“My parents, my 3 children, my husband and I stayed at Cave Hill over Thanksgiving. What a beautiful home and surrounding area. We had an amazing time. Everything we needed to prepare our Thanksgiving feast was in the house. The Carr family had thoughtfully prepared a table with maps and information on lots of local attractions. We will absolutely stay there again. - My mom can't wait to stay there again.”  – Guests from North Carolina, Thanksgiving 2009.

 

“What a great getaway!” – Girls Craft Weekend; five ladies from Cincinnati.

 

“Loved the house!  Well stocked kitchen, we even made crème brule!  We walked the trail twice, great view.  Saw some bluebirds.“  -- Group of ladies from Cincinnati going to the Amish Birding Seminar.

 

“Had a wonderful Spring weekend – so many wonderful surprises – field of daffodils, owls in the silent night.  Thank you – we hope to be back again.”  – A family from Cleveland, Ohio.

 

“What more could we ask for – lovely home away from home.  Well-stocked kitchen, beautiful interior and furnishings and enough windows to bring the outside in.  Privacy, wooded location; everything we have longed to find.  Saturday found us at Millers [Miller’s bakery in the Amish community].  Ah – apple fritters right from the oven and still warm – melt in your mouth!  Returned for a walk to the field to enjoy the view and explore.  Wondering who built the log barn and how long ago did they settle here.  Saw so many butterflies and a box turtle.  Sunday morning awoke early to nature’s alarm clock . . . “Gobble, gobble, gobble”.  Looked out the window and saw a “Tom” turkey calling for a mate while he fanned his tail.  Joining in his quest were three does grazing right in front of the window.  Renewed & refreshed.  Sadly, we prepare to depart – longing to return.”  -- A couple from Ashland, KY.

 

“We enjoyed the beautiful cabin very much.  Nice amenities & beautiful surroundings.  Hiked here & visited the Amish businesses.  Plan to come back & stay here again.”  Two couples from Cincinnati and Northern KY.

 

“What a beautiful place!  It was a pleasure staying here.  Hope to come back one day.”  A couple from Cincinnati and parents from South Africa.

 

“We had a great weekend here.  The walks through the trails were so peaceful and relaxing.”  A family from Pickerington, Ohio.

“We saw deer while sitting on the deck.  The soda fountain at Blake’s [Pharmacy in West Union] was a blast from the past.  We spent the evening looking at old pictures and catching up.  What an awesome place – can’t wait to share pictures with our friends!”  A family from Columbus, Ohio.

 

“Refreshed and renewed.  This was the summer of butterflies – at least 7 different varieties.  Never left the lodge except for walks.  Saw 2 turkeys, 1 fawn.  Read “Atlas Shrugged” & “5,000 Year Leap”.  Peace and quiet and renewed.”  A couple from Ashland, KY.

 

“Thank you.  A very unique experience for 7 from California.  We came to visit family & friends and left with wonderful memories of the beauty of Ohio.  Everything we needed was here or nearby . . . a laundry area would have made it exceed Excellent!”  A family from Lompoc, California.

 

“Six sisters on our yearly weekend vacation.  This is the most beautiful house, unique and gorgeous settings, we’ve ever stayed.  Had a wonderful time walking in the woods, sitting on the deck, looking at the stars and just relaxing.  Hope to come back one day to this peaceful retreat, to see more deer, butterflies and turkeys.”

 

 “We had a great time at the lodge.  The seclusion, quiet location, scenery and lack of traffic were great.  We hiked on the trail each day down to the bottom of the fields and around the ponds.  That is really a nice property - has a little of everything.  Looks like you are going to have a nice cabin when you are finished with the renovation too.

We saw a lot of wildlife from the cabin.  There were too many squirrels to count - both gray and fox.  We saw turkeys on Friday morning and deer were all around the cabin, just about any time of day.  We saw two six point bucks Thursday morning that were fighting a little, but it looked like more of a practice round than the real thing.”  A couple from Franklin, Ohio.

 

“We thoroughly enjoyed being in your vacation home and came back rejuvenated.    The woods were as beautiful as the house, autumn is a special time, for sure.    We look forward to returning in the not too distant future.”  A couple from Cincinnati.

 

“For the past two years we have celebrated Christmas together in this beautiful cabin.  We spent our “time” “Enjoying the time” together . . . the boys went caving, a trip to Millers for some fresh baked Amish goods, dinner at the diner, crafts with the kids, and watching every one play with their Christmas gifts.  We anticipate this time together every year and once again had an awesome and memorable time.  Thank you for sharing this place with us.”   

 

“Oh by the way when I went on my walk through I meant to tell you how GORGEOUS the house is.  It’s amazing.  Job well done Mr. Carr”

 

“I know what peace is; it’s like being in the cupola”  7 year old boy, overhearing the adults saying kids “have never known peace” since 9/11.
