Whether it’s in a brick and mortar store or online, the struggle is real when you’re looking for that perfect gift for the “hard to buy for” individual. For work colleagues the challenge may be trying to insure it’s not too personal. For family, how do you keep your gift from being “re-gifted” at a later date? And with your close friends—what to do about that person that says they really have everything they need–but yet you want to give them something special. [![Green Pine tree decorated with red, white and silver ornaments and red and silver wrapped packages under the tree](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/christmas-1.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/christmas-1.jpg)The answer may just be in the “non-traditional” gift, by giving them an “experience”. Yes, that’s right—something they can enjoy with a significant other (or by themselves if they prefer) that will provide a memory that will outlast that scarf, book, shirt or bath basket. While everything about the traditional gift is perfectly fine, sometimes you want or need to step up your game. And that’s where Weller Haus Bed, Breakfast & Event Center’s Buy One Get One FREE gift certificate offer can help you out. Not only will you be giving something very special, but you will end up with a second gift as well–whether you choose to keep it for yourself or pass it on to someone else.

New trends appear and old one’s disappear. But the one that is really important, will never disappear and is often overlooked in planning is where the bride and her support team will be getting ready on the wedding day. The last thing you want to be doing two weeks before the big day is stressing about where you and your bridesmaids will be getting beautified and dressed. The family home may be too chaotic and not large enough. A hotel suite –unless it’s a multiple room suite–generally contains too much furniture and might have two mirrors at best. The Church basement isn’t going to cut it on this day and some Wedding Venues just don’t have the space.[![Bride with long blond hair and white headpiece having make up applied for wedding day](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/Bride-getting-ready-2.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/Bride-getting-ready-2.jpg) We get so many inquiries from brides about using an overnight guest room for wedding day preparation. This situation rarely works because of the sheer numbers and our check-in and check-out times. It typically requires renting the room for two nights and we cannot accommodate more than 2 bridesmaids along with the bride. By the time you add hair and make-up personnel, flower girl(s) and the mother of the bride–it’s downright crowded even in our largest suite and not so much fun! [![6 bridesmaid women dressed in pink helping bride get dressed](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/Bride-getting-ready3.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/Bride-getting-ready3.jpg) The Weller Haus solution is to rent our Event Venue for the day. We have 1800 square feet of space among three separate rooms for you to spread out. Our largest room, where we can set up 5ft. round tables, will easily accommodate the largest bridal party along with your hair and make-up team. Our attached kitchen/bar area provides a space to stock cold beverages and set up food stations for the day. This area is completely out of the way of where you will be dressing-so no chance of spillage! Our upstairs lounge lets you take a quiet moment to breathe–or even catch a snooze if needed–and store everyone’s bags out of the way. And along with all of this indoor space there’s our relaxing garden and water features outdoors. What a better way to chill out than sitting on the pavillion, listening to your favorite playlist along with the sounds of nature and waterfalls. Our Getting Ready Day Package ($495 plus tax) includes the following: - Use of Event Center and Outdoor Gardens starting at 8 am - Stay until you leave for your Wedding - TV’s in all three rooms of the Event Center - Sound system for getting the party started - Wall hooks for hanging wedding attire along with additional hangers - Garment Steamer - Up to 12 “Getting Ready Day” robes for use while on premises. - Complimentary fruit and veggie trays as well as bottled water - Use of our outdoor gardens for Pre-Wedding/First Look Pictures. There is normally a $250 fee for photography on site. However, this is waived with a signed contract/agreement to provide Weller Haus with 10 high quality photo downloads along with permission to use them on our website and social media.

You want to be comfortable, have an abundance of space and beautiful surroundings. Weller Haus Bed, Breakfast & Event Center offers all of this and more to brides on their Getting Ready Day. **Categories:** Getting Dressed for your Wedding Day locations, Getting Ready Wedding Day Preparation, Getting Ready Wedding Day Venues, Outdoor Garden Wedding Day, Outdoor Wedding Venues, Wedding Packages, Wedding Reception Venues, Wedding Venues, Weddings **Tags:** bridesmaid dressing location, getting ready day location, getting ready location near cincinnati, getting ready on your wedding day venue near cincinnati, getting ready venues in bellevue ky, getting ready venues in covington ky, getting ready venues in newport ky, wedding venues for dressing, weddings --- ### [Weller Haus Bed & Breakfast Launches Luxury Trips To The Kentucky Bourbon Trail and Keeneland Racetrack--January 8, 2020](https://www.wellerhaus.com/blog/2020/01/weller-haus-bed-breakfast-launches-luxury-trips-to-the-kentucky-bourbon-trail-and-keeneland-racetrack-january-8-2020.htm) **Published:** January 8, 2020 **Author:** admin **Content:** [![Inside of a luxury limousine with gray bench seats and two captains chair seats](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/MercedesTravelVan-2.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/MercedesTravelVan-2.jpg)[Weller Haus Bed, Breakfast & Event Center](https://www.wellerhaus.com/) (dba [Bourbon, Beer and Beyond Tours](https://www.wellerhaus.com/the-mercedes-super-sprinter-limousine.htm)) is now offering pre-set [Kentucky Bourbon Trail](https://kybourbontrail.com/) trips to multiple distillery destinations for the months of February and March.

