people who are lucky enough to live there. We absolutely did not want to leave. I felt that the cost was very very reasonable considering the size of the place and the quality of the facility. Just a beautiful weekend. One we will not forget for a long time.

This was our second visit to Holmes With a View, which is quickly becoming our peaceful haven, that "home-away-from-home" place to relax, unwind, and commune with God's masterpiece of gently rolling hills and a slower pace from our everyday lives. Thank you, Paul & Miriam, for creating such a restful and unique oasis where we can recharge our batteries from time to time. From a practical standpoint, we would offer up a suggestion: to our middle-aged spines, it seemed as if the mattress we slept on has gotten beyond its useful life. A firmer mattress without the "sway" in the middle would have made our latest visit even more perfect.

Thank you so much for your kind comments regarding your recent stay. We also appreciate very much your letting us know about the mattress.

We found Holmes With A View to be a wonderful place for relaxation. The suite was extremely spacious with an open and airy feel. The decor was clean and classic, with lovely simple touches. Nothing was overly "fussy". All the furniture was very comfortable, especially the bed! The kitchen was very well supplied and easy to cook in. There were cinnamon rolls and a loaf of fresh bread provided for breakfast. The fridge was stocked with butter and jam for toast as well as cream for coffee/tea. There was an extensive DVD collection as well as a lot of TV channels via satellite. The only problem we had was that we could not figure out how to turn on the fireplace, and did not want to bother Paul and Miriam at 10 at night for such a little thing. The view was indeed lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed watching the horses in the pasture on the hill below. The best part of the stay however was the privacy. Holmes was extremely private and peaceful. We wanted a place to get away from everything, and found that at Holmes with a View!

My husband and I recently spent a couple of days at Holmes With a View. This was a return visit after quite a few years and we were not disappointed by the passing of years. We had originally booked for one night and then decided that we needed to treat ourselves to a second night but found that the same 1 bedroom suite we had requested was not available the second night. Miriam Grossi, one of our hosts graciously put us in a 2 bedroom suite (much larger)for the 2 nights and just locked one of the bedrooms. From the minute we arrived it was a wonderful 2 days. Luscious Amish cinnamon rolls, bread, Amish jam, juice and coffee were in the frig. for our breakfast plus all the snacks one could possibly want. The decor of the suite is eclectic with the use of muted greens with accent colors that blend right into the wrap-a-round view of the Amish Doughty Valley below us. Creature comforts abound with plump sofas and pillows, plush towels, Amish crafted cherry kitchen cabinets, a comfy bed, TV, cable, VCR-DVD players with remotes and a nice deep jacuzzi tub. We thoroughly enjoyed the clip-clop sound of the Amish buggys on the road above us and very little other sound. If you are looking for a place to recharge your batteries and pamper yourself by doing just what you want, I highly recommend the oasis Paul and Miriam Grossi have created at Holmes With a View!

My husband and I have been here on previous occasions. So, I suggested it to my dear friend as a Mother's Day treat for the two of us recently. She was amazed at the uniqueness of it, the quality of everything, and the spectacular views of the countryside!

We recently spent a long weekend with friends at 'Holmes with A View' and we loved it. It let us have privacy while still enjoying the company of our friends. The owners were so nice. They left us cinnamon rolls and a loaf of fresh bread. We plan to return again and again.

The owner went out of his way to come and get us because of an emergency phone call we received during our stay. He even let us come back up and use his phone to make another call and it was late at night. The amenities were wonderful. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet.

We stayed at Holmes with a View during the worst Winter storm in 2008 and the view of the valley in the snow was breath taking. The owners brought us a nice home cooked meal because everything around us was closed. (Very thoughtful people) It is a very romantic place to stay. Can't wait to come back.

My husband took me to Holmes co. for my birthday, and we decided to stay at Holmes with a View. I was very much surprised. I had many reservations about our lodging. I'm the type of person who doesn't want the bed and breakfast thing, staying in a stranger home is not for me. But this was so much different. We both got much needed rest and enjoyed the Amish and their lifestyles. Mr and Mrs Grossi are wonderful inn keepers. The home was exceptionally clean and neat, they provided us with snacks etc. Again it was a wonderful experience.

Loved the view! Loved how remote and private it felt-we had whole house to ourselves. Rooms are beautiful. We had house with hot tub outside. Had really enjoyable relaxing time. Instead of staying one night we should've stayed couple of nights. This what we are going to do next time. We felt sorry to leave.

