Located 4 miles west of the historic center, this property is 30 minutes east of Cleveland in the Western Reserve, an area resembling a quaint corner of New England. This is a refined and expensive inn on 1,000 acres within a smart housing development that includes a country club. It is one of Ohio's most fashionable and romantic addresses, a blend of farmhouse charm and chic contemporary style.
The public rooms in this neoclassic inn are decorated in soothing neutral shades accented with bold color spots and lots of natural woods. Window-walls bring in natural light and views of the adjacent 175-year-old barn. The fine furnishings in the library and lounge,
which overlooks the indoor equestrian ring, simulate the warmth and comfort of a home. Breakfast is in the attractive, bi-level Blue Ribbon Cafe. Two independent restaurants serve lunch and dinner, the Barn for fine dining and the Club House for something more casual. Afternoon tea, complimentary evening snacks and 24-hour room service are also available.
A basic fitness room with free weights and treadmills is on-site, an outdoor pool, tennis courts and a golf course are at the country club, and riding is at the adjacent stables. Some spa services are offered in guests' rooms. Businesses have discovered that meetings and seminars benefit 
from the seclusion and lavish facilities here. The Pyramid Room, often used for meetings, is memorable for its distinctive cedar corbelled ceilings. The inn's white-glove treatment, five meeting rooms, an executive boardroom, and a theater for 100 are an irresistible combination.
All 25 suites are luxuriously appointed and decorated with exceptional taste and an eye for detail. They include sitting areas with gas fireplaces, custom tables and chairs, desks, artful lighting and arty light fixtures, TVs with VCRs, two phones, minibars, coffeemakers, king beds with Italian linens and roomy dressing areas. The baths are fitted with slate showers for two. Terraces or balconies come with peaceful pastoral views. Surprising touches include digital music channels, high-speed Internet access, and sophisticated phone systems that control the lights. Glass-enclosed pergolas connect the buildings. Five suites in a separate building near the country club overlook the golf course.
Turndown service arrives nightly. All rooms are smoke-free. Groups love the intimacy and high-quality offerings here. The obliging concierge and staff see to guests' wishes quickly and efficiently at this home away from home.
