We are Tom and Kelly Esselburn and we are happy to host you at our beautiful property. Tom accidentally stumbled across this lovely home and we bought it as a place we could retire to but not too far away from "home." We wanted someplace where we could gather with our growing family of five kids and began families of their own, and it's a good thing , because even our large farmhouse can't always accommodate everyone for those special family gatherings. We just knew we needed to share it with others too because we loved it here and were hoping others would as well.
In 2015 we launched Whitetail Ridge Lodge followed by The Barn at Whitetail in 2017. We are situated between Mohican State Park with all the water activities- canoeing, tubing, hiking, biking and horse back riding in the Loudonville area AND the shopping, crafts, local wineries, food and farmers markets of Amish country in the Millersburg and Berlin areas!
We feel we have the best Holmes County has to offer because at the end of your busy day you can return to gather in this comfortable luxury to just relax on the back patio in front of the outdoor fireplace and enjoy your time with family, friends or just a quiet couples retreat.
We have met so many wonderful people over the years and love to meet with our guests if arrival time permits. The most common theme of the comments we receive is how clean our place is. We always love this because we always appreciate a clean relaxing place when we travel. We try to offer what is best for our visitors, insuring a safe and healthy place for families or friends who just want to gather and enjoy each other! Many people have returned to visit and enjoy this beautiful place and area!
