Holmes with a View

This was wonderful trip for me and my husband. We have three young children and have not been away since our honeymoon. Everything about this b&b was beyond our expectations. We will definitely visit soon.

A friend and I stayed here because it is the halfway point between her store and mine. What a fabulous decision! Rooms were beautiful and clean. This is the first place I've ever stayed that I felt comfortable not wearing slippers! The view is spectacular and we actually decided to work from this beautiful place instead of going in to work...great decision!! Thanks for a wonderful week!

We stay at Holmes with a View each year for one weekend, and have continued this tradition for the past 3 years. HWAV is something that we now gauge other B and B's from. The view, the clean and open, airy space, the amenities, the proximity to Wooster and its fabulous dining, or if you like "home cooking", there are alot of options around the area. Bring your bikes and see the country side during your stay. HWAV captures the very essence of the best of Ohio. There are a couple things folks need to know though 1) unless you plan on driving, bring your own food to cook 2) a continental breakfast is left in your suite: yogurt, cinnamon rolls, fresh bread and homemade jelly; juice and coffee 3) there is nothing open in Sundays in the area, so you really have to plan ahead. HWAV is simply marvelous. Give it a try!

My husband, daughter and I took my mother-in-law on a weekend away for Christmas. We have always stayed in cabins, so thought we would try something new. Holmes with a View were GREAT. My only suggestion is somehow work on the noise between each suites.

A delightful and relaxing retreat. A great way to reconnect and rejuvenate!

We go to Amish country twice a year, spring and fall, and we always look forward to staying at "Holmes with a View" . Once we discovered "Holmes with a View" five years ago, we have never stayed anywhere else. We have stayed in 3 of the six units, finding each one exceeding the last. Miriam & Paul are great hosts, making sure our every need is met, from the extreme cleanliness of the house, the excellent accommodations and the well- stocked (not to mention fresh bread and cinnamon rolls) kitchen. Stay here...you won't be disappointed!

I spotted this while browsing BedandBreakfast.com and it looked interesting. My wife and I were amazed when we arrived. The setting and views were beautiful. The lodging is very private and quite unique. We loved the snacks that were provided. The views from inside the unit were great and the fireplace got the chill off of us when we returned from our travels. The bed and quiet provided a restful sleep and we were rewarded with a view of the beautiful sunrise through the many windows. A great place to get away from the noise and rush.

We are a newlywed couple who were looking for a place to spend our first New Year's Eve being married. A friend told us about Holmes with a View and we thought it looked like the perfect place for us. We called and Suite #6 was the only thing available. It was like it was waiting on us. It was the perfect suite for us. The outdoor Jacuzzi, king size bed, wood burning stove and kitchenette with the two person whirlpool in the bathroom was the perfect touch. Not to mention the breathtaking view! We were so impressed! Everything was perfectly clean, and the management were so friendly! We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. It was like a dream. So relaxing and the perfect way to bring in the New Year of 2013! We were so relaxed. It was the perfect getaway. We loved it!!! Jon and Emily Booth

My wife and I recently celebrated our 25th anniversary and decided to look for a BnB in Holmes county Ohio. Holmes with a View was everything we were looking for and more. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The view was spectacular. Nearby shopping in the local small towns was convenient and charming. The owners were knowledgeable and helpful in making recommendations for dinner out. And the hot tub and fireplace completed the cozy ensemble of amenities for a very memorable celebration of our 25 years together. We would highly recommend a stay at Holmes with a view.

We went on an overnight trip to the Amish country for my mom's birthday, she wanted to go in the fall 10/2012. She loved the B&B said it was the nicest place she has stayed in as of yet. We had me, my husband, mom, grown son and bother and there was plenty of room. The owners are especially nice and friendly. Was very please with the trip and would go again and highly recommend it to everybody. .It was nice having 3 generations under one roof.

Our accomodations were excellent....will stay there again

We were referred to Holmes with a View by a co-worker and friend. My wife and i have been coming to Amish Country for get aways and shopping for over 20 years so when we heard about Holmes with a view we booked a week for ourselves and our married kids and their spouses. We stayed in mid-October during the peak Fall color season that acentuate the incredible views from the Inn. The rooms are well appointed and meticulously maintained. Each room, we stayed in three separate rooms, were imaculate. I cannot say enough to describe the experience. Relaxing. Quiet. It exceeded my expectations. Holmes with a View will be a regular, preferred stay for lodging when we return. Many thanks to Paul and Miriam for providing such a blessed place to unwind! We loved the stay.

My wife and I came down to spend our 10 year anniversary and spent a wonderful weekend in Holmes with a View. The rooms were very clean and welcoming. No one bothered us, and we awoke to the cows mowing on the hill side. It was a beautiful way to wake up up and have our first coffee in the morning. I would highly recommend Holmes with a View.

My husband and I are so glad we found this beautiful place. We stayed in November but are making plans to return in the spring. Everthimg was wonderful. The attention to detail was outstanding. Felt like home. Thanks

We chose this bed and breakfast for our annual wedding anniversary fall destination! They have always been very enjoyable trips to the area but this choice was outstanding and certainly exceeded our expectations! Right from the start, we felt very warmly welcomed by the owners, followed by the invitation of spacious rooms, wonderful breakfast foods, and views that were also a feast to the senses. The wrap around deck with surrounding windows provided a refreshing view to accompany the morning meal! Of course that was after a wonderful night sleep in very comfy beds that made me forget I was not in my own bed at home! :) We certainly will reccomended Holmes With A View to others and look forward to returning there ourselves in the future. Thanks Holmes for the memories!

My wife and I celebrated our first year of wedded bliss at this cozy little B&B. We really enjoyed the style of rooms and the country atmosphere. The view of the rolling hills, and the clip-clopping of horse drawn carriages as the rolled through the streets was extremely peaceful and calming. The only complaints were the water smelled a little strange to us, and we had some issues checking in, but all in all this was a great trip. Would definitely recommend.

This was our first stay at Holmes with a View and it was awesome! We will most definitely stay here again on our return trips to Holmes County. It was so peaceful and relaxing, just looking out and seeing all the dairy cows in the field below was enjoyable for me. Everything was so clean and decorated nicely and all the treats were delicious!

