And of course our Innkeeper is an expert on the Civil War and the Underground Railroad and will tell many stories at breakfast. When your guests arrive, they will be presented with a Civil War era candle mat hand made by a local artist. Why not present the gift in a book on the Civil War!

When your guests arrive they will be presented with a small handmade gift of art. Why not present your gift in an art object or an art book.





For the antique lover, we can map out a route of some fabulous local antique shops as well as the famous Jamie's Flea Market (open only on Wednesdays and Saturdays) and the really special resale shop just a half mile away from the B & B!

Or your guests can ride the Rails to Trails Bike Path which extends from Elyria to Kipton with Oberlin being in the middle. More bike paths will be opening next year!
