Gorgeous property with absolutely stellar spa services. My husband surprised me with a spa day here…read moreand I was totally blown away. I was a bit hesitant, because, to be honest, the decor in the mansion is a bit outdated. Still beautiful, but slightly cluttered. But the spa services were absolutely fantastic and very reasonably priced. The facial, body wraps, scrubs, and massages were all A+. Owners were very sweet and accommodating and the food was good. I would drive up from Cincinnati any time for a massage from Randi!

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.

We stayed in the Carriage Room and it was adorable and cozy. There was another family with a baby--but the house is so big my husband and I barely heard anyone. Breakfast was homemade and delicious!

We loved the intact tiling in the bathroom, original floor, and hand-built bed headboard in the Western Room. Everything was sparkling clean. The modernized tiled kitchen is welcoming and sleek, and opens into a patio overlooking flowering native plants and many trees. Breakfast featured local breads, fresh fruit and exceptional bacon even a pescatarian can love. Best of all is the personable and knowledgeable hostess - we learned a lot about sustainable living and the people who live in this area. We stayed two nights, and cycled on the Cardinal Greenway each day.

Leighanne was wonderful, and her home was absolutely beautiful!…read more We arrived rather late, but she and her husband made us feel VERY welcome and upgraded us to a larger room (very unexpected and lovely!) Breakfast was wonderful, conversation was great and the value of the room was very, very good! I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting the Richmond, IN area!

This was the 1st B&B we've ever stayed at. That said, it's only fair to say that moving forward,…read morethe bar has been set very high. This place was unbelievable. 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. If you're looking for a B&B, do yourself a favor and book this place. We WILL be back.

What a pleasant overnight we shared recently at Hearthstone Inn! Its location, in the heart of…read moreCedarville was perfect for our explorations. Ample parking was behind the inn; newly asphalted too! The reception lobby was open and inviting. The timber beams, heavy hand tools and dated photographs nodded to the entire area's rustic roots. Manager Joan greeted us warmly, and regaled us with stories of the village's pioneers and valued residents. It was wonderful! Our first floor Queen Room (~ $160) was spotless, fresh and quiet. Bedding was comfortable, as was the room temperature. All appliances and fixtures worked well. Loved the Evelyn & Crabtree toiletries as well as the thick, fresh towels! Breakfast was very simple, consisting of cereals and canned fruit salad with a few cellophane-wrapped sweets, but the local coffee brew was hot, fresh and strong! We visited the little gift shop, and picked up a history book and vintage postcards. There are local crafts and wares available too. We recommend the Hearthstone to anyone considering a visit to the area.

The event was held in the main barn, and below the event space there is a beautiful suite for overnight stay. The suite features a full kitchen, spacious living and dining area, and a large bedroom with a huge bathroom with beautiful stone walls! The wedding was a wonderful success, and the venue is the reason why. The staff is incredible and professional. Photo opportunities on the property are almost endless, and span a variety of styles. I absolutely loved my time here, and I am already planning a stay for myself and my husband.

I cannot sing enough praises about Scott, Tari, and their beautiful home. I came to Oxford for a…read moreconference in November at Miami U. I'm a city girl, and I was wary of going to an unfamiliar and very rural area, but as soon as I stepped foot into the bed & breakfast, I felt immediately at home. The first night I got there, it was pouring rain and I couldn't see well. I parked in front of the house and Tari kindly told me I could leave the car there until the morning and she showed me around and made me feel immediately at ease. Tari and Scott actually live off of a little road towards the back of the house, but they are within walking distance of the house and always accessible by phone if you need anything. The house is absolutely stunning and comforting, and it has all the amenities you could possibly need. Tari and Scott take great care of the house. It was always in immaculate condition. The furniture and fixtures are beautiful, and there is a fully stocked kitchen (you can take any of the food for the day free of charge--granola bars, crackers, fruit, deli meats, cheese, baked banana bread, bagels, tea, coffee, juice, soda, bottled water, wine, and more!). I practically ate an entire banana bread loaf that Tari baked during my stay because it was so delicious, and of course Tari and Scott will serve you a yummy breakfast every morning upon request. I had some of the best night's sleep in the room I stayed in too. Each room has its own thermostat and there was a comfy down blanket that I slept with every night for the three nights I was there. My drive to Miami U. each morning was less than 5 minutes, and every time I left the conference, I was excited to go back to the house! Tari and Scott are very kind and personable. They truly care about their guests' comfort and happiness. I highly recommend staying here over a hotel. The rates are comparable, and you get so much more from staying here. If I ever find myself in Oxford again, I will for sure stay here again.

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.)
