The Restaurant at the Inn at Cedar Falls
The Inn at Cedar Falls boasts conference room capabilities, spa, and plenty of spaces to
enjoy the company of those around you – and other guests too! Matt and I had the opportunity to sit down with a number of people while waiting for dinner. The fireplace pictured below was a central gathering place and really allowed for conversation. But, BUT,
the crown of visiting the Inn itself was the food!
Fireside at the Inn at Cedar Falls before Dinner
The night we had dinner at the Inn at Cedar Falls, the head chef was not cooking! He had the day off and was sitting at the table next to us leading a wine tasting dinner that a
number of couples had signed up for. It looked very interesting and was a great way, again, to meet other guests. The sous-chef prepared our meals.
Now, it is Really really hard to take pictures of food at restaurants. Your limited by the lighting, and Camera flashes just drown out your food, but, below are my best shots of our
meals.
The Inn at Cedar Falls has a very good assortment of wine and beer for every taste. Meals
can be ordered as a 3 course or ala carte. Matt started his dinner off with the soup of the
day, tomato soup. I was surprised he would order tomato soup, it’s just not something I
order at a restaurant. Let me tell you, I should have. This was a very fresh tasting, creamy
soup, very delicious. For his main entree, he completely enjoyed their Lobster Ravioli. It
was creamy, delicious and full of flavor.
Lobster Ravioli enjoyed by my husband
I began dinner with their house salad of mixed greens, slivered onion, tomato, cucumber, parmesan & house-made vinaigrette. So fresh! For my main entree, I practically devoured the Grilled Filet Mignon w/Pink Demi, Caramelized Shallots, Pink Peppercorn Demi &
asparagus and buttermilk mashed potatoes. It was so tender, moist, and prepared perfectly
to my taste. My mouth is watering right now as I recall how delicious it was.
Filet enjoyed by ME
We couldn’t resist dessert, although we were quite full already! I thoroughly enjoyed the
Mixed Berry Cobbler with Vanilla Ice Cream. I just love blackberries and raspberries so this
was a treat. It was the most exceptional berry cobbler I’ve tasted. Matt ordered the
Decadent Chocolate Dessert, made without flour, this dessert is like a rich, moist fudge
cake. A chocolate lover’s dream come true! All desserts are made from scratch on daily.
Although the restaurant is in an 1800′s restored cabin, the food is that of the finest
restaurants available. Certainly, the restaurant at the Inn at Cedar Falls is fine dining at its
best in Hocking Hills and central Ohio. The restaurant is open by reservations only every
evening.
Make the holidays even more special by treating your loved ones to dinner at The Inn at
Cedar Falls. Upcoming dinner events include: New Years Eve Celebration Dinner –
$49/Person, Valentine’s Day Dinner – $49/Person, Father’s Day BBQ – $18/adults.
$12/Children under 10, Mother’s Day Brunch – $21/Adults, $12/Children under 10, and
Easter Brunch – $21/Adults, $12/Children under 10.
The Next Morning
OK, you might find SOME mommy blogs talk about how wonderful and enchanting a night
at the Inn at Cedar Falls was enjoyed. But I won’t. I won’t tell you what I wore, I won’t tell
you what games we played, or how the bathroom got heated up. You know me, its not in my vocabulary. But I can talk about Breakfast. Fresh Fruit Bar, Quiche, hearty oatmeal, juices, coffee, tea. All good. It was nice to enjoy a morning start surrounded by tables of people that we saw/met the night before- with no embarrassing looks due to noise
complaints- again, the cottages are hundreds of feet apart.

Enjoying the morning together at the Inn at Cedar Falls
I think we had the absolute best November day that Ohio ever had. The skies were blue, and the sun was warm. My husband and I toured the grounds of the Inn, found a roof top garden, and took some photos. It was fun! Again, with no cell phone coverage, there was nothing else to focus on or worry about.

Why Hocking Hills for a Getaway?
Hocking Hills state park is the most visited state park in Ohio. Old Man’s Cave, Ash Cave,
Cedar Falls, and a number of tourist attractions dot the landscape. Although you could take longer, we spent one morning exploring what seemed to be the best parts of both caves
and falls. Simply, we need to bring the kids back there. Although a romantic spot for two, our kids would love the outdoor attractions as a Hocking Hills family vacation. There are
several popular caves, waterfalls, rock climbing, many trails to explore, and even a couple
zip lines (Hocking Hills Canopy Tour is recommended). This is our kind of getaway. You’ll
also find golf, horseback riding, canoeing, and guided tours available. Of course, for all your
therapeutic treatments, enjoy The Spa at Cedar Falls.

Plan a trip to the Inn at Cedar Falls
If you are looking for a way to escape with your spouse to a remarkably scenic location right
here in Ohio, Hocking Hills is the place. The landscape offers a beautiful backdrop no
matter what time of year. If you want all of the comforts of home without the distractions,
the Inn & Spa at Cedar Falls is the place for you. Forget about the laptop & cell phone, relax
at the spa and dine at a fine dining restaurant for a few days. Believe me, after the first
hour, you won’t miss the laptop, cell phone, radio, or tv! You’ll return home refreshed
and more connected with your spouse.
