WARM SUNSHINE is HERE! (and not too soon!)

Well, it has been a VERY l-o-n-g winter for us all here in Ohio.  We are finally beginning to see the renewal of nice weather with cyclists on our adjacent Ohio-to-Erie Bike Trail and a marathon race which passed right on by our inn a short time ago. 

April is the perfect time to make those nice-weather get-away plans.  Hiking, cycling, exploring, antiquing, or just "escaping".  Here at Hearthstone Inn, we find assorted "agendas"!  Here are a few upcoming area springtime events you might want to consider:

Greene Trails Cycling Classic
Thursday - Sunday, July 17-20, 2014

Come be a part of this annual family-oriented biking event. Centered in Greene County, Ohio, the tour utilizes the nationally recognized, award-winning rail-to-trail system and their adjacent communities, with a different trail featured each day. The event is designed to raise vital funds to support the region's extensive system of nationally-recognized paved, multi-use trails.

Ansel Adams Gallery at the Springfield Museum of Art

Feb 14-May 11, 2014

Over 72 astounding images from one of Americas earliest, classic photographers. If you love photography, put this event on your calendar and book a room at Hearthstone.  You'll be a 15-minute drive from the museum!

Don't forget that anniversary, birthday, or special occasion!  Can you get-away during the week?  While our weekends tend to book-up quite fast, there are many week-day options when nice rooms are available, the crowds are gone at most area attractions, and relaxation is at its best for your enjoyment.  Have dinner at a gourmet restaurant or bistro in the nearby Village of Yellow Springs.  Stroll through our local Indian Mound Reserve park and see the myriad clusters of wildflowers just 2 minutes from your comfortable room. Rent a bicycle-built-for-two and take in some fresh air on our fully-paved, flat bike trail.

Hurray For Spring!!!!

Well, we don't know about you, but all of our family is counting down the days until the end of this very difficult winter.  How much shoveling? Too much....  Relentless snow.... Arctic temperatures....then thunderstorms and flooding (that's one way to chase away the moles!)

Here at Hearthstone Inn & Suites we've been blessed with so many GREAT guests over the years.  The best part is that once a new guest discovers us among the myriad "franchise" national brands - they never look back.  Why stay here?  Homeiness.  Cleanliness.  Uniqueness.  We are not a "bed-and-breakfast"....neither are we an impersonal "credit card please" lodging business.  We are an independent country inn where you get the BEST elements of both! Our room rates are quite comparable to the well-known, franchise "H"-type hotels, and our taxes are SO much lower than even the 2 surrounding cities.

March brings with it the opportunity of things-to-do that the winter weather may put the damper on.  Maybe it's a BIT early to rent one of our bicycles and travel the adjacent Ohio-to-Erie Bike Path, but there were two bicycle craftsman who made a name for themselves just over a century ago: 

The WRIGHT BROTHERS hailed from nearby Dayton, where, by-the-way, the airplane REALLY made its first flights (sorry, North Carolina) - Tour their home and other Wright Brothers sites: 

AVIATION

Hawthorne Hill Wright Brothers Home

Wright "B" Flyer Home - Visit the museum - supporting members can even get a flight in it!

Dayton Aviation National Heritage Park -  Visit the Wright Cycle Company (sorry - no bikes for sale though!) 

National Museum of the United States Air Force - A REAL "eye-popper" - don't miss it when you visit our area.  NOW OPEN is the world-class exhibit of the NASA SPACE SHUTTLE TRAINER.  This is the actual orbiter hardware which was use to train the shuttle crews.  Just 30 minutes from Hearthstone!  FREE ADMISSION.  More information is HERE.

Finally - To all our IRISH friends, Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Visiting our area or checking out a college?  Give us a call or just book online.   Like our many other delighted guests.....you'll never look back!

Valentine's Day is Coming!

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, this is the perfect time for a surprise get-away to Hearthstone Inn & Suites!  Get that babysitter revved up and whisk your honey away for a break, away from the daily routine!  Plan a trek to nearby eclectic Yellow Springs for dinner, attend a dinner-theater at the acclaimed LaComedia Dinner Theater, located in Springboro (about 40 mins.),  now featuring "Ring of Fire"- the life and journey of Johnny Cash", a story of success, failure, love, loss and redemption. You can also choose from scores of delightful, specialty restaurants in the Beavercreek/Dayton areas. Check out the "Getaways" tab on our Home Page for other "romance" options!

By the way - we can place a nice basket of seasonal flowers in your room and/or a Celebration Basket with cheese, crackers, fruit, candy, and a bottle of bubbly, non-alcoholic grape or apple juice (you are welcome to provide your own supplemental alternatives as you wish).

Dads - maybe you live a distance away and have a daughter at a local college in or near Cedarville.  You know...it's been awhile since one of those "daddy-daughter dates", right?  Come to Hearthstone Inn & Suites and surprise your "little girl" with a special time out with dad!  Then have a restful night here before heading home after making more tender memories.

Call or reserve online today to book your accommodations for Valentine's "Week" at Hearthstone Inn & Suites, February 9-13.  Standard KING rooms and DELUXE JACUZZI SUITES  are available, but as the magic date approaches, they may book up! SWEETHEART SPECIAL - Additional $15 OFF Sunday through Thursday, Valentine's week with rate code VAL14.  NOTE: Guest daughter or "sweetheart" must show a receipt from an area restaurant or theater to validate this special rate for date. 

(Sorry, does not apply to prior reservations).

Winter Moves Along!/Features

Winter is moving along here in our village of Cedarville, and the snow seems to never end!  We hope that our many Hearthstone Inn friends are keeping warm and are enjoying the wonder of this season!  Our house photographer, Jonathan, is busy capturing images around our area and turning them into inspirational art with Bible verses.  Here's some of the local beauty just minutes from the hotel!

Stay with us for a GREAT night's sleep!

No Smoking or Vaping on the premises!
