"I drove 565 miles from Carrboro, NC to take my daughter to Oberlin college and was in dire need of a rest after 10 hours on the highway. Bleary-eyed, I pulled up to Hallauer house at 6:00pm and was kindly greeted by Joe who offered a relaxing tour of the garden before showing us to our perfectly cozy room for two. After a brief rest and a cup of coffee from the lobby, I headed out for a 4-mile run “around the block” on the lovely country roads at sunset ... finishing up with a refreshing dip in the pool. My daughter and I ran again the next morning (around the reservoir this time) to work up an appetite for a spectacularly delicious breakfast prepared by charming Susan. I now know I have a home away from home every time I visit my daughter at Oberlin. I am grateful this place exists; thank you Joe and Susan ... see you soon :)"