Whether the travel is local, national or international, I think you need a “list within the list”. No matter your destination, there’s going to be highlights that you want to be sure to include wherever you travel. Well, I’m here to help you with that “list within a list” for the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area. It’s more broad than specific, but if your timeline allows, pick at least one place within these “definitely Cincinnati” categories to get a true feel for the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area. ***FOOD!*** — True foodies will be in heaven in this area. Cincinnati is now a TOP TEN foodie destination. Chili, Goetta, Ice Cream and Pizza are just a few of the things you should check out. Whether it’s [Dixie](https://www.dixiechili.com/), [Blue Ash](http://blueashchili.com/), [Goldstar](https://www.goldstarchili.com) or [Skyline Chili,](https://www.skylinechili.com/) [Greater’s](https://www.graeters.com/) or [Schneider’s](http://schneiderscandies.com/) ice cream or [Dojo Gelato](https://dojogelato.com/),[ A Tavola](http://www.atavolapizza.com/), [Strong’s](https://strongsbrickovenpizza.com/), [Via Vite](https://viaviterestaurant.com/) or[ Newport Pizza](https://www.newportpizzacompany.com/) Company–you’ll have a tough time figuring out your favorite. And let’s not forget the entire restaurant scene with all of the locally owned options—hundreds of them.[![Three slices of pizza with red tomatoes and green arugula](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/Pizza.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/Pizza.jpg) ***FESTIVALS!–***Cincinnati loves celebrating and there is a festival dedicated for anything you can imagine. Whether it’s food, bourbon, beer, comedy, theatre, art, films or holidays festivals, there is at least a festival a month–and in the summer, this area explodes with festivals.

Every genre of artist shows up at least once a year–jazz, rock, country, blues, hip hop, heavy metal, bluegrass, pop, hip hop–and can be found at one of our many venues. From big stadium productions, to outdoor river venues and intimate indoor settings, you’ll find both nationally renowned artists and hometown performers. Some of this year’s acts include Carrie Underwood, Celine Dion, Josh Groban, Luke Bryant, multiple artists at Macy’s Music Festival, Bunbury Festival, [Summit Country Music Fest](http://blueashevents.com/summitfest_information/index.php), and of course, for all parrotheads, Jimmy Buffet.

