WINE TOURISM DAY!

Yeah! The first annual National Wine Tourism Day is being celebrated on Saturday, May 11, 2013! Special events around the country are being held that day to honor the grape that brings us "the liquid of the gods!" Wineries, hotels, restaurants, and other wine tourism businesses, like Hallauer House Bed & Breakfast, are offering special events and special deals to celebrate the importance (and fun) of wine tourism.

North Coast Grapevine Tours in Lorain is offering a special tour, visiting 4 wineries, sampling wines at each stop, and having lunch at one of them. We thought it would be great to offer a deal also. If you read our previous post about Inn Rewards, you will see our special deal for guests coming to us from that website. We are extending that deal to anyone who is celebrating WINE and visiting Ohio wineries on May 11, 2013. That deal is: stay with us one or two nights and upon check-in receive a complimentary bottle of Ohio Wine from one of our local wineries and a snack tray of cheese and crackers. And don't forget that May 12 is Mother's Day! Don't you think Mom would just love visiting a few wineries and staying at a B & B to enjoy more fine wine? We only have 2 rooms left so call now to reserve your spot to celebrate wine and mom! Be sure to mention this post from FB or the Blog to get the wine deal. See you soon!

New B & B Directory

A new Bed and Breakfast Directory is now up and running and it is called InnRewards.com.B & B's have come together to encourage people to stay at a  B & B instead of a cookie cutter hotel. B & B's are unique with no two exactly alike anywhere you go. Some are Victorian, some are country, some are city, some are western, some are small, some are large, some have a whirlpool in each room, some have a fireplace, some are historic, some are modern, some are formal, some are informal. And the list goes on!

So to encourage people to try a B & B, this new worldwide website was created to bring Innkeepers together who are offering guests rewards for staying with them. Some are offering percentages off, some are offering a stay of 2 nights get third night free. Some are offering free coffee mugs or wine glasses, some are offering spa products, some are offering baked goods, and we are offering our reward - a COMPLIMENTARY BOTTLE OF OHIO WINE AND A CHEESE AND CRACKER TRAY upon check-in. Check out this link to our page on the website. http://innrewards.com/cgi-bin/dirs.cgi?lv=2&ct=United_States-Ohio.

We plan to change our reward monthly so we can offer a variety of incentives for our guests to enjoy. So if you are looking for a really nice place to stay, check out this website InnRewards.com.  But remember, no matter which B & B you reserve with, you must mention their reward code at the time of booking. Not good to mention it upon your arrival! So we look forward to hearing from you. Give us a call. You know you want to! We'll give you a reward!

It's Time for B & B's for Vets!

November is quickly approaching and with it comes Veteran's Day on Sunday Nov. 11, when bed and breakfasts around the country say thanks to all of our active duty military personnel and veterans by offering a FREE night! This year, we here at Hallauer House, are holding all 3 of our rooms for active duty military and vets. So gather up your wife, husband, partner, or friend and come enjoy a well deserved fall getaway in Oberlin, OH, a little college town with unique shops, fabulous restaurants, and great music. And military people really love our Civil War theme with swords, uniforms, and military history! All branches of the service are welcome- Navy, Marines, Air Force, Army, and Coast Guard. And a shout out to our Coastie daughter, Emily, down there in Key West!

So what to do on this free getaway! Two events at the college on Sunday, Nov. 11 are:

The Oberlin Opera Theatre with the Oberlin Chamber Orchestra presenting an opera by Franz Josef Haydn: "Il Mondo della Luna." Single Tickets: $12 Public, $8 Seniors. All tickets $3 more at the door. Admission by individual ticket. Tickets can be obtained through Oberlin College Central Ticket Service (CTS) at 440-775-8169 or 800-371-0178.

and, A guest recital by Stanley Yates on classical guitar. Admission is free. Program TBA.

