Book it here and it costs you less.

A four-room inn on nine wooded acres, run by the two of us. Same rooms you'd find on the big sites, without the service fee stacked on top.

Live rates

October 2026

Rates change with the season and the day of the week. October is leaf season here, so it's the dearest month we have — and the one that books first.

The Ridge Room

Choose a check-in date on the calendar.

Pick two dates and we'll do the arithmetic.

Two-night minimum on Fridays and Saturdays, and on the whole of October. We hold rooms for twenty-four hours without a card while you sort out the drive.

Why we ask you to book direct

From the innkeepers

The listing sites are how most people find us, and we're not ungrateful for it. But they take a cut from us and add a service fee onto you, and between the two of those it's a meaningful share of a night's rate going to a company that has never made a bed here.

So the deal is simple. Book on this page and we don't pay a commission, you don't pay a service fee, and the difference sits somewhere between the two of us instead. It pays for the good coffee and the new roof on the cabin.

If you'd rather book through a platform, that's genuinely fine — we'll be just as glad to see you. But the calculator above shows what it costs, and we thought you should be able to see it.

    Old Man's Cave, and the gorge trail down to Cedar Falls if you've got the legs for it.

  • Waterfall

    Ash Cave, which is flat the whole way and the one to do with small children or bad knees.

    14 min
  • Supper

    Millstone BBQ in Logan. Get there before seven on a Saturday or don't bother.

    18 min

    Kroger in Logan. There's nothing closer, so stop on the way in rather than on the way out.

    19 min
  • Dark sky

    John Glenn Astronomy Park. Free, open most clear nights, and genuinely worth setting an alarm for.
