Lodging
We always recommend the Drury Inn in Middletown, OH. It's only a few years old, is close by and offers lots of wonderful amenities. If that kind of facility isn't to your taste, here's an interesting alternative. Also, we have a camper on site that can be rented by the night. See the Camper link for information on that. We complied this listing of Middletown area hotels, restaurants, shopping, and hospital/ER care and included a map from DHF to Middletown for our out-of-town guests' convenience.
Historic Hotel
The Golden Lamb, 27 S. Broadway, Lebanon OH 45036, 513.932.5065
The Golden Lamb is Ohio's oldest hotel. If you love history and antiques, you'll love the Lamb! They have rooms marked with which famous person stayed there: Mark Twain, Ulysses S. Grant, Charles Dickens, on and on, including recent day celebrities too. The restaurant is good too, serving traditional American fare. There's also a tavern on premises, as well as a lovely gift shop. This hotel is a true antique itself - there is no elevator and the stairways are long. If you ask, they will allow you to wander through the hotel on a self-guided tour. Be sure to go to every floor so you don't miss anything! And if you have time, be sure to explore downtown Lebanon, which is full of antique and gift shops.
Tack Shop
Just down the road a couple of miles from the Golden Lamb is The Tack Trunk, the best English tack and gift shop around! To get there from the heart of Lebanon, stay South on Rt. 48 (Broadway) until you cross the railroad tracks, then bear right onto US 42. It's a mile or two down the road on the right and well-marked. You can't miss it.
Food
Always an important topic! The nearest food to DHF is clustered along some roads just a few miles away. Turn left out of DHF's driveway onto Weisenberger Rd, then turn left at the stop sign onto Old 122, then take the first right on Drake Road (after the furniture store). At the next light (Miller Rd.), go straight and at the next intersection (Columbus Ave.), you'll find Frisch's, Penn Station, Pizza Hut, Buffalo Wild Wings and several other places to eat There's a Starbuck's inside the Kroger there to the left of the intersection of Drake Road and Columbus Ave. If you want Arby's, McDonalds, Burger King or Wendy's, at the first light on Drake Road, instead of going straight, turn left onto Miller Rd. Go straight through the next light onto the US 42 Bypass and take the first EXIT (not the first road, an exit ramp) onto East Main Street (S OH 123) . At the bottom of the ramp, turn right and all those restaurants as well as a place to make copies and mail packages will be right there. If you go left at the bottom of that ramp, there's a Bob Evans (sit-down country American food - yummy, but not "fast food").
Groceries, etc.
There are snack and drink vending machines in DHF's Observation Room as well as a machine that makes change. If you need something else, turn left out of the farm driveway onto Weisenberger Rd., turn left on Old 122, turn right on Drake Road (just past the furniture store), go straight through the light and there will be a Kroger on your left down the road near the end. Or you can turn left at the light at Drake Road onto Miller Lane, then turn left again on N US Route 42 and go up the hill to Walmart on the right. It's a relatively new Walmart and includes a big grocery section as well as all the stuff Walmart normally carries. All of these destinations are within an easy drive of DHF
The map below has its pointer at DHF's address, 4080 Weisenberger Road, Lebanon OH. You can scroll around to see the directions given above and get an idea of how things are laid out.
