Welcome to Locust Grove Ranch Bed & Breakfast in Mount Vernon, Ohio, a Straight Egyptian Arabian breeding farm standing Extremely Shai, the black son of Simeon Shai, a World Champion Stallion.





Locust Grove Ranch, built in 2000, has 75 rolling acres, complete with woods and a meandering creek and is home to Sheila, our Australian Shepherd, 50 Beef cattle, and our SE Arabian, Morgan, and Quarter Horses.




Enjoy a bike ride down a country road or the nearby bike trails, de-stress with an in-room massage by a licensed therapist, swim in the pool, select a book from the extensive library, or try your hand at croquet, horseshoes, or bocce ball.





Convenient to Kenyon College and Mount Vernon Nazarene University, while golf, shopping, ski trails, and antiques are just minutes away.







The Ranch is a great place for your family gathering or company picnic. Red Hat Teas, bridal or baby showers are special in the Great Room, with hardwood floors, fireplace, even a grand piano. The spacious library offers privacy for small group meetings or business gatherings.




Horse boarding is also available for traveling or as a home base for riding the many trails such as Malabar, Mohican, Alum Creek, or Mohican Valley. There is also an indoor arena. Locust Grove Ranch is pleased to be accepted as an Arabian Horse Discovery Farm. Please call to set up a visit to meet our horses and learn about the Arabian Breed.