I and 3 of my friends had a celebratory birthday weekend at Holmes with a View. This was our second stay here, and it was wonderful. The units are roomy, spotlessly clean, and comfortable. We were welcomed with fresh breads, sweet rolls, yogurt, coffees and teas galore, juices and jams! The views are lovely. We did some sightseeing, but we would have been happy to just stay put for our 2 days there.

Hot tub was a two person but large and nice. Bed and Jacuzzi were good. Complaint: No forced heat (furnace) or thermostat. Room has geo thermal and radiant floor heat. Cold in winter. Can use gas fireplace but it takes a while to heat the room. Room was cold when we arrived.

Warm, comfortable, inviting, cozy, romantic, private. I could go on and on. We stayed in suite 1 and it is absolutely beautiful, spotlessly clean with very good quality amenities throughout. I'm sure this is only the first of many stays at Holmes with a View.

This was our 4th stay and as always the stay was fantastic. We love the view, the quiet accomodations and everything. We have already booked reservations for next year. Thank you for everything.

This was our first stay at Holmes with a View. The location overlooking the serene Doughty Valley is beautiful. The room we had was a 1 bedroom on the upper level. Very clean and well maintained. We plan to bring additional family with us on our next stay.

Suite 6 was a wonderful place to celebrate our wedding anniversary! The outdoor hot tub especially nice at night in the moonlight. The room was super clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend "Holmes with a View".

Pleasantly surprised by the comfort and cleanliness, would stay again!

My wife, two of my sisters & myself spent 2 nights here & just fell in love with the place. We had suite 3, a upper level 2 bedroom suite overlooking the farm country. The main room was huge which included a Kitchen area, dineing table & couch & chairs. From anywhere in the room we had a wonderful view as we did from the wrap around deck. The owner was a very nice & personal Lady. The four of us agreed that we would love to go back, except next time we would spend at least 4 nights.

We just spent our 25th Wedding Anniversary at Holmes with a view. It was spectacular and the Suites are awesome and they don't forget any ammenity. They are very clean and private and the views are wonderful Thanks for helping us share a special time in our lifewith providing such a wonderful place. Greg & Barb

We needed a weekend to destress and could not have picked a better place to do it. Even with a neighbor below us, the only sounds we heard were the birds, the horses and the crickets! The view and atmosphere were breathtaking! We have stayed at many other establishments in the area, but the level of excellence does not compare! Paul and Miriam have the foresight to cater to every need of their patrons (even those needs you didn't think of yourself). A great value for the peacefulness, panoramic view and pampering! Stuart and Michelle Beaton, Medina OH

Wonderful secluded spot for a relaxing time away from it all. Accommodations were great also. Nicely furnished. Owners very pleasant and friendly.

We have stayed here several times. It is a very nice facility. Unique and special. We has just one issue - the room had only 2 very flat pillows for the bed, made sleep less that what it should have been.

My Husband and I spent our first anniversary in Suite 1. What a beautiful room! We loved the goodies that were provided. We have already booked for a return trip in October. My suggestion is to get up early to watch the sunrise. I took a lot of good pictures of the view and the horses are a plus. Can't wait to return!

I have traveled to all 50 states and several countries and must count this has one of my top ten greatest places to stay. Our trip was a "girls" outing to Amish Country, OH; 6 of us rented 3 of the 6 suites for one night. We all wish we could have stayed a week! The suites are beautiful, immaculate, and up-to-date in amenities. Breakfast was incredible with homemade bread, rolls, and more! Stay here! Do not miss this treat!

The unique architecture presents a relaxing environment that is beautifully maintained, clean and welcoming! While looking for places to stay across America that would accommodate allergies, we were looking for places with wooden floors. Homes with a View met the requirement!

It is rare to find a place that exceeds one’s expectations, especially after having read the reviews prior to making a reservation. This gem did. After picking up our key from Miriam, we found Unit 2 to be lovely and welcoming; we just stood and smiled after opening the door. The living area was spacious, the kitchen well-stocked, the bed comfortable, and the craftsmanship obvious. That first evening we sat on the deck overlooking neighboring farms, listened to the clip clop of passing buggies, and relaxed. We are both photographers, and this location was ideal because of the easy access to the back country roads, both paved and unpaved, that wind past the working farms and businesses away from the commercial tourist attractions. It is also an easy drive to the Holmes County Trail for biking. It was well worth the trip, and we will definitely return.

We were looking for a location that was quiet and clean and comfortable and Holmes with a View was the perfect answer. We were able to sit on the deck and read without hearing much but the cows and the crickets. The neighbors were friendly and Miriam was always accommodating if we ever were in want for anything. We barely left-the kitchen was easy to use to cook meals and the room was clean & comfortable and a great place to relax. We'll be back often.

Wonderfully relaxing place to rest and recharge from the demands of everyday life. Sitting on the deck watching the cows and hearing the sound of horses hooves on the pavement was a restful reminder of the simple things in life being important.

Another great stay. We love Holmes with a View. It is always so relaxing. Great views. Love the whirlpool tub. Highly recommended!

The owner, Miriam was so pleasant and helpful. The inn was very clean and well stocked. The extras included homemade bread, jam and cinnamon rolls. They even left some chocolates in honor of my husband's birthday weekend! The view from the deck is very peaceful. No crs, phones, kids or people....priceless!

This was our first time at Holmes with a View...wow what can we say...this place was amazing from the circular suite, amenities abound to the peaceful views of Amish country... We only had the opportunity to stay one night but wow...how relaxing... That you for the great place to stay...it was truly a blessing.

This is the 3rd time my wife and I have stayed at Holmes with a View. It is simply an outstanding place to stay. Two recommendations for folks. First, don't bother looking anywhere else, stay here ! And secondly, skip dinner one evening - get some wine, cheese, trail bologna and sit out on the deck and enjoy the quietness and great view.

I stayed there on two different occassions; once in April and once in May. Both trips were made most memorable by the peaceful accomodations. I kept thinking, "I could LIVE like this!" The hosts are the best and the staff are so friendly. Rooms are immaculently cleaned and decorated in charming, sophisticated country accents. The view is fantastic, and the location is central to all the attractions of Holmes County.

