The property is relatively newly renovated and very well maintained, the staff especially Ruth were very very nice and helpful. I especially appreciate the historical artifacts on display in different areas of the lodge, and was reminded when I saw a picture of Washington crossing the Delaware we were there on the 247th anniversary of the Battle of Trenton. Being dog friendly, the silky gives it 4 paws up!

Property was a gem in the small town of Cedarville. The Christmas decorations were lovely.
First time at HeartStone Inn and it was wonderful! Sarah at the front desk was very sweet. The entire room was very clean, organized, and super comfy! Highly recommend staying here if you want to experience the wonderful community of Cedarville!
Great location next to the bike path. The owners are lovely people and very accommodating. This is just a great place to stay.

Thank you, Mark, for your nice review! As you now know, our independent hotel property is adjacent to the Ohio-to-Erie Trail! Just roll up to our entrance, just 20 feet from the trail, walk a few steps, and check in! We host a TON of OTET cyclists each season!Do tell some friends about us, and happy/safe cycling!
What a hidden gem! This hotel was wonderful and gad such charm and history! Well worth the drive to be in a quieter part of the area. Downtown area was so cute also. Highly recommended..owners are wonderful and so accomodating! Will stay again if i pass through the area.

Thank you, so very much, Laurie, for your nice review! We try our best to NOT be "hidden", so will you help spread the word? We are actually among the highest-ranked hotels in the region, but because we are independent, the "franchise" properties get top billing - even with their less-than-stellar ratings.We wish you safe travels and look forward to hosting you again!
Super cute place with a ton of history! Highly recommend it!

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
The artifacts were very interesting.
The bed was NOT very comfortable.
The bed upon arrival was not “made”
Up very well . The staff was very helpful.
The “good stuff” for breakfast did not last very long.

Hi annonymous! Thank you for your review!We regret that you found your bed "uncomfortable". Comfort is very subjective, of course, and we have many guests who rave at their great sleep! In fact, our beds were installed last year, and they are custom-crafted by a top-quality, Amish bedding company, right here in Ohio. Not knowing what time you came to breakfast (7:30-10 a.m.), we keep our breakfast counter constantly stocked. If something was "out", a gentle request will remedy that! It is certainly possible that there was a "rush" on something that got "wiped-out" quickly! More of anything is just a request away!Please contact us for any details about your bed so that we may address any issues with our housekeeping staff!Thanks again!
The complimentary breakfast had no eggs, no bacon, no sausage, no gravy, no pancakes, no waffles. Just a cold light breakfast. We ate elsewhere.

Hi Pete - Thank you for your review! We are just catching up from a busy summer.We are sorry that you were disappointed in our breakfast offerings, although they are presented at our official site, not on this travel agency site.Our breakfast includes eggs (hard boiled), bacon/egg/cheese croissants(heat and eat), Sausage/Egg biscuits (heat and eat), and breakfast bacon/egg/cheeses burritos. Sorry you missed seeing these! We do not do waffles or pancakes. Fresh fruit salad, muffins, bagels, cereals, juices, cinnamon rolls, custom-blended and locally roasted coffee also.In fact, unlike "franchise brands", our guests can request even an "Express Breakfast" if they are very early risers. You can have breakfast at 4 a.m. if you need, as your food selections will be waiting for you!We wish you safe travels and do hope that you will return this way again!
Nice place. Love the history and game room. Room needed dehumidifier but great coffee

Response from Stuart, Guest Services on Sep 19, 2023
Thank you, Elizabeth, for your great review! We are curious about what date or room you might have stayed in, so that we can check on the "humidity" issue you referred to. Of course, it MIGHT be related to a particular time this summer when we all experienced a LONG string of 85-95% humidity days. The room A/C unit SHOULD have managed this, but we still would like to investigate this. Guest comfort is our #1 priority. Our coffee is locally-roasted and custom-blended just for us, so we are delighted that you enjoyed it!Thanks again!
This is the cutest most quaint motel! It gives off Shitz Creek vibes in the most fun ways! I would highly recommend staying here. Clean, friendly staff and just a down home feel.
Wonderful stay, amazing service. Love the warmth and homey atmosphere! I would recommend potentially upgrading/replacing the mattresses and bedding for a 10/10 rating otherwise an excellent option.

