A New Chapter at Spruce Hill: Celebrating 250 Years of Liberty and Light

At Spruce Hill Inn & Cottages, we believe that true rest is more than just a comfortable bed and a quiet view, it is the restoration of the soul.
As our nation prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, we’ve been reflecting on the principles of liberty and the "pursuit of happiness" that define our home. We believe the greatest freedom is found in a clear connection to the Word.

Starting this May, we are honored to offer a special gift to every guest: The New Testament Recovery Version.
Why this version? Just as our history is rich with depth, this study edition offers incredible footnotes and outlines that "unlock" the text in a way we’ve never seen before.

Whether you are sitting by the fireplace in a cottage or watching the sunrise from your porch, this New Testament is yours to explore, to mark up, and most importantly, to take home with you.

Come celebrate America’s milestone with us, and take a piece of eternal light home for your own journey.

The calendar might say March, but spring is already arriving here in the heart of Ohio! If you are looking for a peaceful escape to recharge, we invite you to join us this weekend at Spruce Hill Inn and Cottages.

A Tropical Escape: Winter’s Interlude

The highlight of the week is just down the road at the Kingwood Center Gardens. This is the final week for their spectacular Winter’s Interlude exhibit (ending March 6th).

Step into the display greenhouse and surround yourself with hundreds of vibrant orchids and lush tropical plants. It’s the perfect way to shake off the last of the winter chill before the outdoor gardens officially wake up.

Tip: If you stay through Saturday, don't miss Kingwood's One Day Orchid Sale on March 7th to take a piece of the magic home with you!

Looking Ahead: Spring at Spruce Hill

As the snow melts and the hills turn green, there is so much to look forward to this season:

* Hiking & Biking: Explore the Richland B-Trail as it begins to bloom.

* Garden Prep: Get inspired for your own spring planting with Kingwood’s upcoming Invasive Species Workshop (March 17).

* Spring Break: Our cottages are the perfect cozy home base for family retreats and egg hunts.

Book Your Weekend Retreat. Whether you want to soak in a private whirlpool bath in one of our cottages or enjoy a morning coffee on your deck overlooking the Victorian Manor, we have a spot waiting for you.

Spruce Hill Song #39: "Great is Thy Faithfulness"

“Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father…”

Morning by morning, new mercies meet us right where we are.
Through changing seasons—summer and winter, joy and trial—He remains the same.
No shadow, no turning. Just steady love, enduring peace, and faithful provision.
Strength for today. Hope for tomorrow.
All we have needed, His hand has provided.
🎶 Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto us.