Wow! What a find! Serenity, inner peace, tranquility and the most magnificent scenery one could put together all in one package. We are fortunate to have found this place and spent two great days and nights here. We were able to put away the hustle and bustle of our lives and watch in awe as farmers from yesteryear worked their land. Their simplistic way of working and worshiping led us to see what we should truly value in our own lives. We are grateful that Paul and Miriam shared this place with us and so many others. The Carr's from Illinois

This is our second visit to Holmes with a View. It is a great place with great views. The rooms were in excellent condition and we really enjoyed our visit. The reservation process was easy and would recommend staying there for anyone! We will definitely be back.

Very pleasant experience. Owners are outstanding.

My daughter and I stayed overnight in Suite 3. It exceeded our expectations in size, cleanliness, the decor, and view. There was such a peace and calm to the location. We only wished we could have had a longer stay, but, we will be back.

This was our first time staying at Holmes with a View and we were very pleased with everything. The suite was beautiful, views were fantastic, amentities were just right and the owner was very helpful and sweet. We shopped during the day and sat in front of the fireplace at night. It was a very peaceful weekend for us. Thanks.

My husband John and I spent the best two nights in a fantastic bed and breakfast. We were completely taken back by the breath taking view of the place as well as the cleanliness. We had never stayed in a "round" home before, let me tell you it was heavenly ! We had Suite #1 and stayed there March 7 & 8. It was definitely a moving experience! We both would recommend staying at this bed & breakfast ! It's the best one we've been to so far. We've stayed at many b & b's and this one by far is the most outstanding ! Thank you. Elizabeth and John Mramor, Parma Hts, OH

My wife and I were very satisfied with our stay. Getting to the actual buildings might be a bit tricky after a winter storm (it was for us) so be mindful since the buildings are on a hill and the road can be slick! The check-in/check-out procedure was completely smooth and painless. We loved the privacy we received and the room was full of everything we needed. The breakfast food was generous and the farm fresh eggs on request made it. We brought easy to cook meals with us for some of the time and the kitchen was satisfactorily equipped including a dishwasher. The view was outstanding! If you are not familiar with the area there are fantastic restaurants within a 10-30 minute drive including the wonderful Dutch Valley Restaurant at the Carlisle Inn in Sugarcreek. We plan on returning and staying again soon!

We had such a romantic getaway! The room is beautiful and the view...WOW!

We stayed on January 27 and 28. It was a two night stay for our anniversary and i believe we stayed in cottage #5.

We have been married 41 years and over the last 11 anniversaries we have spent most at Holmes With A View. Every January we arrive with excited anticipation. We have never found a more beautiful B&B. All creature comforts are provided amidst a lovely country side. We have recommended it to many of our friends who always say thank you. Will spend our 50th in Holmes Country overlooking the valley below. Thank you for a wonderful place to visit. Nancy & Bob B

We were very pleased with our stay. The delicious rolls, bread and other items in the refrigerator were such a nice surprise. The rooms were spacious and spotless. Location was perfect for easy access to everything in Holmes county. We will definitely make a return visit

We make quarterly trips to get away and stay in the tri-state area [Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky]. We have never stayed in a place so beautiful, comfortable, clean and with all modern amentities. We are planning a return next quarter because we couldn't get enough. You could not be disappointed staying here!

When my wife and I planned a trip to the Rock and Roll Hall of fame we wanted to stay at a nice place that was not in Cleveland. We had always wanted to stay in a nice place and visit the Amish because my wife had never been there before. When looking for a place on line, I could not believe that we could stay in a place like Holmes for the price. We loved it. We were driving back late from Cleveland and it was very cold out said and pouring the rain. When we walked in we turned on the fireplace and wormed up. The next morning we ate the cinnamon roll and breakfast foods that were provided for us. It was great, I would go back just for the cinnamon roll! Most people think that visiting the Amish country is for the older generations but me and my wife are in are 20’s and we loved every minute of it. I would defiantly stay there again.

My mother-in-law loves to read books about the Amish. My sister-in-laws and I decided to take her on an Amish trip. We loved Holmes with a View!!!! Very clean and decorated very nice. We had a wonderful time sitting in the opening living area, after a fun day of shopping, and chatting hours about life's ups and downs by the fire. Loved it. The only complaint would be that we were not told how to open the tricky door, but that is it. Thank you for a beautiful view and warm memories! The Collins Family

This was a great retreat experience - a great view from a greatly appointed room - including a whirlpool bath - made our time together there wonderful. All the kinks left us upon our exiting. Solitude, romance, relaxation, plus tourism oppys were all there - - will look to return!

Four of us stayed together while we explored the area, shopped, dined and best of all came back to our lodging to relax in front of the fireplace! The decor was soothing, the view spectacular, the bed comfortable and best of all we were able to relax and unwind in comfort before retiring for the evening. Everything was supplied for breakfast if we chose to eat in and restocked quickly and unobtrusively. We will definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay...peaceful....beautiful view....room was very clean.....hot tub was fabulous! Stayed for our Anniversary and would recommend Holmes with a view to everyone. Just a short drive to local dining and shops. Great place to relax and let live melt away!

My husband and I of 21 years had our first get-away weekend from the stress, the kids and work. We stayed at Holmes with a view this past weekend Nov 4-5-6, 2011. Did not want to leave it was so relaxing. I want to go back today! I miss it already! We stayed in suite 5 , our favorite of all angles of views! I loved the accommodations, the little extra's, the goodies, the Jacuzzi, the fireplace, everything was perfect! We had beautiful weather and the cows grazing and horses to be seen in the morning, what a site! I can't wait to go back! Highly recommend this bed and breakfast. Very perfect drive into town in the middle of everything, Middlesburg, Berlin and Charm and not far from Mount Hope. We ate Amish food all weekend at the local restaurants...so good! Thank you the hosts for developing a wonderful place of retreat!

We stayed in Suite 2 and it was absolutely wonderful. We stayed two nights and I didn't want to leave. It was so quiet and peaceful. The view is outstanding and I cannot wait to come back again. Loved it!! We have already recommended it to other friends!

This was a much needed trip to just get away from all the chaos and breathe in some country air and relax. We couldn't have chosen a more beautiful and peaceful place than this. Our view was spectacular and since we went in the Fall when the leaves were changing it was doubly beautiful. We can't wait to go back again !

