Heartland Country Resort and Lodge - Fredericktown, Ohio

A true hidden gem ! What a delight it was to spend the afternoon with Jim and the animals! We stumbled upon Heartland County Resort As we were planning our day trip to the Groovy Plant Ranch. I was able to easily coordinate with Laurie A time to swing by with my 8 year old daughter.
From the moment we pulled in the driveway we were greeted by Jim and the animals and immediately felt like family. Jim was prepared with cut up treats for all the animals offered to take us around and introduce us to all of the animals as my daugher pet and fed them. He offered age-appropriate information. It was educational and fun for everyone. This will definitely be a core memory for my child ! We can tell that Jim and Laurie are passionate about what they do and genuinely enjoyed the animals 💙❤️💛 We were able to take our time and really get an up close Look at the animals while interacting with them.It was a child's dream ! ......... Definitely a 10 out of 10 for us.Would highly recommend !! We have already
started to think about our next trip back and would like to stay at one of the properties! Thank you again so much 💜🩷❤️

It's a little piece of heaven in Ohio...
Laurie & Jim do everything they can to save Gods creatures and provide them a nice caring animal life.
So if you are looking for a lovely place to enjoy a petting zoo and the countryside and relax in cute wooden cabins.
This bed & breakfast is your perfect fit.

PS: Laurie, I love your breakfast! - Sooo yummy.

So...where do I start?

Our stay 5-28 through 5-30 was as expected...Peaceful and relaxing. The owners work so hard to make sure your stay is as complete and memorable as possible. Their hospitality is second to none. This is our second trip there and most definitely won't be the last.
The animals are so pleasurable to be around...it's like they appreciate you coming as well.:)

If you do stay...my recommendation is to purchase the breakfast delivery too. Everything was amazing.

Exactly what we needed.

We had a successful, happy stay at the Heartland Country Resort. The cabin was super clean and we were able to crack the window just a bit to get some cooler air at night.|The animals were a huge hit with both adults and grandchildren. They seem used to people and kids, which is a plus. Jim helped with Humphrey the camel and gave positive, helpful guidance.

My boyfriend and I stayed here back in June while we were in town for a nearby annual event we attend. In our search for hotels we stumbled across Heartland, and were immediately interested; the cabin suite, property, and animals all seemed so charming. And they were! Our stay here was perfect, and I can't imagine staying anywhere else when we're in town again next year.

We stayed in the Harmony Suite, and it was super neat, clean, spacious, and included everything we needed for our stay. Not to mention the hospitality! Jim and Laurie really did go above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. They were also available to answer any questions, and we got to chat on a few occasions while visiting with the animals.

Which was one of my favorite parts about staying here: the animals! They're all super friendly and have their own personalities, especially Boomer and Blue. If Boomer had it his way, we'd be throwing his ball for him all day. We even got a visit from a friendly cat while out on the porch enjoying the fresh air, and he jumped right into our laps, purring as loud as can be.

Next year, I definitely want to book a few extra days before or after our event so that I can really enjoy the property itself and spend a bit more time with the animals. I'm so used to staying at a hotel where you're really there just to sleep at night, and didn't realize how much of a nice, relaxing experience this place would be in comparison. I actually wanted to spend more time in the room or out on the porch- not leave it every morning to head to the event.

This resort really is a hidden gem, and we were so lucky to find out about it and get the chance to stay here during our event. We're already excited for our next stay, and would recommend Heartland to anyone who has business/an event in the area, or even someone who just wants to have a relaxing vacation away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The only thing we'd do differently next time is book some additional days, and try the full country style breakfast!

READ THIS REVIEW!!!

Okay... found this suite on a third party website. Before booking anything I decided to read some of the Google reviews. Decided, after reading said reviews, to book the suite and couldn't be more pleased with our stay.

To address some of the complaints... if the 'beds are to soft'... there may be some underlying issues you should address before posting a negative review. The beds were perfect. As of the 'it's to quiet' review... again... what exactly were you expecting getting a cabin in the middle of nowhere farm country? If you wanted some 'background noise' I'm sure there is somewhere in Franklin County that has a nice symphony of gun shots and loud music that could suite your needs.

All of that aside, these people are wonderful. It's hard to express how wonderful they are but to say the least... we need more people like them in the world (Jim and Laurie Mooney). Every question we had was immediately answered. Every concern we had was immediately addressed. Basically, they went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect... and it was.

The animals are beyond words. Jim and Laurie can help you if you're not confident with farm animals and if you are, they will leave you to your own and be standing by if you need anything or have any issues. I'd say the animals steal the show... but that would be an insult to the care and compassion that Jim and Laurie offer to every guest that stays there.

Long story short (not to short obviously), the suite is exactly as described. The 'hosts' (i.e. Jim and Laurie) could not be more accommodating, available, and loving. The property is gorgeous and exactly what someone looking for a quiet weekend would expect. The farm animals are absolutely perfect and having Jim and Laurie help us navigate everything is invaluable.

It is money well spent and you will disappointed if you pass up on the opportunity to spend time at this amazing bed and breakfast/resort.

My Wife and I stayed here while I attended Nationals and it is a peaceful place. And we didn't have to drive to some place to walk the dogs, we just walked them here and they enjoyed seeing the animals in the petting zoo.

The cabin we stayed at was clean and the bed was comfy, had a coffee pot and fridge and tv. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

We didn't take advantage of the breakfast or massage services, but maybe next time.
