Cedar Falls, Ohio was one of the prettiest places we visited. This was another quick stop as we raced against time to get back to the Cape. Sometimes, having a timeline is a bummer! We were so close to gorges, waterfalls, caves, and forests…it was a shame to leave without seeing what this lovely part of the US is all about.
OK, I am done sulking now. Let me show you how pretty it was at The Inn at Cedar Falls…
View From the Balcony
The Restaurant and Tavern at the Inn is located in two of the properties 1840’s log cabins…I love log cabins. Does anyone not love log cabins?
The Restaurant and Tavern
And this little bar reminded me a bit of The Icehouse Cafe in Evergreen, Colorado. There was just about the same amount of space behind it and barstools in front of it.
Little Bar, Big on Character
We had a lovely dinner there (check out the menu – it is surprisingly gourmet for being located in what feels like the middle of the woods).
Then, time enough for some shut-eye in our cozy room, another yummy meal (French toast, homemade granola and fruit, fresh coffee…) in the cabins, and we were off.

Something about the phone booth just outside of the reception area left me feeling nostalgic. Wow, how times have changed. Guess it comes with age…the longing for life as one once knew it. I know, I know, I am only thirty-seven…but haven’t things changed so much, in such a small amount of time? Or is it just me being a sentimental fool?
Reminder of Simpler Times
This was to be our last night on the road for a while. I have finished our “Road Trip 2010” chronicles just in time to embark on our next journey. We are finishing up a month off between sits here in Provincetown, MA. It has been a great time…I will post more about that soon. We head South for TN on Monday. Not even sure what route we are taking yet, which is all part of the fun…
On the Road Again
I am a “daughter of ohio” … you know, like “daughter’s of the revolution”, which I qualify for as well, and a native ohioan and I can attest to the beauty of many parts of the state. All anyone every thinks of is the very flat center of the state, but much of the state has beautiful rolling hills. Too bad so many of the contestants on the Jerry Springer show hail from Ohio !!!!!! What’s up with that?!!!! You’d think everyone from Ohio is toothless and uneducated !
Glad you enjoyed your visit there.
Good luck with your next sit in Tennessee….seems like you’ll be there until spring and then off to the next destination ! Can’t wait to hear about Tenn.
I had no idea so many Springer guests were from the Ohio area, Catherine! We loved the drive through Hocking Hills – I would definitely go back. Would love to camp that area as there are natural wonders around every corner, it seems.
We arrived in TN last night and will be on Signal Mountain in a couple of hours…let the TN adventure begin!
