The Always Welcome Inn

The Always Welcome Inn

I was lucky enough to be able to go on a family retreat recently. Jenny's family organized a weekend vacation at the Always Welcome Inn.

Just west of Killbuck, Ohio, the inn is nicely secluded from the "outside world". The hills are covered with healthy forests, which in turn make homes for plenty of wildlife.

The Always Welcome Inn had plenty of accomodations for us. Spacious cabins with many rooms and beds, kitchens and grills and chairs galore... it handled our crazy bunch of kids and eccentrics quite easily.

We spent much of our time at the ponds wich are terraced at different levels of a steep hillside. Catching our fill of bass and bluegill... it was fun for everyone. In the evenings we sat around a campfire--which already had wood stocked for our use!

If you need a vacation, go ahead and let Nancy Miller (owner) know you're interested in the Always Welcome Inn. You can email her at awi@valkyrie.net. You can also see more photos of the Inn at www.fieldandlake.com.
