Spring . . . summer . . . fall . . . winter . . . each season has its own special pleasures at Murphin Ridge Inn.

Spring on Murphin Ridge breathes new life into the wintered soul. Columbine and trillium dot the path of the Three Falls trail from late March to early May. Sit behind the bird blind and watch the return of the migratory songbirds. Spring greens from the garden make appearances in salads for Easter dinner and Mother’s Day weekend.

Enjoy the outdoors during a summer visit to Murphin Ridge Inn. Float in the pool, while gazing at the fields of wheat. You might even catch a red-tail hawk dancing in the sky or see a family of whitetail deer grazing in the early morning hours. If you get an itch for recreation, play a game of tennis or croquet.

Iced cold lemonade and sun tea are always on hand so find a shady spot and just relax. Fresh fruits and vegetables from the Inn garden and other local farms grace the dinner plates. Enjoy an old-fashioned Fourth of July on the Ridge or treat dad to a relaxing Father’s Day.

Fall just might be the most picturesque season in Adam’s County and the surrounding area. The Inn’s Dining House, Guest House and Woodland Cabins are nestled in groves of sugar maples and oaks, which give rise to breath-taking fall foliage. As the temperatures begin a steady decline it is a perfect time to hike the trails and return to the fire pit for stargazing and ghost stories.

Fall also brings festival season with the Murphin Ridge Inn Art Fair, the Lewis Mountain Olde Thyme Herb Festival and the annual Amish School consignment auction. Thanksgiving brings a gracious and glorious meal with all the pleasures of home without the trouble of cooking and cleaning. Relax and enjoy your family!

Winter at the Inn is calm and peaceful. Enjoy a silent walk through freshly fallen snow. Warm your feet by the fireplace and sip slowly from a mug of hot cider or homemade hot chocolate. Holiday parties are extra special, so make your reservations now. Bring in the New Year at the Inn, with the Chef’s exquisite seven-course meal.

The evening always has a quiet charm that makes for a romantic and pleasurable way to begin a new year. Murphin Ridge Inn also features a full winter of special weekends and Chef’s Table events. Check out our calendar on the Restaurant page or give us a call!