We have been to Holmes with a View several times and have stayed in different rooms. Each one was as nice as the other. It is our favorite bed and breakfast. There is no need to go anywhere else - staying right in our room and enjoying the view is the perfect getaway.

We recently stayed in Suite 6. Very lovely room with access to the hot tub on an outside deck. The room was very clean with modern decor. Large bathroom with jetted tub. We did not use the jetted tub but we did use the hot tub on the deck. I have to say it was kind of small. In order to have total privacy from neighbors you have to shut the porch light off and walk in the dark to the tub. Was kind of hard to do! Once we were in the hot tub the blue light in the tub was fine for us! The heat from the water was relaxing even though not all of the jets worked. All in all the stay was relaxing however I feel it was a little high priced considering its just one room. The price stays the same throughout the year and is the same as the multi bedroom suites in the other houses and sometimes its more than those larger suites (depending on the time of year). We've paid the same for an entire cabin with several bedrooms as we did this one room. Price is the only thing that would keep me from coming back!!!

[Resource Id: InnkeeperResponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you so much for letting us know about the jets in the outdoor hot tub. It was easily remedied by reattaching a tiny hose that had come loose.

This was our second stay at Holmes With A View and I just made our reservations for next year! Very clean, beautiful surroundings, peaceful and the perfect getaway!

My husband and I stayed in Suite 5 and we absolutely loved it! The suite was spotless and very cozy! We were amazed by the view sitting at the table! Unbelievable! Wish we could have stayed one more day! We would love to stay there again! Highly recommend it!

Holmes with a View is like a home away from home atmosphere; quiet, cozy, well maintained and spectacular views of hills and farmland; it has become an expected yearly mini vacation for my husband and I along with our dear friends; three other Pastors & their wives.

This was our third visit. It gets better each time. The rooms are spectacular! Paul and Mariam are the best hosts. The view is great too, so peaceful and the horses are right below your deck in the morning! This place takes you away from the rat race. A great place to relax. This is now our favorite vacation spot. We will be back!!!

My wife and I stay here for special occasions. The view of the Doughty Valley is incredible! Imagine sitting on the porch on a summer evening while sipping a glass of wine and gradually observing nightime settling into this beautiful Amish area. There is great hiking, site seeing, and shopping in the area. The rooms at holmes With a View are immaculate! Even though we usually stay for one night longer stays would work even better.

I cannot begin to state how perfect clean and well appointed the facility was, and the views were beautiful!! we will be back again and again you can be sure! Deborah Hinton Bowling Green Ohio

Holmes with a view was the most peaceful stay we have ever had at a B&B. The surrounding area was most relaxing. I really enjoyed all of the extra amenities provided by the owners. My husband and I felt as if we were in a world of our own, being able to fully relax and enjoy the countryside and really enjoyed watching the farm animals frolicking in their pasture. I highly recommend Holmes with a view to anyone desiring a quiet peaceful getaway.

We celebrated our 40th anniversary at Holmes with a view. The accomodations were fantastic, clean, nicely decorated, well equipped, centrally located to all of the happenings in Amish country. Put this together with great views from our deck ... you could not ask for more. We will definitely make plans to return.

We stayed in the largest unit at Holmes with a View. It was the most beautiful, comfortable, peaceful place I have ever stayed. You are really renting a luxury condo with a view of the rolling farm fields of Holmes County. The wood furniture is all beautiful handmade items. The two bathrooms are large and luxurious, one with a spa tub and one with a double shower. The view is pure country, facing eastward for the sunrise. This is a fantasy suite if you are looking for a place to relax with your stack of novels and contemplate the rural life. Food is cook-your-own or visit a local restaurant - we like Chalet in the Valley but there are many others.

Loved being next to an Amish farm and having horse right in my front yard. Listening to the sounds of buggies clopping by and horses whinnying at night was very relaxing. The little extras-home made bread, cinnamon rolls, coffee, popcorn, juices etc. were a nice treat.

We had a relaxing couple of days, with a beautiful view of the countryside. Holmes with a View had everything in a well maintained large rooms and plenty of space just to walk around inside. Paul and Miriam have a outstanding Bed and Breakfast one that we will surely stay at again.

Beautiful view from each of the rooms and a very beautiful place to stay.

Great experience in the best unconventional place we relaxed. Massimo and Roberta

The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. The perfect place for a relaxing weekend getaway with some wine and someone special. Highly recommended!!

We loved our trip to Ohio's Amish country and our stay at Holmes with a View. We enjoyed having being located right next to an actual Amish farm. The view was absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed watching the horses in the pasture only a few yards away. In the mornings, they would come up to graze right off of our deck. The accommodations were modern, clean and roomy. We loved having our own kitchen to prepare meals and snacks. We aren't the typical "Bed and Breakfast goers," so the privacy of having your own kitchen was perfect. The jacuzzi tub was great!! We had a wonderful and relaxing visit. It was the perfect place for us to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We definitately will be back.

This place is even better the second time around. So relaxing and lots of homemade goodies for breakfast. The view is spectacular. We feel like its home. It's extremely well-equipped (even a Keurig coffeemaker)!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Holmes with a View. The view was spectacular - rolling hills, green, farmland as far as you can see. It was very peaceful and serene. The suite was beautiful and very clean. We only stayed one night, but wished we could stay more. If we are ever back in the area, we will definitely stay at Holmes with a View again.

My friend and I decided we wanted to "celebrate" our friendship of 42 years by doing something special. Both of us enjoy visiting Amish Country, and we decided to stay two nights, and picked Holmes With a View because I have always wanted to stay in the round houses! We had such a great time! Everything about our stay was really wonderful, relaxing, pleasant, quiet, and we were close to everything we wanted to do! I can't wait until the next time I can get down there with friends and family for a very relaxing time! Thank you for having us!

We stayed here for our anniversary and everything about it was outstanding. It was exceptionally clean, nicely decorated and the view was spectacular. We have been recommending it to everybody we know!!