If you would rather pass on the opera and/or the classical guitar, you can always stay here at the B & B and enjoy one or all of our fine amenities. Unfortunately the pool will be closed for the season but the exercise room/rec room will be open for you to enjoy. Play some ping pong, shoot some pool, work out on one of the machines, or play some board games. There is also the Asian spa with whirlpool tub and the far infrared sauna, a real hit after a good workout! And because it is Sunday, Sunday, I'm sure there will be a football game somewhere on our satellite TV for you to enjoy! And there is nothing like wrapping up in a blanket in the evening and sitting by the fire in the fire pit at the pavilion, sipping some fine wine while listening to the running stream and the call of the frogs!

So this is a first come, first served deal. Check our website for oodles of information and to see which room you would like to reserve. First one to call gets first choice of the Suite! A complimentary, four course breakfast is served in the morning along with stories of the Civil War, and Oberlin's involvement in the Underground Railroad. You must have military or veteran ID upon checking in.

So don't procrastinate as the rooms will be gone in a flash. And if you live too far from Oberlin or you find us full, then check out other participating B & B's at the website B & B's for Vets.

Or, even better, take a full day of vacation time on Wednesday!

This SPECIAL is offered to you at a cost of just $99.00 in a standard room for the night of February 14 and we will include with that price a complimentary bottle of champagne and a cheese, cracker, and fruit platter. Want to stay in the Suite with the Jacuzzi tub? Then the price would be just $149.00 for the night and you also receive the champagne and the cheese platter.

So what are you waiting for? Call soon to 440-77403400 or 877-774-3406.

Small Business Saturday

November 26, 2011 is Small Business Saturday and there is a movement afoot to encourage people to shop that day at a small, local business instead of one of the retail giants. So let us remind you that a bed and breakfast is a small business! Yes, we sell a service, a hospitality service that can be purchased in the form of a gift certificate for those very special people on your Christmas shopping list. And your friend or loved one will get to celebrate you and your gift twice - once upon receiving it and again when they take their getaway to the B & B!

Here at Hallauer House Bed & Breakfast, gift certificates are available in any amount, for any number of days, or for any special package. We also do a 'Themed Gift Card Package' to help you in your gift giving.

Now for more good news! On Small Business Saturday, November 26, we are offering all of our gift certificates at a 25% discount!

So here is what you need to do. Visit our website, decide what amount, package, or theme you would like, give us a call at 877-774-3406 or 440-774-3400, order your gift certificate, swing by the B & B and pick it up, or make arrangements for us to mail it to you. This offer is good only on Nov. 26. Think about it! And remember - B & B's are the Better Way to Stay!

B and B's for Vets

Once again Hallauer House B & B is an enthusiastic participant in the B & B's for Vets program sponsored by PAII, the Professional Association of International Innkeepers and The Better Way to Stay Campaign. This is a program started as a way for B & B's to thank all of our veterans and active duty military personnel for the service that they have given or are presently giving, to our country. Last year we gave away one night in all three of our rooms for FREE. The first callers last year were three Coast Guard officers from the Cleveland area. (We like Coastie's since our daughter is an IT 2 Petty Officer stationed in Key West! Yeah Emily!)

This year the date for the FREE night giveaway is Thursday, November 10, 2011. We are holding 2 rooms for the first veterans or active duty persons to call and request the B & B's for Vets special night! Bring your spouse, friend, partner! Come early to explore Oberlin, a great college town with much to do and then dine in one of our many super restaurants! Take in a movie at the Apollo or spend the evening at one of the college events. In the morning we will treat you to a FREE four course breakfast before you set out to enjoy the day of Veteran's activities. You can also make use of our many amenities: the exercise room, the new rec room, the whirlpool tub, the dry heat sauna. Play the piano, read the history books, and listen to Joe's stories about the Civil War and the Underground Railroad. We don't do frilly but instead decorate our rooms with swords and military uniforms from the Civil War. 

So much to do, so little time! But we always invite you to come back!

If you live too far away to come to Hallauer House, then take advantage of one of the other B & B's participating in the program. Check out this website, B & B's for Vets. If you don't find one in your area right away, don't dispare as participating B & B's are added everyday!

This program is on a first come, first served basis so the first 2 callers get the deal. So what are you waiting for?! Pick up the phone and call 440-774-3400 or 877-774-3406. Please bring ID with proof of military service.

Candle Glow

Baby, it's cold outside! The snow is on the ground and the cold breeze is blowing, but inside Hallauer House Bed & Breakfast, the candles are lit and the air is warm!

