Specifically, I love feeling like you are visiting a welcoming home, the (typically) delicious home cooked breakfasts, the small special touches, and the hospitality of the hosts. We just did not experience those things here. The house itself is beautiful and well maintained, considering its age. The room (suite 5) was clean and spacious, and we loved relaxing on the screened-in porch at night. I would stay elsewhere on any future trips to Yellow Springs.

Recently renovated, it is a delight to the eye, with its antique and vintage furniture, perfectly chosen colors, and tasteful ornamentation. The common area downstairs, where a healthy and fresh continental breakfast is available every morning, is both lovely (I particularly loved the rocker) and comfortable. Our upstairs bedroom had not only vintage furnishings, but also welcome modern elements, such as the king-sized bed and wide-screen television - and there was plenty of drawer and hanging space. Every detail evidenced the care and taste of our host, Jim, from the lovely bed linens and ample towels, to the selection of personal toiletries in the elegant (and spotless) marble bathroom. Who expects a glorious white orchid on the vanity? And on the subject of the host, Jim is all we could have wished for. In addition to his attentive hospitality, as a long-time resident of Yellow Springs, he knows its history, its people, and its stories; and he is generous in sharing information about places to eat, shop, see art, and enjoy the natural beauty of the surrounding area. We learned quickly that pretty much everyone in town knows and loves Jim and is eager to welcome his guests. Three Ten is a not-to-be-missed lodging experience. in a delightful town.

Opting for the loft suite next to the main Jailhouse, we got settled in after re-reading the easy-to-follow instructions from our hosts. The loft features high ceilings and my wife compared it to staying in a treehouse. The room was immaculate and had several amenities, like a coffee pot and a microwave, so one could enjoy breakfast in-house if that was in your plans. There's also an adorable breakfast nook under a window looking out over the trees. Yellow Springs, Ohio is certainly my kind of quirky and lived up to expectations. From Jailhouse, it's a short walk, say five minutes, down to the heart of the town, and the famed Little Miami trail. This is a perfect location for those hoping to enjoy what the town has to offer. Affordable, convenient, and excellent service from the proprietors. Highly recommended.

When we pulled up, we were amazed how beautiful this building is. The landscape was gorgeous(they have a garden area) and love the color of the building. The owner was great with communication, paid credit card over the phone and did not have to check in through a lobby/front desk, put in a code on the front door. That easy. We got the suite which was on the top floor. We walked in and loved it. It was newly renovated and really clean. Awesome decor. It did not feel like a hotel. There was a kitchen, (pots pans, utensils refrigerator, filtered water) and a keurig coffee maker (which is a bonus), widescreen tv (in living room and bedroom), dining area, extra toiletries if needed, extra towels, and building is solar energy My only con was the bed was not comfortable and the hot water did not stay long if you wanted to take a bath. I would highly recommend this place if you would like to stay in Yellow Springs. Only minutes away from downtown.

We also enjoyed the Spinach Artichoke Dip with Pita which was full of flavor, as well as the gooey Broccoli Cheddar Soup. I also, enjoy the Salmon with Horseradish sauce over a bed of risotto, and spinach. My wife had the grilled Romain salad which was very unique and tasty.

Anyway, Patty was a wonderful host who took great care of us (even through the town/village of South Charleston losing elec. power for a couple-three hours in the late afternoon-evening) and served us, and another group of 5 cyclers going the other direction (south) on the same 326 mile Trail, a wonderful, freshly made breakfast the next morning.

My opinion of B&B's has always been that at the end of the day, you're just a guest in someone's home, but I never felt less than welcome and comfortable. Sherry & Wesley were both so friendly and welcoming, actually sat out by the carriage house with Wesley and his son and enjoyed a nice cigar and was treated to some very pleasant wine. The House was dripping with history, the décor was so amazing, I found myself just sitting and looking around as if I were sitting in a history book photo. We were there on a bike trip with another couple. The house is right off the Xenia Paths. They had secure storage for our bikes and a place for them to plug in. The price was more than reasonable.

What a GORGEOUS bed and breakfast, about halfway between Dayton and Columbus, Ohio…read more The Hopkins House - once belonging to the famous painter and former OSU fine arts dean James Hopkins - sits on a charming 200 acre farm in Mechanicsburg, aka the Middle of Nowhere. The house itself... was designed by a ten year old boy. WHAAAAAT. When the original property burned down in 1902, I guess James' brother, Harold, was given the task of sketching out the house. The quirks of a child are apparent in the lacking uniformity and convention of the property - oddly placed windows, no two of which are the same size. A secret desk/workspace. Cute. Prints of artwork of James and wife Edna are scattered throughout the house, along with one original work displayed prominently in the living room. There are a lot of books and scrapbooks strewn throughout. Very interesting stuff for art or history lovers or just the curious. I learned a lot about the history of the house, Mechanicsburg and the Hopkins family in part from what fun young owner Amanda told us when we arrived and toured, in part from books and scrapbooks of history scattered throughout, but mostly from the morning of our stay when I learned so much detail from Amanda's father, who has worked on the farm since he was a child and was friendly with the family. It was so great to hear first-person stories in the house where they happened. There are five bedrooms, each with very different own charm and decor. My favorite of which is known as the Sunrise room, appropriately decked out in cozy sun colors. When I was here, I stayed in the summer sleeping porch off of the Professor's Room and awoke to the most gorgeous sunrise. I wasn't even pissed to be awake at 7am on a Saturday :) In the morning my friends and I took a leisurely stroll around the farm before breakfast. Said hi to some moo cows, chased kitties, took pictures, enjoyed the quiet and calm of it all. Breakfast was SO good. Local eggs, sausage and potatoes seasoned with local herbs, french toast, yogurt, fresh fruit, delicious coffee and orange juice. The gorgeous tin ceiling in the dining room kept catching my eye while I was stuffing my face! I'm totally not a country person. But getting away here for one night was calming and serene. A perfect place to escape to for locals, or to visit while passing through. Rates range from $59/night up to $179/night for a suite that can sleep 6 people. Obligatory disclaimer: I totally stayed here for free. (Be jealous.)

It would make for great strolling and B&B's would only lend to the charm of these gentrified neighborhoods. The Harrison House is one of the few bed and breakfast inns within striking distance of downtown and is situated on the very edge of Ohio State's campus in the neighborhood known as Harrison West (hence the name, Harrison House). The 1890's Victorian home has a great location and is on the National Register of Historic Places. It has been beautifully renovated to include six rooms that range in price from $129 to $169 dollars. All of the guest rooms have a private bath, queen size bed, cable television and wireless Internet service. Breakfast is included in the price and free parking is available on site- which is a bonus given the street parking in this area is hard to come by at times, especially when Ohio State is in session. I have stayed in loads of insanely beautiful B&B's and have developed super high standards when it comes to these types of accommodations. Aside from the Harrison House being privately owned and located in a nifty part of town, there isn't anything particularly special about the place.