Very unique circular design - quite and peaceful. Loved the horses down below and serene Amish country hillside. Great place to escape and rediscover whatever it is you have been missing

This is our 3rd time at Holmes with a View, and we can't wait to go back! The view is awesome! It's truly a peaceful get-a-way for us. We've been spending our anniversaries there, and wish we could increase the frequency of our visits and the length of our stay. We enjoy the view so much that we actually hate to leave for our meals. This last time we enjoyed fixing our meals in the cabin. Thanks for a wonderful experience! Sonny & Elaine

I have made multiple visits here with my husband and a friend and am never disappointed. Yes, it is pricey, but the "rooms" are spacious and impeccable. Miriam and Paul are fantastic!

I have tried different places in the Amish area, and I have to say this is a favorite. I wish I had more time there. We had plenty of room with our grown children and the owners thought of everything. I would highly recommend it and encourage you to allow time to enjoy a little pasture peace.

We recently spent 2 nights at Holmes With a View. What a wonderful getaway. Very clean, very peaceful. We will definitely be back!

My husband & I, and my sister & her husband, stayed in the 2-bedroom Suite #3 for 2 nights. We wish we could have stayed longer! The suite was spacious, very clean, and had everything we needed. The homemade cinnamon rolls and bread were delicious. We just loved all the windows, and the wrap-around deck with an awesome view! It was so peaceful and relaxing. The location is great, close to everything, but up on the hill where it is quiet and beautiful. We didn’t get the opportunity to meet Paul, but Miriam was so friendly, and check-in/out, was fast and easy. I highly recommend Holmes with a View, and hope to come back again!

Wow!! What a wonderful place to sit and reflect on your life. This place was spectacular, very clean and the view was amazing. Will definitely be back to visit

This is the best of both worlds. The hospitality of a b & b and more privacy than a hotel. We have stayed at several places in Holmes county and this is by far the best. Spacious accomodations, spotless, incredible views, yummy treats and complete privacy. We absolutely can't wait to come back and have passed out the brochures to family and friends.

We recently stayed at Homes with a View for a weekend and were absolutely blown away by the tremendous view of the peaceful Amish countryside. In addition, the circular design of the suite and tasteful decorating enhanced our appreciation of the surroundings. Miriam was very helpful in resolving a small issue that we had with the DVD player. We would love to come back again and get away from the hustle and bustle of the "real world."

My wife and I decided to spend a night away for her birthday. Although we only spent one night, we highly enjoyed the time. I was pouring as we pulled up and we were soaked. Very relaxful, hope to stay longer on our next stop.

this was our second time staying at Holmes with a view. Needless to say we are very happy. The owners are very pleasant, the rooms are amazing. It is well worth the trip.

Once a year the 5 of us come and shop and stay in Holmes County. We enjoy everything, the shopping, the restaurants and the peaceful setting at the Holmes with a View has to offer. We have stayed other places over the years, but this is the best place for the 5 of us, it has everything and more than we need. We love it and hope to be back next year.

This was a delightful, comfortable, breathtaking, place to stay. The views of the valley with the cows in the pasture was so relaxing, the Amish families on their way to church Sunday morning, The fun shops in the area, Three generations (grandma, daughters, granddaughters) having silly laughing fun together. Perfect weather. How could you beat that for a wonderful time in a delightful place that is as nice as the brochure shows! Thanks for a great time!

Two night stay to celebrate my mother's 80th birthday. We loved this stay! It was clean, away from the center of the town's congestion, yet close enough to get to it all quickly when for shopping and exploring. We would love to visit again. It is unique, nestled in the hills among farmland. The view was beautiful and relaxing. The stress just melted away , mom really enjoyed the peaceful rest.

These unique homes offer quality, and a peaceful stay at a fair price. We went in April, and were fortunate to see the Amish planting their fields with horse drawn plows, right below our unit. Kept my husbands attention, since as a boy he was a farmer. This was our second stay, and we will go back to Holmes with a View.

Our first stay at Holmes with a View was such an unexpected delight and leaves us longing to go back! It certainly felt like a home away from home, minus the chaos and hectic pace of our "real" life. The suite was absolutely immaculate and so welcoming with the fresh bread and cinnamon rolls from the nearby market... and even a Keurig coffee maker that was such a treat! Our stay there was much too short, but we have memories for a lifetime.

Consistently the cleanest and most relaxing place to stay. Outstanding!

Absolutely a wonderful place to stay! Very clean, and lots of extras. This was our first time in the area. We had reservations to stay in a cabin for Friday and Saturday night, then we decided to make it a longer weekend and add Thursday night. The cabin was already booked so we found Holmes with a view to stay at on Thursday. We really wished we would have found this B&B before the cabin!! We will definately be back for another visit to the area and we will be staying at Holmes with a view.

We go to the Holmes county area 2-3 times a year, we had been staying the berlin at one of the hotels, and decided that we would try holmes with a view, thought it would be something different, needless to say when we go back we WILL BE STAYING HERE!!!! it is great, quite, paul & miriam are great, excellent place to stay!!!!! A+++++

This was our first visit. We celebrated our anniversary there with friends and had a wonderful time. We enjoyed the view of the snow. Amish country makes a great get-away from our daily lives. The accomodations were great and clean. We will certainly return for another visit soon I hope! Thanks for a great time!

We always enjoy our stay, and we love the way in which we have access to help if we need it but are not bothered by calls, etc., while we are there. It is so relaxing and we always come away feeling refreshed and pampered.

We love Holmes with a View. This was our third time staying here. We can't wait for the next time. So relaxing. Love the cinnamon rolls. Can't understand the negative reviews.

I took my wife to HWAV view for her BD. We had suite #1. Great view of the valley. Peacefull and quiet. Close to everything in amish country. The room was perfect and the food/beverages in the room are yummy. We would highly recommend HWAV and plan to go back again.

Perfect 2-night stay in Suite 6. Needed to get away from every day stress and this was the perfect place to do so. Everything was clean and well kept. We only had a few problems, could not get the TV/dish to turn on, but the innkeeper came down to our Suite right away when we called. Also the speakers to the stereo were not hooked up and could not listen to music (good thing we brought our own stereo). One more thing...the garbage disposal did not work. Great scenery and wonderful weekend.

