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!