Thank you SO very much, Anonymous, for your fabulous review! Our proximity to the local Cedarville University (90-seconds by car) is definitely a "plus" for college touring!We regret that our mattresses did not meet your comfort expectation, but we do appreciate sharing this information! Our bedding is, in fact brand-new, installed in 2022, and is all custom-hand-crafted by a high-end Amish bedding manufacturer here in Ohio. Occasionally, a guest may find a mattress too "soft" or too "firm". This is, of course, unavoidable, being a personal preference. We typically get rave reviews about the "amazing sleep" experienced by our guests! Please do not hesitate to call us directly with any specifics regarding this since there may be some issue we need to be aware of! Thanks!Safe travels!
had an absolutely wonderful experience at Hearthstone Inn & Suites and would recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was memorable, and I cannot wait to return.
I would definitely stay at this Inn and attend another event organized by this team, and I highly recommend everyone to attend the next Donnel Land.
A beautiful Inn in a small town, VERY clean and cozy. Our room was spacious and well appointed. I loved the photos on the walls, the gift shop and the civil war memorabilia. The owners and staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We LOVED this place!

Thank you Sharon, for your kind words! As you said, our location adjacent to the Ohio-to-Erie Bike Trail is a definite positive for cyclists exploring our state - from Cincinnati to Cleveland (or the OTHER way!). We wish you safe travels and do tell some friends about us!
The Hearthstone was clean, staff was very friendly and welcoming. They offered a continental breakfast that was small but great to get the day started.

Response from Stuart, Guest Services on May 28, 2023
We are so very appreciative of your nice review, Patricia! Our independent hotel is second to none when it comes to cleanliness. Our housekeepers spend 2-3 times more time cleaning rooms than the "national brands", so our guests can be assured of extremely pleasant stay. Our Expanded Continental Breakfast offers quite a few options, so we are unsure what "small" might mean, but we are certainly glad that you enjoyed your stay! Our breakfast can be seen, in detail, at our official hotel site, however this is not presented on these online agency sites. We wish you safe travels!
Ask for additional Bath towels and wash clothes did not receive. Service can be improved.

Response from Ruth on May 17, 2023
Hi Larry,I am so sorry to hear that you did not receive extra linens when you asked. We do try very hard to make sure all guests have exactly what they need and extra towels are never a problem. It would help me to deal with this and make sure we do better if you could let me know if you talked specifically to one of our staff, or if you wrote it as a request on your reservation? I will be talking to all our staff to make sure this does not happen again. Service is VERY important to us, so I do not take this lightly. Again, I am so very sorry you had this problem.Ruth
Very quaint . Staff was friendly and accommodating. Clean.

Thank you, Theresa, for your great rating of our independent hotel! Hearthstone Inn & Suites, being distinctly different from the "national brands", was designed to provide a level of comfort, cleanliness, and service far beyond the franchise-type properties. We are so thrilled that your stay was enjoyable, and we do wish you safe travels! We look forward to your return in the future!
Great inn. Felt very homey and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Very close to Cedarville University, a nice park, and walking trail. Great location.

Thank you, Kristan M, for choosing Hearthstone inn & Suites! Many of our Cedarville University visitors appreciate both our uniqueness, our high-quality rating, and proximity to the campus (90 seconds by car!). We wish you safe travels and do hope to see you back with us in the future!
Response from Stuart, Guest Services on Apr 18, 2023
Thank you, Jesse, your your great rating! We appreciate that you selected our independent hotel other than one of the the myriad "national brands". As others have experienced, smaller "boutique" lodging properties like ours can offer a much higher level of service, cleanliness, and enjoyment than do the cookie-cutter franchises.We wish you safe travels, and we do hope so see you back in the future! Do tell some friends!