We always appreciate when our guests let us know about a problem during their stay. Sometimes that's the only way we find out about it. The garbage disposal was easily fixed by unclogging it first and then hitting the "reset" button. Electronics are sometimes a challenge. In this case, with the TV it was as easy as adjusting a plug. The sound system required an "expert". Thanks for taking the time to let us know!

Holmes with a View was great. Easy check in and out everything outstanding!!

Very relaxing and enjoyable stay. Beautiful views and ideal location. Stayed in #6; little smaller than anticipated but still extremely nice. Hot tub an extra perk with this suite, unfortunately it decided to quit working after one night! No big deal, though. We would definately return.

The view alone is worth your time and money. Nice surprise to find coffee and juices in the frig at arrival., not to mention the homemade bread and cinnamon rolls. Had a very relaxing and enjoyable weekend with friends where everyone was comfortable and cozy. Would love to visit again in the spring and fall!

The Innkeepers Paul & Miriam are perfect hosts. The view is gorgeous! The accomodations were very clean, comfortable, and relaxing. The perfect getaway for a special occasion. Highly recommended!

My husband & I stayed for 2 nights over New Years for a completely relaxing visit. This was our second visit & we enjoyed it even more than the first! We stayed in Suite #2 which was very recently renovated & is very nice. We loved all the extra touches as well as the well-stocked fridge. My only suggestion would be a dresser or wardrobe for clothing--everything else was excellent!

This was our third visit to Holmes with a View. Would recommend this B&B to anyone wishing to stay more than one night---only because one night is not long enough. Absolutely amazing views and outstanding hospitality from Paul & Miriam.

My daughter, son-in-law, husband and myself stayed here several days over Thanksgiving. It was wonderful to escape the stress of everyday life and spend the holiday relaxing and unwinding. We stayed in suite 4, and were very happy with our choice. Unit was immaculate, and Miriam was a wonderful host who kept us supplied with cinnamon rolls. Suite was very well thought out, comfortable, and private. You won't go wrong staying here.

We were very impressed with the decor, amenities and condition of our suite. The views were spectacular and the atmosphere was extremely relaxing. We would unreservedly recommend this fine inn to anyone interested in scenic and historic Holmes County.

We had a wonderful stay. Immaculate room with fridge, hot tub and satellite TV. Great view of the rolling hills. Close proximity to all the shopping, etc. you are looking for in Ohio Amish country. The perfect place to do not much of anything for a couple days. We will be back. The breakfast goods and treats were great too. For those negative reviewers out there - get a grip. It's a little country cottage not the Four Seasons. Don't change a thing Mr. and Mrs. Grossi.

We try to visit Holmes with a View twice a year. The suites sit on a hill over looking miles and miles of Amish farmland. The rooms are meticulous, comfortable, and feel like home. The inn keepers are gracious and will do whatever they can to make your stay comfortable. We enjoy going into the small towns and shopping and eating a wonderful Amish cooked meal, but we also enjoy returning to the serenity of our room to enjoy a peaceful evening in the country. We recommend Holmes with a View to all our friends and family.

We stayed at Holmes with a View for our 3rd anniversary and we absolutely enjoyed our time there. The view was beautiful, and it was a very relaxing and enjoyable setting.

My boyfirend Ken and I decided we wanted a beautiful quiet & relaxing weekend away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life and that is exactly what we got from staying at Holmes with a View!! Innkeeper Miriam greeted us so warmly on our arrival - giving us the scoop on her favorite restuarants. Innkeeper Paul had seen that we could not park right next to our unit because another guest had us blocked off from our drive and he quickly rectified that problem with in minutes. We had stayed in unit #5 and it was a very cozy retreat that enabed us to snuggle under the covers while watching tv til the early afternoon. What was so nice was when you opened the blinds it was to view a beautiful sprawling countryside. Sunday morning we woke to horses grazing in the adjoining pasture right out side our unit. The Jacuzzi outside was a great addition- although a short brief but briskful cold walk out to it - we wished it had a entrance directly from inside the unit. The goodies that were left for us in the refrigerator was a welcomed surprise ! Just wished that fridge was bigger. We had brought a few things with us and found it hard to get everything in it. The homemade bread and cinnamon rolls were yummy! Upon checking out Miriam was so kind to show us Unit #1 / 2 and 6. The stay at Holmes with a view was so refreshing we are planning a visit back to stay in Unit 1 or 2 in June of 2011!!

If you are looking for a great place to stay, look no further. We stayed in the honeymoon suite #6. This was such a relaxing stay, after last minute reservations of calling all the others. The comfort & cleanliness of this suite was amazing, including the jacuzzi, fireplace and wonderful homemade goods for breakfast. Such a great view of the rolling hills of Amish Country. The hospitality of the hosts, Paul & Miriam, were outstanding. Such great memories to make a remarkable stay. Thanks! Jason & Mindy Simons--Springfield, OH

We stayed at Holmes with a View in October. It was our 3rd time staying there. We had a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Miriam and Paul are always very friendly and willing to help if you need anything during your stay. The suite is always very clean. We love the little extras that are included (bread, popcorn, hot chocolate, cinnamon buns) to name a few and are much appreciated. The view from the suite is amazing! There are restaurants and shopping near by so you don't have to travel very far. I would definitely recommend staying at Holmes with a View!

What a place! This was our first experience with Holmes with a View, but it certainly will not be our last! We stayed in "Suite 6". From the moment we arrived, we knew it was a special place. The view was spectacular, the room was well appointed, looked like a page out of a magazine, and was spotless. The fridge, although very small, was well stocked with drinks and a few surprises, and the bread and cinnamon rolls were "to die for". The Grossi's are the ultimate hosts, and have a first class property. We asked for a peek at the other suites, and they are ALL impeccable. We are already planning our next trip, which will be in the spring. We are hoping tp stay in Suite 1. Don't miss the chance to stay here---WELL WORTH THE TRIP!!!!

A great place. Very clean. Room 2 came with a king size bed and tub for 2 along with clean bath with a shower. Lots of room which was great for a stay of a few nights. Kitchen area was wonderful with dishwasher and refrigerators along with toaster, stove and microwave. The view was wonderful from the deck which surrounded our room. Very quiet and very peaceful. Close to all Holmes county offers with a short drive.

