Bed & Breakfast

209 Ames Dr, Dresden, OH

Perched commandingly on a ridge overlooking the historic village of Dresden, this magnificent 9,000-square-foot pavilion estate is entirely independent and owner-operated by innkeeper Joy. The sprawling mansion was originally built as the private custom residence of Dave Longaberger, the legendary founder of the Longaberger Basket Company. Reflecting exquisite, uncompromising local craftsmanship, the 10-room boutique inn features dramatic woodwork, a sweeping grand piano salon, and expansive terraces with a "million-dollar view" of the surrounding valley. Guests are treated to an exceptionally warm, personal welcome including evening wine and cheese socials, property tours, and a fresh, scratch-made gourmet breakfast daily.