The staff was friendly, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. In the future we will rebook with Hearthstone Inn.

We truly appreciate your very positive review, Carl! Particularly at the 2022 "holiday time", when you chose us as your lodging preference while visiting in our area. We are just 90 seconds from Cedarville University, and just 5 minutes away from the Historic Clifton Mill "Legendary Lights" holiday spectacular! We wish you safe travels, and please do tell some friends about us!
We were here for a one night stay. We came to see Christmas lights at the Historic Clifton Mill. The Inn is amazing, super clean, beautifully decorated. The staff is exceptional in making sure you feel comfortable. Great place to stay!!

Thank you, Pamela, for your very nice review! After the recent difficult times we have all traveled through, it is great to see couples and families again traveling and making memories! We are just 5 minutes from the astounding Christmas lights at Clifton Mill, so convenience is truly paired with relaxation and comfort in our highly-acclaimed country inn hotel! We wish you safe travels, and please do tell your friends about us, especially during the holiday season when we are all "spruced up" with Christmas decor and a fresh, 14-foot Christmas tree in our fireplace lobby!

Hi Jack:Thank you for choosing to stay at Hearthstone Inn & Suites! Having reviewed your concerns (during your visit) about added "fees", over which we have no control (such as county occupancy taxes or online agency upcharges), it appeared that you stated that you otherwise had a nice, but short stay with us. As can be clearly seen, the overwhelming majority of guest reviews are typically 5-star. This has placed us, routinely, at the top rank of area hotels.We invite you to contact us directly to clarify the areas which you found disappointing, as we have guest satisfaction as our daily focus. It appears that these were not communicated to us during your stay.Safe Travels!
Everything was very clean; the staff were wonderful even calling me back to see if our dog was coming with us prior to the trip! You can definitely tell they take pride in their business.

Thank you, tina, for your nice review! We certainly do take pride in our exceptional cleanliness and friendly staff! Since we have specific rooms for pets, we also like to make sure that if a guest needs a non-pet room, that we have these available. Making sure all our guests are comfortable and happy is job #1.We wish you safe travels, and please do tell your friends about us!
The concierge was so welcoming and accommodating. We had everything we needed. The lobby provided a great place for guests from several rooms to gather.

Thank you, Rachel, for awarding us a 10/10! We are always seeking to provide a lodging experience that FAR exceeds the "national brands". Our proximity to Cedarville University (90 secs), the Historic Clifton Mill (5 mins) and the Village of Yellow Springs (10 mins) are also definite benefits for our guests! Cyclists on the adjacent Ohio-To-Erie bike trail love stepping off their bikes... and walking right into our lobby - which EVERYONE enjoys, especially with the fireplace on!Safe travels, and please do tell some friends about us!
I enjoyed the displays in the public areas that featured information on the history of the vicinity's past.
The staff was very accommodating and friendly. There was nothing I didn't like about my stay!

Of course, we also sit astride the Ohio to Erie Bike Trail, so cyclists just dismount and walk in! Safe travels to you!
Well maintained older property. You can tell it was not built with cheap materials. The mattress could’ve been better but that’s probably my pickiness as I age

Hi James! Thank you for the 5-star review. You are correct that we were built with best-quality materials! We built in 2001 and we have maintained our high-ratings ever since. You might be surprised to know that all our bedding is all custom-crafted, Amish built, right here in Ohio. All mattresses are brand new, having been installed during the last year. Mattress comfort is very much an individual thing, and some guests have even inquired where to buy these because they slept so well! We wish you safe travels!
Nice and quiet location and town.
Clean with friendly staff.
Mexican restaurant across the street and breakfast provided in the morning.
Bike path close by.