And while I may be a little biased about the excursion, it was definitely a fun-filled AND educational day. There were 10 of us taking the tour on this “girls only” day-trip that found us cruising in style to [Buffalo](http://www.buffalotracedistillery.com) [Trace](http://www.buffalotracedistillery.com), [Woodford Reserve](http://www.woodfordreserve.com) and [Boone County](http://www.boonedistilling.com) Distilleries.[![Silver van with dark tinted windows](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/van-red.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/van-red.jpg) We wanted to experience what we’re gong to be offering customers–including checking out up to three distilleries–both large and small–shopping in gift shops, tastings, lunch, socializing along the way and a stop to buy lottery tickets (all losers)! We found the van offers the perfect setup for hanging out and conversing with friends. With two bench seats (facing each other) seating three on each side and two swivel captain’s chairs, conversation flowed easily. On board usb chargers, satellite and apple tv, a bluetooth enabled music system, fridge/microwave and restroom made it feel more like a luxury RV ride than a van. Stocked with water, soft drinks, adult beverages and snacks, we were ready to roll. And no, the driver did not drink. [![Plate with three sets of green lettuce filled with red peppers, orange carrots and green celery tied with string](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/lunch-redu.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/lunch-redu.jpg) Each distillery was unique in it’s own way. [Buffalo Trace](http://www.buffalotracedistillery.com), by far the largest, has an interesting history and beautiful grounds. I would have preferred to spend more time exploring the gardens, but a tight time schedule and rainy day prevented that from happening. They have a great gift shop and we managed to pick up bottles of bourbon that are rarely found in stores. I’m not a bourbon drinker but was quite delighted with the Bourbon Creme & Root Beer mix we were offered. However, it’s like Bailey’s–one of those things that taste great going down, but you don’t want to pound one after another.[![Garden with a grey buffalo statue within orange flowers and tall green grasses sitting in front of a red brick building](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/btrace-red.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/btrace-red.jpg) [![Three story red brick building with 31 tall windows trimmed in aqua displaying wooden barrels through the window](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/btrace2-red.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/btrace2-red.jpg) Our next stop was [Woodford](http://www.woodfordreserve.com) [Reserve](http://www.woodfordreserve.com), just a short 23 minute drive through beautiful horse country. While it was smaller than Buffalo Trace, the place was jammed with people, one tour after another. Buffalo Trace was just as busy but I think the expansive grounds made it feel less congested. Woodford offers an on-site lunch spot with sandwiches and snacks as well as a gift shop. We were able to view some of the bourbon processes that we didn’t get to see at Trace and I think their tasting session was a little more educational than the Trace tasting.[![Large copper bottle shaped tank sitting on a wood floor in front of brick wall that says "Woodford Reserve"](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/woodford-red.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/woodford-red.jpg) [![Three glasses half full of amber bourbon sitting on a wooden rectangular plate](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/woodford-red-1.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/woodford-red-1.jpg) We hit the road back north while enjoying a few cocktails along the way to our next stop, [Boone County Distillery.](http://www.boonecountydistilling.com) This is a small, family owned distillery located in a warehouse district. This distillery consists of two buildings–one for distilling and one for barrel storage. The Boone County Distillery tour felt a little more personal than the larger locations, but was just as informative. At each stop we managed to learn a few more details we hadn’t heard previously. It was an interesting comparison between the automated bottling, labeling and packaging at the larger locations versus this where the owner has been seen hand bottling, labeling and packing.[![24 wood barrells stamped with "Boone County Distilling" sitting on red racks](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/bc-red-2.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/bc-red-2.jpg) [![Six bottles of bourbon--amber colored liquid with the name Boone County Bourbon Whiskey](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/bc-red.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/bc-red.jpg) It was a long day–we left at 8:45 am and returned by to [Weller Haus](http://www.wellerhaus.com) by 6 pm. We plan on making another trip so we can check out [Maker’s Mark](http://www.makersmark.com), [Heaven Hill,](http://www.heavenhill.com) [Wild Turkey](http://www.wildturkeybourbon.com), [Castle and Key,](http://www.castleandkey.com) [Angel’s Envy](http://www.angelsenvy.com) and [Jim Beam](http://www.jimbeam.com)–but definitely not all in one day! Our recommendation for these trips is two distilleries on the southern portion of the tour if you don’t want to feel rushed and prefer a shorter day. But hey, it’s your trip—we’ll design it according to your request.

We’ve run across quite a few of them in our walks throughout Bellevue and in fact found one randomly placed in our potted plants recently. They range from the simplicity of a quote, a whimsical drawing or something-over-the top and really artistic. Whatever they look like, the purpose is to brighten the day of the person that randomly finds one while going about their daily business. [![Several small rocks painted with eyes and mouth attending a "rock concert"](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/rocks-634595_1920.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/rocks-634595_1920.jpg) The movement was started by a young woman in her 20’s, Megan Murphy–who had lost her parents–and took solace in walking along the beach looking for sea glass (reminded her of her Mom) and heart shaped rocks (reminded her of her Dad). It turns out that she ran across many people doing the same thing–looking for something from the Universe. One day she wrote inspirational quotes on five rocks and left them at various places along the beach. Just so happens that one of her friends found one–not knowing it was from her friend–she snapped a photo and sent it to Megan. The quote was something that Megan’s friend needed to see at the moment. When Megan realized the coincidence of her rock being found by a friend, she decided it meant that something needed to be done to spread hope and kindness–thus the Kindness Rocks Project was born. [![Rock painted with blue sky and ocean and red and white sailboat](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/paint-1167786_1920.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/paint-1167786_1920.jpg) And here’s where we need our guests to help us “paint our gardens”. Our landscaping is full of river rocks–the perfect rock for painting! We have all sizes and we want you to paint one while you’re here. Can you imagine what our gardens will look like with hundreds of these gems peeking out from spaces, under bushes, near the pond, by the bridge? I think it will look so cool! [![Brown, tan, and white rocks in a garden with pink potted flowers](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/yard-rocks.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/yard-rocks.jpg) You’ll be leaving something here to share with our other guests visiting the property. So many of you have left your two pennies here as a symbol of a celebration of a special event in your life….we have found them everywhere! And when we placed adult coloring books in the rooms, we could see that our guests were full of creativity. Now, we’re asking once again for you to share your talents. We will provide you with paint and brushes…you just have to pick out the rock, make it yours and leave it with us to place outside. Whether you paint stripes, ladybugs, flowers or paint an inspirational quote, we want your artwork added to our gardens. And the next time you’re here you can look for it and see what everyone else has contributed. You don’t have to be an artist and your rock doesn’t have to be perfect…you just have to want to spread a little kindness and joy!

