A Magical Night in Chagrin Falls

There aren't many things that "wow" me in life: the birth of my children, the birth of my grandbabies, my wedding day, and oh, the recent Eclipse. However, last night's balloon glow really took my breath away.

I don't know if it was the fact that I was surrounded by hundreds of people filled with the same sense of awe, but witnessing these six balloons light up to music during the night was truly an incredible sight. It was quite magical.

The vibrant colors of the balloons illuminated the night sky, perfectly synchronized with the music, creating an atmosphere of pure enchantment. Families, friends, and strangers alike shared in the wonder, making the experience even more special. There’s something about a collective sense of amazement that heightens the magic of the moment.

Just another reason why Chagrin Falls is the best place to visit! Whether you're a local or a visitor, events like the balloon glow remind us of the unique charm and sense of community that make this village so special. If you haven’t experienced it yet, I highly recommend booking your room for Blossom Time 2025! It’s an experience you won’t want to miss.

A Serendipitous Encounter: How a Power Outage Led to a Lasting Guest

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.

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.

Throughout her stay, our guest immersed herself in the charm of Chagrin Falls, relishing the convenience of walking to and from work at The Spice & Tea Exchange.
