ABOUT US
A special "Thank You" to everyone who came to visit us last season at THE WOODED GARDEN. We have truly been blessed to meet every one of our guests and consider it a priviledge to be your hosts. We look forward to welcoming our past guests/friends and meeting new ones this season!
THE WOODED GARDEN has become a popular accommodation for small ladies', men's or couples' retreats (e.g. MOPS steering commitees, planning groups for many types of organizations, etc.).
Need a very unique gift for someone special (birthday, anniversary, Sweetest Day, shower or wedding), consider a "gift certificate" to THE WOODED GARDEN! It is a great time to couple a stay at THE WOODED GARDEN with a special "tea" at Lucy & Ethel's Country Tea House.
PLEASE NOTE: All reservations made within 48 hours of arrival must be made by telephone.
The WOODED GARDEN BED and BREAKFAST is just outside of Wilmington, Ohio on Rt. 73, only three miles east of Interstate 71, and less than an hour from Cincinnati, Dayton and Columbus, Ohio. There is much to offer in Wilmington, many fun and interesting places to visit….from the historic Murphy Theater to Gibson’s Goodies, from Wilmington College to Roberts Arena & Convention Center and much more. Did you know that author Norman Crampton featured Wilmington, Ohio in his book, 100 Best Small Towns in America (published by Prentice Hall 1993) and Cincinnati Magazine chose Wilmington as “#1 Most Livable Neighborhood” out of 181 surrounding cities and towns.
For those who want a first hand look at nature, there are walking paths on the bed and breakfast property. The trails that stretch almost a mile through the woods provide scenery conducive to meditation, conversation, or a pleasant way to get a little exercise. Garden benches allow visitors to stop along the way. Tranquility prevails while hiking the woods. Our “Welcoming Garden” invites you to come in and sit awhile. This was the first of our gardens planted on the property. The "Miniature Hosta Garden", "Triangle Garden", "Hydrangea Garden" and "Painted Garden" beds have also been completed. (tour the gardens)
The WOODED GARDEN BED and BREAKFAST invites you to enjoy our three guest suites. Each one is unique…unforgettable….peaceful…! Custom décor offers travelers the hidden treasure of simple elegance and charm while adding a sense of nature’s tranquil romance.