The announcement that a new $40 million indoor/outdoor concert is being built by national concert promoter AEG & [PROMOWEST](https://promowestlive.com/columbus) based in Columbus, OH. Being billed as a “world-class, best in the country, premiere facility”, the venue will be within walking distance of [Weller Haus Bed, Breakfast & Event Center](https://wellerhaus.com). With 38,000 square feet of indoor space seating 2800 people and an outdoor amphitheater that will seat 7000 on up to one acre of land, the facility is being built on top of a parking garage capable of holding 550 cars. The backdrop of the Cincinnati skyline, the Ohio River and the Reds & Bengals stadiums will set a beautiful scene for the new development. Future expansion on the [Ovation](http://www.northernkentuckyusa.com/wp-content/uploads/Ovation.pdf) land site will include a hotel (stay with us!) retail shops, restaurants, residential apartments as well as a new pedestrian bridge. The facility is literally two blocks to the west of Newport on the Levee and the Aquarium–and that Levee is also going to be undergoing a massive renovation in the next two years. So we have a LOT going on here……just more reasons to visit. [![Bright tan building with shiny glass windows, bright lights and people standing in front of a stage](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/concert-venue-2.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/concert-venue-2.jpg) Groundbreaking is taking place almost immediately with the first concert expected in late 2020. The concert promoters expect to hold at least 180 concerts per year with about 30 of them slated to be outdoor events. What a great boost for the area’s economy and a nice addition to all of the current concert venues in the area.

While the summer is always in full swing with every type of genre rolling through town–not to mention a couple of huge music festivals–you can probably find at least one concert meeting your music preference during the year. The variety of musical artists performing in Cincinnati is supported by the uniqueness of every venue where performances are held. The outdoor venues at Riverbend become home to some of the biggest national country acts–often times with multiple performers at each event along with a headliner. Bogart’s, Taft Theatre, Jack Casino, US Bank Arena and Cincinnati Memorial Hall host both regional and nationally recognized voices while venues like Ludlow Garage and Thompson house welcome local and regional musicians. Here’s a small sampling of what’s coming to the Cincinnati music scene through July 31–and this isn’t even half of what’s planned.

Whether you’re planning for a wedding shower, a rehearsal dinner, the reception or the actual wedding, there are multiple decisions that go into coordinating any of these wedding-related events. Deciding where to hold your function is often driven by the number of guests invited and budget considerations. [![](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_8429r-web.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_8429r-web.jpg) With an average wedding size of 135 guests and costs of over $33,000, many couples are electing to downsize their wedding and go for something a little less formal. Couples are planning more intimate weddings and searching for unique venues including historic buildings, farms, barns, outdoor parks and gardens. [![Patio with 25 white chairs, green small bushes and pink roses](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/gardens-4.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/gardens-4.jpg) And, this is where Weller Haus Bed, Breakfast & Event Center should be a top consideration for smaller weddings where a unique venue is desired.

