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!

Coming from a city that is high on organic, all-natural foods and perfectly roasted coffee, you can imagine our fussy palates. The Hallauer House passed with flying colors. The bed & breakfast itself has quite a bit of history within it's walls. The hosts, Susan and Joe, are happy to acquaint you with myriad antiques and artifacts they've collected throughout the years. The house is quite old - 100+ years. Of special note are the leftover markings and trap door from the underground railroad which used to run through the house in the 1800's. I would highly recommend booking with the Hallauer House as far in advance as you can. They get booked up quickly AND there isn't a better place to stay in Oberlin!

We stayed at River Dog with another couple while visiting friends in the area, and only after…read morearriving did we realize that this was far more than a reservation--it was an experience. 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!

I've stayed at B&B's all over the country, and I have to say this is one of the best I've…read moreencountered. It's new, and it's the only B&B in Berea, with the quaint downtown square right around the corner. The owners are quick to respond to any problems, the location is fantastic, the beds are good. Even the *towels* here are top-notch. When I checked to make sure I didn't have down pillows, I found brand new allergy shield pillow covers on high-quality synthetic pillows. When you stay in a B&B in an old Victorian or heritage home, usually that means dealing with a tiny bathroom, undersized shower, and so on; the beautiful old home that houses Riverside Gables was completely renovated in fall 2012, with nice big showers, new fixtures, and new floors. Guests even have a sitting room, with a kitchenette and fridge, Keurig coffee machine, spare dishes, and (my favorite) electric kettle and teapots for tea. Glass bottles of water are kept chilled for the use of the guests, and it was great to have that bottle of water to take to my room (and also not feel like I was wasting a plastic bottle just to have something cold to drink.) There's also a separate back door for guests. Breakfast has been excellent: fruit salad to start, juice, a beautiful omelette the first time I stayed and a Belgian waffle this morning. The owners have a beautiful Golden Retriever, but he is not allowed in the B&B portion of the house. Catherine is lovely to talk to, knowledgeable about the area, and responsive to the needs and preferences of her guests. If business brings me back to the area, I will *definitely* put this place at the top of my list.

The bathrooms are sizable and modern, the bedrooms are cozy and comfortable, plus there's a sitting room if you want to get out of the bedroom.

Second best is that they've got both a Tesla wall charger and a J1772 charger for those with electric cars, and the best thing is that you have the delightful Rocky River Valley across the street for driving and recreation.

We unpacked and went right to the deck over looking the lake. Deck is big with 4 tables, a fire pit and lot's of room. Bart took time to tell us all about the area. He gave suggestions for our dinner and then called a local place and got us a private room for dinner. He knew all the best places to go. We had our own coolers stock so we had all of our favorite beverages so we settled in and enjoyed the deck and the lake. Our room had a setting area, a great bed and a wonderful bathroom with a big tub and a shower with a rain head. It was the widest shower head I have ever seen. Great towels and bathrobes. We went to dinner a half mile away and made it back to see a beautiful sunset from the top deck. Yes, 2 decks. The lower deck is ground level and if you are there and so if you want a private place to enjoy the lake go down there. There is also a very large hot tub if you enjoy them. The next morning, we woke to the smell of coffee and went out to the deck and was served a beautiful breakfast by Sandy, Bart's wife and co-owner. If we ever go back to Port Clinton, we will stay there again. My idea of a B & B, have changed. Bart and Sandy were Great Host and Innkeepers. Thanks to them for a great Stay.
