After a brief but heartfelt visit with family in Cincinnati, we set out for our next Harvest Host stay at New Hope Community Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. The church campus offered a calm and gentle resting place for the night, surprisingly peaceful despite its proximity to the highway, and easy to find even in the soft wash of evening traffic.

We had lingered downtown over dinner, reluctant to leave the glow of the city lights and family conversation, so we arrived at the church later than we usually prefer. We had let our host know ahead of time, and they were gracious and accommodating, welcoming us without hesitation as we settled in under the quiet watch of the sanctuary.

We wholeheartedly recommend this Harvest Host location and would gladly stay here again if our travels bring us back along this route.

Next stop: Kick-a-poo State Park.
