    Looking for the right B&B in Historic Zoar. I was wondering Is this place the right B&B in Zoar? Trust me when I say that it is. Zoar is such a treat. It's a beautifully tucked away historic village. The kind we once read about in novels. It offers the peace and tranquility our modern lives so often deprive us of. Gayle and her husband are icing on the cake of this picturesque B&B. The food was only bested by the innkeepers themselves. The room was delightful down to the nuanced details. Your search ends here for a romantic getaway.

    What a place! I am a true believer in "life is in the details" and believe me, this bed and breakfast does it all! On a scale of one to ten...we'd give it a TEN+! Gayle and Joe are incredible hosts. The place is super clean and the breakfast was out of this world!

    Recent Stay at fabulous B&B!

    May 07, 2013

    We recently planned a stay in a little town in central Ohio called Zoar. This gem is a quaint little village from yesteryear off the beaten path. The Zoar School Inn was the perfect B&B to pair with our trip. The furnishings are wonderful, the rooms were immaculate and very spacious. We had our very own bath and lots of space. Our hosts, Gayle and Joe, were delightful and the breakfast was fabulous in the morning. A 4-course breakfast presented with all the class of a 5-star restaurant! Highly recommend a stay here. Sure to be pleased.

    Fabulous getaway!!

    May 06, 2013

    We stayed with Gayle and Joe in April 2013 and had a great visit. They've done incredible things with the house to make it a comfortable and quiet getaway. I'm vegan, and Gayle went out of her way to be sure she made a breakfast that I could eat. And boy, did she! We will definitely be going back.

    April 05, 2013

    We stayed here in 2009 when Joe and Gayle first opened and couldn't wait to come back. We were shocked to see the back porch and other new additions to their property. It was an absolute joy to stay with them then and this time was even better! They added a coffee machine upstairs and a good size dvd assortment. Breakfast was delicious! We plan to come back in the summer or fall and enjoy warm weather here. WONDERFUL!

    Wife gets treated like royalty at Zoar School Inn B&B

    March 23, 2013

    My wife is going through stage 3 cancer and recently had a mastectomy. She was reluctant, after healing a month and a half, to go anywhere. In desperation, I wanted some place close to home and looked through the Internet and found Zoar School Inn and at the last minute called and spoke to Gayle, who got me the arrangement I needed for a quick one-night stay. It was everything a doctor could order to lift my wife's spirits! We even got in-room, one-hour therapeutic massages. Our breakfast was five-star! I don't know how I can EVER thank Gayle and Joe Potelicki for an important step in my wife's healing process!

    GRANDMA RUTH'S EGGS À LA GOLDENROD
    My grandma Ruth made us a special treat for holidays. Eggs A'La Goldenrod. A family and friend favorite for years. The oldest recipe that I have found was 1896. A warm comfort food that is a satisfying start to the day. We offer many delicious dishes from our Peaches and Cream Stuffed Brioche French toast to our Quiche Lorraine, Homemade Granola Fresh Berry Parfaits and of course our Eggs McKinley!. You won't need lunch!