When guests come down to breakfast this holiday season, they are greeted not only with an elegant table set with Lenox china, sterling silver, cloth napkins, white poinsettas, and delicious food, but also with a warm glow from candles both big and small, fat and thin, and arranged in varying heights on the 1830 mahognany buffet. Snaking through the candle stacks is a string of white lights in silver lace holders, holding hands with silver beads, glittery blue ribbon, and white velvety poinsettas. The candle glow is warm as it invites you to come in, smell the aromas, and enjoy the freshly prepared breakfast cuisine. So please come in! It's time to come to the table!

And just a reminder about our Gift Card Packages, (see link for details), a truly memorable gift that says you care enough to give the very best.

And don't forget to pamper yourself a little bit this holiday season! You can still "Bid Your Own Room Rate" (see the link for details) until Dec. 22. Come and shop at the quaint stores in Oberlin, have dinner at one of our great restaurants, and then warm up in front of the fire at the B & B! When you come down for breakfast in the morning, the candles will be glowing for you!

Be sure to check back to the Blog or our Website for January's specials.

We hope to see you soon before the candles burn out!

Happy Bidding!

Sunday Joe and I attended the open house at Laurel Run Cooking School in Vermilion where we got to sample some delicious food, tour the school, and dream about owning all of the fantastic cooking products that were available for purchase! As we tasted, we picked up recipes for some of the sample foods, things such as Cranberry-Orange Pecan Log, Chicken Bites with Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce, Warm Goat and Cream Cheese with Rosemary Oil & Garlic, a Spicy Pumpkin Soup, and Citrus Shortbreads. Unfortunately I know I missed other recipes that were out and about.

Laurel Run is located at 2600 North Ridge Road in Vermilion, Ohio, just a 15 minute drive from Hallauer House B & B, and has been owned and operated by Marcia DePalma since 1996. Marcia's philosophy is to make cooking fun while you learn new culinary skills that will excite your own home cooking. Want to learn how to bake bread, make fabulous soups, take a culinary tour of Budapest, put together entertaining appetizers,or just learn some basic cooking techniques,then this is the place to go! Check this link for class schedules and times - https://www.laurelruncookingschool.com/class-calender.asp. In looking at her calendar I see that a great majority of her classes are already SOLD OUT for the rest of November and December! But have no fear there will be more classes coming up in the months to follow so you might want to bookmark her schedule page or buy a gift certificate for someone on your Christmas list! You can also buy top of the line cooking equipment and exceptional cooking ingredients that will make your creative dishes 'POP'!

And here's another suggestion. If you want to take a class at Laurel Run why not consider staying here at Hallauer House after the class and enjoy a little of the culinary experiences here in Oberlin. As a special to our BLOG readers we will offer a 10% discount for our Union or Confederate Room if you are taking a class at Laurel Run. Just be sure to mention that you found this discount on the Blog which is also posted to our Facebook Page.

So Happy Cooking! And hope to see you soon!

Veteran's Day

November 10th is a special day set aside to honor our military personnel, both active duty and retired, for the service that they have, or are giving to our country. So in honor of all of these great men and women we are joining with over 280 Bed and Breakfasts nationwide in 40 states, to say "ThankYou!"





If you have a valid Military ID or an ID card from the Veterans Administration, we welcome you to book a FREE room here at Hallauer House Bed & Breakfast or at one of the other participating B & B's for Wednesday, November 10, 2010 ONLY. You and your spouse/partner are welcome and it will be on a first come, first serve basis. ID will be required at check-in! If you cannot come to Oberlin then check out this website http://www.bnbsforvets.org/participants.html to find other participating B & B's in one of the other 40 states.



Throughout the year we give a 20% discount to active duty or retired military personnel and we especially like Coasties from the US Coast Guard since our youngest
daughter is now a Petty Officer IT2 stationed in Key West, FL. Yeah Emily!

If you have never stayed at a B & B before then this is your chance to give it a try. We have everything the big hotels have but we are small, friendly, and welcoming to all. Check our website! We promise you won't be disappointed! Go on! Call! You know you want to!
