Within a mile of Holmes with a View,
You'll find a dozen things to do;
For dozens more, just travel two.
Atop one of Charm, Ohio's rolling hills sits a unique getaway, just waiting to welcome you for a cozy country overnight or extended stay.
The immaculate circular suites of Holmes with a View offer more than the standard amenities, they're akin to small apartments, complete with fireplace, living and dining areas, whirlpool tub, and a fully-equipped kitchen or kitchenette.
But what makes a stay at Holmes with a View even more fabulous is the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. Guests can stay in to gaze at patchwork fields and gentle hills dotted with Amish farmers guiding teams of majestic horses, harvesting against giant skies. Or they can go out, exploring all there is to see in the bustling burgs of Charm, Berlin or Historic Downtown Millersburg. In fact, guests needn't venture further than one mile to encounter some of the area's finest shops, owned and operated by folks born and raised in Charm. Within one mile of the hilltop homes are three renowned restaurants, several quality furniture craftsmen, a champion cheesemaker, authentic polish pottery, and one of the most impressive hardware and gift stores around.
Keim Lumber, in the heart of Charm, is an impressive world of home improvement packed with everything from exotic wood and quality tools to stand mixers and hand-crank ice cream freezers. Their in-house eatery, the Carpenter's Cafe, hosts a breakfast buffet on Saturday mornings for locals and visitors alike. Holmes with a View even offers a special two-night Keim package, complete with a Saturday-morning breakfast at the Carpenter's Cafe.
Nearby, Miller's Dry Goods stocks more than 8,000 bolts of fabric, plus patterns, notions and more. The Charm Sweet Shoppe, with its delicious baked goods, is neighbor to Kidron Sports, boasting a full line of hunting, fishing, camping and athletic equipment. Just above, Charm Harness and Boot carries the best brand-name shoes, from fashion sandals to western wear. It's just a short walk to Charm General Store and Charm Fabrics, a variety and grocery store all-in-one, conveniently located next to Grandma's Homestead, where you must try the pecan pie after your hearty homestyle feast. Or, for a unique Holmes County experience, talk to Holmes with a View innkeepers John and Fannie Mae Yoder about booking a meal in a local Amish home.
Another culinary favorite, just to the north, is Chalet in the Valley Restaurant, serving traditional Swiss and Austrian cuisine, located across from the award-winning Guggisberg Cheese factory, home of the original Baby Swiss. Down the road, the Guggisberg family offers leisurely horseback and winter sleigh rides at the Amish Country Riding Stables.
If it's quality-made furniture you're looking for, one mile is all you need to go to find Ole Mill Furniture and Ridgeview Furniture. Then, go the extra mile to visit M&M Furniture, where you can see craftsmen at work.
After traversing the area, stop at the Pottery Niche, importers of colorful, hand-painted Polish Pottery, before settling back in at Holmes with a View for a soak in the hot-tub or a movie by the fireplace, knowing that tomorrow, there will be even more for you to explore in the heart of Ohio's Amish country.