What a perfect place perfectly sited! Tucked into a hillside with a gorgeous view over a rolling farm valley. Our suite was gorgeously furnished and the cinnamon rolls were a special treat, as were the horses nuzzling the fence just beyond our deck. Two couples were extremely comfortable in a spacious two-bedroom suite. Would love to go back.

My husband and I have stayed in many B&Bs in Ohio, and this is our favorite. It is private and peaceful with beautiful views of the countryside. The rooms are spacious, clean, and bright. It is the place to go for a one or two night getaway that seems much longer.

Enjoyed staying in Unit #2. The view was incredible as the leaves were changing. We sat on the ceck in the evening and enjoyed the sound of the horses & buggies in the distance. The next morning we had our coffee on the deck as the sun came up. The clip-clop of the horses and the early morning birds were a wonderful way to start the day. We will return :)

My wife and I stayed overnight for our 11th Anniersary. This will be our 5th B&B that we have stayed at over the years. The cleaniness was amazing along with the view of the countryside. We enjoyed the homemade breakfast items and the other items that were available for us :) There were only acouple of complaints that we had... 1) There was a light left on in the bedroom closet that was locked and shown through the door frame. Unfortuanlly we didn't have any cell phone reception and it was later in the evening, so we didn't think it was a good idea to go back up to the house and tell the inn keepers...we would have to drive there... Having a phone in the room what of been helpful. 2) There were clumps of coffee in our sugar bowl... 3) The bed was way to hard for us...but maybe not for others.. They were little things, but we felt that the owners should know. Overall it was a very nice place and I would still recommend it !!

We stayed at Holmes With A View for 4 nights and we still didn't want to leave. The view is just spectacular! The suite was very clean and the goodies were very much appreciated. From the wide array of coffees, teas, hot chocolate, fresh bakery, yogurts and homemade jam that were available to us. The early morning walks in the country made our trip even more enjoyable. What else can I say, "Simply The Best"! We will be visiting again!

We stayed 3 nights. It was very relaxing and private. Would go back again! We enjoyed the local bake goods for breakfast.

This was a wonderful experience for us! Everything was just right! Beautiful surroundings inside and out. Our only regret was we only had reserved one night! You must stay for at least two so you have time to really enjoy it! Every detail was taken care of for you. We stayed in #4.

The morning sunrise view was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfect! We enjoyed the jacuzzi with candlelight and a glass of wine, lazy mornings with coffee and the wonderful fresh baked goods. Definately a "do-over".

My husband and I stayed for a long weekend to celebrate our anniversary. What a wonderful relaxing atmosphere!! Our suite was immaculate and well stocked with anything and everything we could possibly need. We hope to be able to come back soon! Thank you Paul and Miriam for your hospitality!

The place was beautiful, service excellent and they thought of everything!

Wonderful place, Very clean, very pretty. Excellant place to sit back relax and enjoy the beautiful countryside. We will definately go back.

We were bound and determined to find the Polish Pottery Niche just because it sounded fun. It was closed but we found Holmes With a View by accident. Paul invited us in and we registered for a stay. We saw the quilt that Miriam was finishing and knew the Bed and Breakfast would be fantastic! We loved the rooms, the jacuzzi, the round design, the jam and bread, watching movies, the sunrise, the cows and horses. It was the very best mother/daughter getaway before college starts trip. We had a fantastic time!!

If you like peace and quiet and a clean, spacious home in beautiful surroundings, this is the place for you. It is better value than any other B&B I have ever been in. The owners have put a lot of thoughtfulness and generosity into every detail of the place and have really good taste in the way they have furnished it (just the idea of round hillside homes should point to their sense of beauty). The breakfast items (yogurt, juices, bread, jams, cinnamon rolls, teas, coffee, even a Brita water filter) are all waiting for you in the fridge. The balcony outside and the fabulous view even from the living area made us want to just stay here all day and not go anywhere else. For anyone who cares, I also want to say that I was impressed that the place is heated by geothermal and radiant heat (as well as a fireplace) so they are ahead of the curve as far as energy use goes. I have only two suggestions: one is to replace the much scratched Teflon coated skillet so that guests can safely make themselves hot breakfast. The second is probably impossible to do. Though the place is wonderful in terms of wheelchair accessibility, it was impossible for my mother to get from the wheelchair to the bed, which is a very comfortable King size bed, but is extremely high, so that it was impossible for her to "climb" up to the bed (or for us to hoist her up to it) and she ended up spending the night on the sofa. If one of the 2BR suites could be identified specifically as the wheelchair accessible ones and it had a lower bed, this place would be completely perfect for our family. Even having said that, there's no question that we will be coming back again and again.

Your kind comments are appreciated. The scratched teflon coated skillet has now been replaced with new ones. Thank you so much for bringing that to our attention. The issue with the bed is not as easy to take care of. We've considered putting in a step stool, but that would not necessarily resolve the issue for our handicapped or senior guests. We'll have to give it more thought and see what we can come up with.

My husband and I are world travelers and have lived abroad as well. Holmes with a View is a wonderful, peaceful and beautiful respite from the hectic of everyday life. The room/property was spotless, the setting serene, the little amenities (stocked refrigerator, awesome 1 cup coffee maker, etc) thoughtful. I have raved about it to my family and friends. Our 2 day celebration here for our anniversary was so memorable in large part thanks to the wonderful setting!!

First the owners Miriam & Paul our the most pleasant people we have met, go out of their way to make you feel at home, arriving to be greeted, in the rooms when you enter you fine juice, homemade bread, rolls, jellies, I can't think of another place we have been that offers so much. The fireplace, the flatscreen tv, the comfortable beds, the relaxing hot tub, the round porch to sit on, the window view of the whole area is just breath taking, we tell our friends & family its are other home!

The peaceful setting and beautiful, romantic, clean and up to date accomodations exceeded our expectations. We especially loved that we could enjoy our entire time there without leaving the suite by cooking our own anniversary dinner together like we did when we were dating! Would love to go back during the winter to compare the view!

Our stay was the most relaxing vacation we have ever had. We truly enjoyed our trip and found ourselves returning from visiting Amish Country early just so we could sit on the balcony and take in the beautiful view and the quite calm of the countryside. We have told all our family and friends that this is a must for them to try.

