"At the Signal House, daily stresses and worries seem to float away with the barges. The river's steady gurgle and the Victorian decor make problems seem so irrelevant, so transitory. It's comforting to know we can retreat to the illusion of a less complicated, more romantic world. It's comforting to know that Betsy and Vic are waiting to greet us like long-lost children, waiting to cater to our every whim." Marcy Hawley, Author of "Particular Places" writes... "Waking up with the windows open to the distant sound of river traffic, a Kentucky rooster and fish jumping by the dock below, is a close encounter with "Gone with the Wind", Buckeye style; and there's still Miss Betsy's breakfast waiting for you downstairs." Message from your Hosts We invite you to share our home and friendly little dog Shadow! The Signal House was opened as a small home-stay bed and breakfast in 1989. We have enjoyed meeting our guests from all over the world. Step back in time to experience a piece of history that is visible in our quaint village of Ripley, Ohio. There are covered bridges, specialty shops, restaurants, museums and water recreation waiting for you. We hope to see you soon. Your hosts, Vic and Betsy Billingsley, Shadow Too!