We’ve got a great way to start it off–with a visit to the 35th annual Cincinnati Zoo Festival of Lights “Wild Wonderland” display. [![Christmas tree at night lit with red blue and green lights](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/festival-of-lightsa.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/festival-of-lightsa.jpg)Photo provided by Cincinnati Zoo Voted the #1 Zoo lights display in the nation by USA Today, this has become the best attraction around for holiday lights. Over 3 million LED lights are up this year along with 19 new larger-than-life animal lanterns. A 15 x 17 ft. digital light plays continuous holiday movies and you can create your own display using the giant Light Bright. And of course, the lake is surrounded by numerous light displays. [![Lighted tunnel with red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple tiny lights](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/zoo-lights-3.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/zoo-lights-3.jpg)Photo provided by Cincinnati Zoo At historic Vine Village you will find a 35 ft. tall tree wrapped in more than 20,000 lights–be sure to make this a stopping point for that family photo opportunity. And while you’re out and about be sure to snack on seasonal goodies like fresh baked cookies, caramel apples, funnel cake, hot pretzels and roasted nuts. You can also pick up a S’more pack and roast marshmallows on an open fire.

All tables and chairs are included with the rental of the space as well. We provide the option of setting up the day before your event (provided venue is not booked) at no additional cost.

They just put out their first batch of bourbon and celebrated by having the World’s Largest Bourbon Toast on the Purple People Bridge in July.[![Three bottles of bourbon, varying heights, in front of a fall pumpkin and berry display](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/sidebar-itineraries-2.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/sidebar-itineraries-2.jpg) New Riff, along with Boone County Distilling Company and The Old Pogue Distillery, four restaurants and five bourbon bars are all considered “sipping points” on Northern Kentucky’s “B-Line”.

Just the mere thought of the idea sends your acrophobic self into panic mode. I don’t like heights–never have, but there are some things I’ll consider doing–and the new SkyStar Wheel at the Banks is one of them. The Wheel is a temporary structure that’s been set up near the National Underground Freedom Center to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Banks. At it’s highest point, it is 150ft–not too bad considering you’re actually riding in one of 36 enclosed, climate-controlled Gondolas–and that certainly seems tolerable. The gondolas offer a relatively[![large white ferris wheel with gondolas attached](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/skystar-2.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/skystar-2.jpg) private experience–seating only 6 people each–and you’re not paired with strangers. The ride goes through four rotations and is completed in about 12 minutes. With over one million LED lights, the SkyStar Wheel is the largest mobile observation wheel in the US. You’re sure to see some unique views of downtown Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky and the Ohio River on any given day–and you’ll be able to get a completely different view of Oktoberfest Zinzinnati and tailgating at the Bengals games. [![Gondola cars that are white and have glass on four sides sitting next to black fence](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/Gondola.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/Gondola.jpg)If you’re going, the cost is $12.50 per person and the SkyStar wheel operates seven days per week through December 2.

If you’re not from this area or haven’t visited much, then you probably aren’t familiar with the pork-based food. I’m not going to pretend to know much about it other than it’s a combination of pork, steel-cut/pin oats and spices–and I may not even be correct about that. Not being native to the Cincinnati area, I had never tried it and the description of it just didn’t appeal to me. We don’t have it on our menu here….as I’m not sure how many Goetta fans there really are, but I did have a customer make it for me one morning. I was pleasantly surprised that it was ok and liked the appeal of the crunch as it was fried up nice and crispy. Apparently there are several ways of preparing it and that will be shown in full force this coming weekend. [![Purple bridge spanning a river with sidewalks set up with red and white tents and people mingling](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/goetta.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/goetta.jpg)Goetta Fest at Newport on the Levee At Goetta Fest, it’s not just a case of turning it into a cheeseburger or placing it on top of pizza. The participating chefs/restaurants/businesses get down right creative in their offerings turning this sausage product into dessert as well. Some of the many savory offerings available for purchase and made with Goetta include: Burritos, Fried Rice, Mac N Cheese, tater tots, tamales, cheese fries, philly cheesesteak and reuben sandwiches. Look for “desserts” to include the likes of brownies, cheesecake, funnel cakes and donut sandwiches to name a few. [![White plate with three pieces of fried sausage on the plate](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/goetta2.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/goetta2.jpg)Fried Goetta patties But, this festival is not just about the food. There is a huge line up of bands (19 to be exact) performing on two different stages–the Top Golf Stage and the Goetta Stage. As the event starts Thursday night, so does the entertainment which continues throughout the day and evening up through the end of the festival on Sunday night. So bring your appetite, your dancing shoes and your wallet. The festivities start on Thursday, August 2 at 5 pm and go until 10 pm on Sunday, August 5.