Awesome cottage with great view and lots of privacy. We didi not want to leave the hmey feel of this great get-away. We will be telling all our friends about this off the hustle and bustle get away.

Simply beautiful...the view was amazing, so peaceful! Very clean. We'll definitely visit again!

It is sometimes hard to describe a feeling because sometimes words aren't enough. To just sit and enjoy the valley..the farm animals, the sky, watch the buggies cloppity clop past and the neighbour Amish boy manage the horses and cows...well, it's just so refreshing. The valley has to be prettiest in the whole county and yet, is close by to area farm stores like Herschbergers, Miller's Bakery and Guggisberg Cheese and restaurant Chalet in the Valley (the best cheese fondue) . Stepping inside, so spotlessly clean and well constructed. Everything you needed was there and enjoyed making a few suppers there. We enjoyed very comfortable sleep in the beds and very nice bathroom conveniences. Paul and Miriam Grossi and very gracious hosts concerned everything is perfect, which it was, and very easy to talk with and learn about the area. This is our 5th time to return to this area and won't be our last but we now know where Holme is.....with a View. Kevin, Chris, Dale and Jean from Ontario.

We had a 2BR suite and it was very nice. The view was pretty and peaceful, the suite was equipped with lots of nice extra touches (magazines, Keurig coffee maker (!), Bath & Body Works bathroom items, etc.), and the food items/drinks were a nice touch. We had a great stay and will definitely stay there again.

My husband and I booked a suite for our anniversary. It was not our first visit to the Ohio Amish area, but it was our first stay at Holmes with a View. We were quite pleased with all the Inn had to offer! Very quiet and peaceful surroundings and an altogether enjoyable experience! If there were any negatives at all, it was in the lack of directions to get to the place. It is in the country and therefore a few landmark directions would help (besides anything sent on mapquest). The television, although a new led screen, was a bit difficult to view as it was smaller and the angle was bad. But these things pale in comparison to the atmosphere and charm of the hosts and the place itself! So yes....go and be refreshed! Debbie Codori

This was my and my mother's second time to stay at Holmes with a View. We stayed at the smaller room than the last time but our experience was still the same. The innkeepers are really nice and friendly. They made our stay more homey. 2-bedroom unit seems to be more luxurious than 1-bedroom unit based on our experiences. Amenities and breakfast are my favorite part of the stay but the best thing is the view. You cannot imagine you can get that kind of magnificent view in the morning in OH. I would recommend people that they should stay there a couple of nights and do nothing but reading, lounging, or enjoy the quietness with your family, friends, or lover.

We were overwhelmed the moment we walked in, better than any resort we have vacationed in. The atmosphere and peace, the view, the countryside, comfort, everything we could need or hope for was there for our convenience to make our stay a pleasure. We enjoyed ourselves to the max! They thought of it all!

My wife and I stayed two nights on 6/9 and 6/10/2010. It rained our first night but the view was still spectacular through the cloudy skies. I contacted Miriam before the visit and asked if she could arrange for cut flowers in the room. She was very accommodating and arranged with a flower shop to provide a beautiful bouquet. We enjoyed are visit so much that we immediately made reservations for October. Thank you for your great location and service.

Our 3 night stay at HWAV was absolutely rejuvenating. We are somewhat picky about our accommodations but our Suite was immaculate and tastefully decorated. Paul and Miriam Grossi stock the kitchen with homemade breads, cinammon rolls, yogurts, etc etc. Sitting on the deck, we were amazed at the beauty of the pastures with the cows and horses. Listening to the birds and simply the stillness was such a treat! We hope to return again soon. If you are looking for a beautiful suite with all the amenities plus some homemade breakfast foods, HWAV won't disappoint!

Every year my husband and I visit Holmes with a View to unwind and get a fresh perspective on life. The place is immaculate, the decor is inviting and simple and has a beautiful view of the rolling hills and an Amish farm next door. There are many places to eat nearby and you're provided some baked goods from local Amish bakeries that are delicious! I love the coziness of the place and the serenity I feel the moment I get there. When I walk in I feel as if there's no other place in the world - I've never felt that with any other place I've stayed. With Miriam, Innkeeper, you feel like you're talking to a family member.

My husband and I just happened to see Holmes with a view as we were touring in the area and were lucky enough to book a room for the nite. The units are very well done with a kitchen, fireplace, interior jetted tub and nice deck. You can tell the care taken by the owners in the maintenance - it looked brand new although I think the buildings are about 10 years old. Everything in the units was high quality and they thought about the little things that make a stay special. A continental breakfast is supplied in each of the rooms. Although it was more than generous, I did somewhat miss the opportunity to go to breakfast with other guests - totally a personal preference thing. The view was wonderful and serene and the photos on the website do not do it justice in my opinion. The only thing that was a problem was the dog at the neighboring farm - bark, bark, bark, bark! I'm not sure what the owners can do about that but if it is an ongoing problem, I think I would suggest a talk with the neighbors. From a unit perspective, if we had been staying longer, I would have appreciated a closet or more space for clothing. This was not an issue for a shorter stay. I would recommend this place and would go back myself.

[Resource Id: InnkeeperResponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for your kind comments. In an effort to remain good neighbors, we have attempted to resolve the issue of barking dogs in a positive fashion and hope that this will no longer be a negative factor should you return for a second visit.

Even though a strom came thru and we were w/ out power for a few hours we still had water and were able to check in. Then tour the town, by the time we came back the power was on, and we were able to relax. Loved the tub the jets on my toes felt refreshing. We'll be back again.

We stayed with my sister and her husband and we were all very happy with our stay. The rooms were wonderful with everything we could want and the location and views could not have been better.

First visit and was very impressed with cleanliness and the little extras in the refrigerator, and homemade bread/rolls. Very relaxing and great view.

Our stay was wonderful. The Grossi's have made staying here a very personal experience. The accomodations are both modern and cozy. My husband wants to live here year round!!! The scenery is a whole story in itself, we'll be spreading the word.

My sister and I stayed for three nights the beginning of May 2010 and had a wonderful experience. The two bedroom/two bath suite was beautiful, everything we needed was available, the breakfast items were out of this world as well as the view from our porch. We highly recommend Holmes with a View as part of your visit to Holmes county Ohio.

The location, view and B&B were wonderful.
