In the hospitality industry, serendipitous encounters often lead to remarkable outcomes. Such was the case when a guest, seeking refuge from a power outage during a stay at another hotel, stumbled upon the Inn of Chagrin.

Our guest, the CFO of The Spice & Tea Exchange, was in need of accommodation for three nights due to an unexpected blackout at her previous lodging. Grateful for our availability and uninterrupted power supply, she swiftly made her way to our inn.
Upon her arrival, we welcomed her warmly and inquired about her visit to Chagrin Falls, Ohio.

As she finished her comments, guided her to our study, we unveiled our collection of loose teas sourced from, you guessed it, The Spice & Tea Exchange. As she surveyed the selection, a smile spread across her face, and she remarked, "It only makes sense that I stay here from now on." In that moment, a bond was formed, rooted in mutual appreciation for quality hospitality and locally sourced delights.

Witnessing the Solar Eclipse at the Inn of Chagrin
A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience: Witnessing the Solar Eclipse in Chagrin Falls
At the Inn of Chagrin, we had the privilege of being part of an extraordinary event that brought people from all over the country to our little town of Chagrin Falls, Ohio. It all began when we realized the magnitude of the solar eclipse scheduled for April 8, 2024.
In March 2023, the excitement started building as reservations poured in from eager travelers wanting to witness the eclipse from our charming town. As the date approached, we prepared special treats for our guests, including "Moonmosa" breakfasts, Eclipse gum, and personalized glasses in each room.
On the day of the eclipse, I found myself standing in Riverside Park, surrounded by people from all walks of life, all gathered to witness this awe-inspiring phenomenon. The sight of the moon passing in front of the sun took my breath away, and I knew then why so many had chosen to come here.
I had the chance to chat with some of our guests about why they had chosen Chagrin Falls and the Inn of Chagrin for this special occasion. The Delaneys traveled all the way from Irvine, California, to experience it with their son, making plans to return multiple times. Peter, meanwhile, enjoyed the eclipse while fishing for steelhead, appreciating Chagrin Falls' small-town charm and proximity to outdoor activities. We had several guests in from Michigan and California, plus North Carolina and Pennsylvania.
Each guest had their own reason for visiting, but we all shared in the same incredible moment. It reminded me of the magic that can happen when people come together to witness something truly extraordinary. We feel blessed that so many chose to share this experience with us at the Inn of Chagrin.