Then take some time and head on over to the Museum Terminal–and bring your kids too–for the museum’s “Mission Aerospace” exhibit. This is an interactive experience that caters to all ages from young children to seniors. [![Tan brick building, semi-circular in nature, light at night with 6 post lights and large round lit clock on the front.](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/sidebar-arts-2-reduced.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/sidebar-arts-2-reduced.jpg) An aeronautics-themed interactive exhibit will guide you through completing over a dozen puzzles and experiments as you wander through the 4000 sq. ft. maze filled with educational materials.[![Standing metal enclosures with blue and black sign on front that says History of Flight](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/missionaerospace1-e1532461037560.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/missionaerospace1-e1532461037560.jpg) You’ll be able to build your own rockets and advanced paper airplanes. Once completed, you can head over to the target area and test your creations–how far will it go and how does it perform? Will your rocket be able to make it to one of our other solar system planets such as Saturn….or will it land in Seattle? Make a few modifications on your plane and test it again–can you make it sophisticated enough to be able to perform aerial stunts such as loops or barrel rolls? [![Grey sign that says Paper Airplanes Make them Here sitting on a wooden table](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/paper-airplanes-2.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/paper-airplanes-2.jpg)Experimenting with a more advanced model airplane, you are able to learn about thrust, lift and control by flying the plane through a miniature wind tunnel. Once you’ve mastered these skills, you’ll go to a fighter jet simulator in the Ace Academy and test those skills with your body and use a motion sensing camera to pilot a WW1-era plane. For history buffs, there is the opportunity to explore the history of rocket science and aviation including fighter jets from WWI and WWII helicopters as well as the F-22 Raptor and American fighter jets. [![Silver F-22 Raptor Military plane flying in blue skies](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/f22.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/f22.jpg)It’s a fun and educational family-oriented activity and the price is right. If you’re a museum member, tickets are free. For non-members, ticket prices are: Toddlers–$5.50; Children to age 12–$8.50; Seniors–$9.50 and adults $10.50. The exhibit runs until August 9th.

Have you been on a Cincinnati FOOD TOUR?-July 23, 2018](https://www.wellerhaus.com/blog/2018/07/are-you-a-foodie-have-you-been-on-a-cincinnati-food-tour-july-23-2018.htm) **Published:** July 24, 2018 **Author:** admin **Content:** If you’re a foodie and haven’t been to Cincinnati recently, then you are truly missing out. Our area has become a mecca in the Midwest for food lovers. Between Findlay Market, the Over-the-Rhine revitalization, all the changes to downtown Cincinnati and The Banks, and now the resurgence beginning in Walnut Hills, our city is experiencing a true culinary renaissance. Let’s not forget what’s happening in Northern Kentucky as well with an influx of new restaurants in Mainstrasse Village and downtown Covington.[![Round black bowl with grilled red and peppers, red onions and green zucchini](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/food-2.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/food-2.jpg) And nothing brings this to light more than the fact there are now FOOD TOURS with two different companies offering a multiple selection of tours, both day and evening. [Cincinnati Food Tours](https://www.cincinnatifoodtours.com/) and [Riverside Food Tours](https://www.riversidefoodtours.com/) offer up a variety of options, including customized Private Tours. Depending on the company selected for your food tour, pricing ranges from $25 to $100 for the pre-set excursions and can last from 1.5 hours to 3.5 hours. Be prepared to walk upwards of 1.25 miles (depending on tour chosen), enjoy a couple of tastings from each location you visit and learn about architecture and history along the way.[![Round pizza with red tomatoes, green pepper slices and cheese on a round wooden serving platter](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/food-3.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/food-3.jpg) [Cincinnati Food Tours](https://www.cincinnatifoodtours.com/), founded in 2012, originally centered around a Findlay Market Tour where the owners had their own shop and wanted to share their culinary experiences and introduce people to the Over-the-Rhine area. They currently offer seven pre-set tours including: The Findlay Market Tour, Sweet Stroll in OTR, Taste of the Street Car, Wandering Walnut Hills, Beyond the Market and the Ultimate Cincinnati Food Tour. [Riverside Food Tours](https://www.riversidefoodtours.com/) owners are “Certified Tourism Ambassadors” and know their way around this town. Their tours hit many spots on the Northern Kentucky side of the river as well. Their offerings include: Cincy Top Ten (only tour suitable for kids), Street Car Tasting, OTR food tour, Mainstrasse, Roebling Bridge and Madison Avenue food tour. [![Triangular piece of cheesecake with raspberry topping with blueberries and raspberries](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/food4.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/food4.jpg)Alcohol is available (additional cost) on most of these tours and most go on rain or shine. You can book any tour online and get a detailed description of exactly what the tours include. In addition, they both offer gift certificates–so hey, why not give the gift of an experience the next time you have to buy for that hard-to-buy-for special person—a night at Weller Haus Bed, Breakfast & Event Center and a Food Tour!