What a lovely view it was when we arrived...both inside and outside. The furnishings and cleanliness were top notch. There were even fresh bread and cinnamon rolls awaiting us in the kitchen. And the view overlooking the valley was so serene...we wish we could have stayed longer. I brought my mother and aunt as an early Mother's Day present...they were so happy with the accommodations. I would suggest reserving a top floor unit, though, because I could hear alot of noise above my bedroom since we were on the lower level. We definitely plan to return!

My husband and I stayed here for his birthday in May. We have stayed in Ohio's Amish country before at several other places, but have not yet found a place that we immediately said we would go back to. I think we finally did! Starting with the booking process, the owners (Paul and Miriam) were fantastic about answering questions (email and telephone) and doing everything they could to make it a special trip for us. When we got there, our room was just as it looked online at the website - beautiful! In the kitchen area, the owners were wonderful and left us various snacks and breakfast items, allowing us to sleep in as late as we wanted and not worry that we would miss breakfast. They left us fresh baked cinnamon rolls, fresh Amish bread, orange juice, water, coffee and tea, along with various jellies and butter and also hot chocolate & microwave popcorn. The in room jacuzzi was incredible (there is no view from this jacuzzi though (Suite #6) so that was the ONLY thing I would change). There is a flat screen TV in the room where they left instructions for all the channels received (around 100) as well as about 20 DVD movies for us. Go figure that my favorite movie was there!! Our suite also had the only outdoor hottub. You do have to go outside onto your deck for the hottub, but it was worth it. Once you are there, it is very private and overlooks the Amish countryside. The bed was very comfortable and waking up in the morning surrounded by the view was just incredible. We will definitely go back!!!

What a wonderful place to enjoy the beautiful scenery and really relax. Our suite was just beautiful and the views our of every window were so pretty. We spent 5 hours into the evening just sitting on the balcony, relaxing, enjoying the birds and beautiful view for miles. We have stayed several other places in this area, but found this to be the most enjoyable.

It is a very peaceful setting. The decor is very cozy in each of the three suites we stayed in. Love the baked goods from the local Amish bakeries that are waiting for you when you arrive. We were lucky enough to catch a great view of the sunrise as well as the views of the rolling hills. The owners go out of their way to make you feel at home and include many little extras. One of the few places we can go to get away and feel completely relaxed,

The situation of these rooms overlooking the peaceful countryside is ideal for a weekend of retreat from stress and bustle. The town of Charm is indeed charming, and in this cozy retreat you can feel trivial aggravations washing away. The rooms themselves are modern and minimalistic, very comfortable.

We stayed on a weekend where we were snowed in, and the hosts brought food to everyone that was there....spaghetti and meatballs, fresh peaches, cake....they went above and beyond and it was very appreciated. We look forward to our next trip back.

Whether your looking for a place to get away from the children or just a breath taking view, you have found it. Paul and Miriam know how to treat guest and make you feel like you are family. Their B&B has all the accomodations of home and a view you won't soon forget. My wife of 17 years and I fell in love with Holmes with a View and each other all over again. Don't forget to ask about a massage, their pricing is outstanding.

The owner's are fabulous - from the home made strawberry jam to the awesome suites they provide - you could not ask for anything more. The suites are super clean, very spacious yet very comfortable. Holmes with a View is the perfect get a way when you need a break from the hustle of the city and life. We have and will continue to recommend HWAV to our friends and family.

Holmes with a View was far above what my husband and I expected. We knew from the pictures it would be a nice place, but when you walked into the home, it felt like you belonged. Everything was just right and the view was breathtaking. The next morning was wonderful because the juice was fresh, and the homemade bread and jam was wonderful. We enjoyed eating breakfast and drinking our coffee overlooking the countryside. We really hated to leave, but are planning on visiting in the summer.

This is the place I chose to share with my 4 daughters as a girls' weekend. My husband and I have been there several times and found Holmes with a View spectacular. When my 24 year old daughter was accepted to the Peace Corps for 27 months, I was determined to have a weekend that we would all remember. Holmes with a view was PERFECT !!! I can't even begin to tell you the memories we savored and the wonderful times we shared. Only know that as a mother....I will cherish this time that I had with my adult daughters.
