As another week passes us by…
Summer officially begins this Friday!
Here at Cherry Ridge Retreat, the signs of summer are starting to show. Our tiny goslings are growing up, the baby barn swallows are chirping and trying out their wings and this year’s new fawns are starting to explore the property! Everywhere is green and all this rain is certainly helping! This week we’ve got plenty to get up to in the Hills, so lets jump right in!

Rock at Rockside
Saturday, June 22nd, 1pm & 4pm
Enjoy the breathtaking geology of Ohio’s unique Rock House formation then enjoy some family friendly, toe-tapping live music of Johnny Ohio at the Shelter House. Johnny Ohio’s sound is self described as “a little twang of rockabilly, a little flavoring of folk and a twist of his own.” A fun way to take in both the nature and culture of Ohio’s Hocking Hills!