For the first time in many years, Bellevue is hosting a Garden Tour and our residents and community are showing off their gardening skills within their urban yards. Homeowners in settings like ours have considerably smaller spaces to work with than our suburban neighbors, but their creativity certainly makes up for the lack of space.[![](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/Kruse-residence.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/Kruse-residence.jpg) There are 12 gardens (including Weller Haus Bed, Breakfast & Event Center) on this tour covering a 2.5 mile route. Not only will you experience spectacular spaces of the private homes but our community gardens are part of the tour as well. You can walk the route–but do that early as it’s supposed to hit 95 degrees–or you can hop the shuttle bus that will drop you off/pick you up at key areas along the route. The shuttle departs from Darkness Brewing on Fairfield Avenue where you can also purchase the $15.00 tickets for the event. And while you’re there, check out their new craft beer brewed specifically for this event–Dandelion Beer! If you’re looking to relax in the afternoon, stop by Weller Haus to grab a cold beverage and listen to music by Sally Hammitt on our deck between 1-4 pm.[![](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/kerley.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/kerley.jpg) Let’s not forget MayesFest, located on the banks of the Ohio River at Bellevue Beach Park. Just a few blocks away from the historic shopping district–where you might want to grab a bite at the Pretzel Shop, Elusive Cow, Bellevue Bistro, Siam Orchid, Fessler’s Pizza or Avenue Brew–you can enjoy bluegrass bands. The music starts at 12:30 pm and the last band goes on at 9:30 pm. The music lineup includes: Chelsea Ford & The Trouble, Warrick & Lowell, Salty Caramels, Wonky Tonk & the High Life, The Young Fables, The Vicky Vaughn Band and Grizzly Goats. Vendors will be at the park serving up a variety of craft beers, BBQ, desserts and Kona ice to keep you cool. We’d love to see you around town this weekend.

