Herb Garden School of Cooking and B&B

We were looking for a place to stay that was close to family in Jefferson and found the Herb Garden. Chris and Paul went out of their way to make us welcome and comfortable. They went beyond our expectations when Chris offered to make us dinner after our late arrival! Breakfast each morning was outstanding and incredibly creative. What a wonderful experience!

The host and hostess were personable and supplied a lot of information about the wonderful area we were visiting. The dinner cooking demonstration was very good and the meal was delicious.

Chris, Paul, Amelia (the cat) were wonderful to stay with. I felt very much at home. The food was excellent, and the conversations stimulating. I would definitely stay there again if I was in the area:) Bonnie Savageau

We not only enjoyed our stay but feel like we have made new friends. We will visit again! Gordon and Sherryl Laing

I chose this inn because of its proximity to the Western Reserve Greenway bike trail and all the wineries in the Geneva/Madison area. When we arrived we were warmly welcomed by our hosts Paul and Chris Martello. The home itself is lovely and well-kept, with a spacious guest room and private bath. The wrap-around porch looks out over flowerbeds and a peaceful yard. Learning about Chris's cooking school makes for such interesting conversation, and the fact that she and Paul also enjoy cycling was such a bonus! They even offer guests pick-up and drop-off service if they plan to ride the bike trail. Breakfast was wonderful, from the first cup of coffee on the porch to the fresh fruit salad, frittata, toast and bacon. Eggs were fresh from chickens on the adjoining property and even the bacon was "homegrown!" I can't emphasize enough how very friendly and accommodating the Martellos are. They truly made us feel like old friends.

The hosts were so hospitable, we felt like we were staying with friends or family. Lovely home with wonderful outdoor spaces. Delicious meal!

Beds were comfortable Love the porches Great host and hostess Food was wonderful. Never ate so healthy in my life. We will be back.

We truly enjoyed our weekend stay with Chris and Paul. We took advantage of the cooking class offered by Chris and Paul, wonderful food and company. The rooms were nice, within a few miles of bike trails which we took advantage of and an easy drive to the local wineries. We would certainly stay again, maybe even get a ride in Paul's sweet 1949 Chevy pickup. John/Mary

The house, especially the bedroom that we used, was beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our personal visit while being treated to an exquisitely prepared delicious breakfast. The friendly and homey atmosphere beats any motel that we ever stayed in, and we look forward to staying with you the next time we find ourselves in NE Ohio.
