Shop Local this Holiday Season

Amazon is easy, it's convenient, it's quick. But I challenge everybody this holiday season to shop local.

These are our neighbors.

The purchase you make at Hedges or Shed or the Popcorn Shop truly supports people that live in this community.

And without these owners and shops and all of our support, then this magical place that is Chagrin Falls, wouldn’t be.

So let's return that love, especially during the holidays.

Visit in January too

It's a magical experience here and there's never a bad season to stay and play in Chagrin.

They keep the lights up two weeks after the holidays so I always tell people, especially here at the inn because we're pretty booked in December, to come visit then too.

The lights are still up, the shops are still open, our Christmas room is open at the Inn, and you can enjoy the town for YOU. You don't have that hustle and bustle, or worry about shopping or buying for others, the shopping can be solely for you.

There's never a bad time to come here.
