We have a 7 lb dog which travels with us at all times. We asked Jim whether he allowed pets several months ago - he said he normally does not accept pets, however, he gave us permission for our 7 lb dog. On the 2nd night we were there while having dinner with family, he and his wife showed up, knocked on our door to tell us there were no dogs allowed. He had conveniently forgot that he gave us that exception. Clearly his wife had not been told as she would not not even look at me as she walked by. He asked us to kennel the dog! After reviewing our previous conversation in depth and reminding him that he made the exception, my first instinct was to leave that night and pay him for the two days - but I didn't. I offered to pay a pet deposit in good faith - he declined. We asked him numerous times that evening and the next morning for an invoice that he never produced nor did he ever commit to a rate. At his request we left the heat at 64 degrees the entire weekend in an attempt to keep his cost down. It seemed the price would 'hinge' upon utilities. We finally had to corner him for a price. He offered 400.00 for 6 nights-a good deal we thought. Funny enough, upon exploring the home we did see what appeared to be raccoon feces on the steps to the 3rd floor. My 7 lb dog would have a heck of a time 'pooping' on the side of a step. We forgot to say something but sure should have because when we arrived home he left a message on our home phone and had the balls to blame our dog for crapping on his 3rd floor, when she was never up on the 3rd floor. In the end we wrote a check for $425 for 6 nights, an extra 25.00 to cover his crappy coffee pot that broke the first time we used it just out of courtesy because we also replaced that coffee pot as well. On our final day he rushed us out because he said he had another guest coming. To help, we vacuumed floors, wiped down bathrooms, and cleaned the kitchen (which had old food in it when we arrived). He actually asked us before 10 am for the linens so he could started washing them. Not a problem frankly, but to be accused of not taking care of his property is completely ridiculous. Don't rent from this guy as he's really unprofessional.

I was just wandering through the reviews of Hallauer house and came upon a Negative Review!…read more What??? I've been there many times and have LOVED the place! It is a peaceful oasis! Let me make something clear, if a family of THREE books one room, then someone is going to sleep in the loveseat/chair. One should not blame others for our own miscalculation. It seems like merilee was thinking Holiday Inn or La Quinta where you can roller-skate around the room.This is a Pre Civil War era house. Rooms are not Mc Mansion size. Each room has a Queen bed. Why would you book one room if you have a grown daughter? There IS a Suite with THREE Queen Beds & fold out loveseat. When you book a single room, if you look at the pictures in their promo's you see the Civil War things - then Why bellyache? Joe and Susan have put a lot of thought and effort into this B&B. Joe is a raconteur, and history buff. That he was a school teacher in his previous life helps. A dry sense of humor, that could go over your head if you have a chip on your shoulder. The breakfasts are always unique, tasty and enjoyable. The heated pool and the hot tub and meandering paths to the gazebo out back are all what make me try to stay there whenever I am near. Also, nearby Oberlin and Wellington are more historic pleasures. Now if you are not "into" history then let me suggest a list of modern motels.

After searching the internet for top rated B&B's in Ohio, we chose Hallauer House Bed & Breakfast…read moreon the occasion of our 44th wedding anniversary!. Built in 1830 in the town that gave rise to the Civil War, this charming B&B, a stop on the Underground Railroad, is a virtual museum of mid-18th century and Victorian American History! (And this place is supposedly haunted by a previous owner!). The current owners Joe and Susan are a wealth of knowledge of the history on the house and the area! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to adults and teens (with adults) of any age! (There are too many antiques around for tiny hands to touch.) Hallauer House is just 4 miles from the heart of Oberlin, but trust me, it will be worth the drive to this gem on the Underground Railroad if you are looking for peace and quiet, an exquisite 5-Star gourmet breakfast, a spa package, a workout room, if you so choose, and delightful hosts who work very hard to make their guests feel warmly welcomed. Considering all the amenities provided by Joe and Susan, I don't think any other area lodging facility could even begin to compare!

River Dog Retreat is not simply a B&B or a place to rest your head; it's a destination in its own right. The cottage is cozy and well-appointed, with all the comforts you'd expect in a retreat--an efficient kitchen, strong water pressure, dependable climate control, and furnishings that perfectly complement the calm, artistic atmosphere. What elevates the space, however, are the handmade works of art created by Deb and Terry, which add a sense of character and soul that you won't find elsewhere. The heart of River Dog, though, lies beyond the accommodations. The main lodge is expansive and filled with their extraordinary artwork, each piece crafted with intention and artistry. And then there's the music--intimate concerts featuring exceptional talent that River Dog has become known for. Their website provides a glimpse of the caliber of musicians they host, but experiencing it in person is something special. And none of this would be the same without Deb and Terry themselves. They are the kind of hosts who make you feel as if you've come home. Warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind, they are the threads that weave the entire River Dog experience together. I've traveled extensively around the world, and I've never encountered anything quite like River Dog. I suspect you'll feel the same after a stay here.

This review pertains to the Riverdog as a Concert Venue rather than as a Bed and Breakfast…read more The Riverdog hosts periodic small concerts by musical acts hand-picked by the venue owners, mainly in the genres of Americana and roots music. Winter concerts are smaller, limited to 90 seats in the gallery; summer concerts are held in the barn, with an attendance limit of about 150. Ticket prices are $15 for all shows and RSVP's via email are first-come-first-serve. Before the show, you can come early, order a wood-fired pizza, and relax in the lounge. During intermission, light refreshments are graciously provided by the hosts and alcoholic beverages are BYOB. This cozy, welcoming, quirky venue is one of the most pleasant and unique concert-going experiences I have ever had and I will jump at the chance to return!

Not the same campground…read more I have stayed at this campground several times. My kids love all the activities so we try to make it a yearly stop. They have wibits, outdoor pool, jump pad and other scheduled activities. This time around we were somewhat disappointed with our stay. They campground has been going through a management change. They expressed multiple times they have a 5 year plan. Although I think they are over a year into the plan we had booked months in advance bc the campground used to be hard to get a spot. Although it was only about half full on a holiday weekend when we stayed. They also told us they would have a new resort style pool open by then. Although the pool wasn't even close to being finished. They have emptied out most of the camping spots and have cabins all over the park that have not been hooked up. The grass was really long and someone said the mower had broke. The pool was dirty and we saw broken glass around the edge. Lots of barking dogs, especially across from the playground. During our stay the activities were not at the same caliber as they used to be and many of them you had to pay to participate in. Like bingo you have to bring your own candy bar. And every interaction with one of the bears seemed to have something for sale. The times of events were usually delayed. One time because the shower house needed to be pumped out. I think the dynamic of the type of camper they are trying to reach is different than what I have seen here in the past. Kids still had a great time but just want others to beware if they haven't stayed here in a couple years.