Major League Soccer In Cincinnati--June 6, 2018](https://www.wellerhaus.com/blog/2018/06/its-official-major-league-soccer-in-cincinnati-june-6-2018.htm) **Published:** June 6, 2018 **Author:** admin **Content:** [![](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/fc-cincinnati_480xx564-751-0-50.png)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/fc-cincinnati_480xx564-751-0-50.png)Cincinnati has been transformed into a soccer town and the announcement on May 29, 2018 that FC Cincinnati is the 26th Major League Soccer franchise makes it official. In three quick seasons, the third tier minor league team, founded in August 2015, jettisoned to major league status. The record breaking attendance and infectious atmosphere created the momentum to bring the Queen City its third major league sports team. Pretty impressive for a city the size of Cincinnati and fortunate for Weller Haus geusts to be close to major league baseball, football and soccer. So, what is the secret concoction for making Cincinnati such a sports town? Could it be our German roots with its rich history of brewing? Sports and beer do go hand in hand – as illustrated by the FC Cincinnati announcement being delivered at the Rhinegeist Brewery, in front of a large beer drinking crowd. Who knows, but the combination makes for a great city and we are grateful to have major league soccer select Cincinnati. So come visit the Weller Haus, bring your orange and blue attire to root on FC Cincinnati and grab a pint at one of the many breweries in the area. **Categories:** Sports **Tags:** Beer, Breweries, FC Cincinnati, Soccer, Sports --- ### [Taste of Cincinnati--May 21, 2018](https://www.wellerhaus.com/blog/2018/05/taste-of-cincinnati-may-21-2018.htm) **Published:** May 21, 2018 **Author:** admin **Content:** If you’re heading to Cincinnati this weekend from out of town or if you’re a local, you will not be at a loss for entertainment in the area. While Spring starts the “festival season” that continues throughout the Summer, Memorial Day weekend brings the biggest food festival in the Cincinnati area and the longest running culinary arts festival in the US–the Taste of Cincinnati. At least once during it’s history it was selected by Event Business News as “Event of the Year” from among 40,000 special events–so you know it’s worthy of your time. [![](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/cincy-2.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/cincy-2.jpg) Started in 1979, the Taste of Cincinnati was the result of Karen Maier, Vice President of Marketing at the time, reading about The Taste of the Big Apple in a restaurant industry publication–the idea was formed, planning began and the rest is history. With just 5,000 attendees in the first year as a one-day event–and located at what is now Piatt Park (formerly Garfield Park)–the event continued to expand over time. In 1981, the event increased to two days and by 1988 became a three-day event that was moved to Central Parkway. One more move brought it to downtown Cincinnati after the $42 million renovation of Fountain Square was completed. The Taste located to Fifth Street to be closer to the cluster of downtown hotels and a new underground parking structure. The current location encompasses four blocks of Fifth Street between Main and just east of Sentinel Street. Be prepared for huge crowds–attendance runs at about 550,000 visitors over the three-day event. Bring your appetite and decision-making skills as there is an overwhelming number of choices for food–approximately 250 dishes from 50 restaurants and food trucks. And finally, there’s the entertainment from 50 local and national bands situated on various stages throughout the streets of downtown Cincinnati. If it’s hot—the beer will be flowing! You’ll be able to choose from Italian, Mexican, American, Jamaican, Southern and Asian foods that include pizza, pasta, tacos, sliders, BBQ and sweets to name a few. The local and national recording artists will be playing country, dance, 70’s, rock, blues, jazz and reggae music–so come get your groove on! Bring your appetite, your dancing shoes and your wallet this weekend. There are no admissions fees but food dishes range from $3-8, entertainment is free as is the people watching! Hours are 11a-11p Friday and Saturday and 11a-9p on Sunday. If you need a place to stay this weekend, call us and mention this blog and we’ll give you 15% off any available room. We are within walking distance to downtown–or you can take the South Bank Shuttle for $1 or rent a RED BIKE from Bellevue and drop it at any Red Bike station in Northern Kentucky or downtown Cincinnati. We hope to see you this weekend! **Categories:** Cincinnati Festivals **Tags:** downtown Cincinnati, fair, festival, food --- ### [New Pond, New Features](https://www.wellerhaus.com/blog/2018/05/new-pond-new-features.htm) **Published:** May 7, 2018 **Author:** admin **Content:** ![](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/old-pond.jpg) Well, it’s been a long time coming but we finally have a new pond and water feature here at Weller Haus. We’re so excited to share some pics and for you to enjoy it in person! Our pond is a wonderful feature in our back gardens and over the last 18 years has provided a beautiful backdrop for weddings and other events as well as ambiance for our overnight guests relaxing outside. We’ve anticipated the awakening of the pond in the spring as the new baby fish make themselves visible, water lilies and irises start to bloom and the water begins to flow again. We’ve not enjoyed the fact that as the pond has aged, there was a constant battle with leaking and issues with the direction of the water flow. So, last December we “took the plunge” and started over. Meyer Aquascapes has always handled our pond maintenance and showed up in[![](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/old-pond-2-1.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/old-pond-2-1.jpg) early December to manually remove the existing pond. Now, if you’ve been here before you know that it’s virtually impossible to get a big piece of equipment into our yard to remove hundreds of heavy rocks and dig a larger pond–so everything was done by hand. No less than five men and women showed up to handle this task. They worked relentlessly through cold weather and rain to finish the job within 5 days so as not to interrupt our weekend business. We now have a showcase water feature, surrounded by tons of beautiful limestone rock and with a magnificent 5 ft. tall water and fire urn beautifully cascading water over the sides. With two water falls and this cascading waterfall, you can’t help but relax when you’re sitting outside. New plants are being added regularly and as it gets warmer we are anxiously awaiting our tropical water lilies for the summer. These beauties apparently bloom and “glow” only at night.[![](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/pond-1-2018.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/pond-1-2018.jpg) We look forward to seeing you here soon to enjoy our new feature and perhaps take a few photos of you standing on our bridge among the gardens and rushing water.[![](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/pond-urn.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/pond-urn.jpg) **Categories:** Pond **Tags:** gardens, planting, pond, water features --- ### [ANNUAL BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE GIFT CERTIFICATE SPECIAL--November 30, 2017](https://www.wellerhaus.com/blog/2017/11/annual-buy-one-get-one-free-gift-certificate-special-november-30-2017.htm) **Published:** November 30, 2017 **Author:** admin **Content:** [![](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/christmas-1.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/christmas-1.jpg)The holiday season is officially in full swing and the shopping frenzy will be ramping up quickly before you know it.

And you need to be sure to be present for this inaugural downtown event that takes place along the Cincinnati Bell connector route, approximately 20 blocks, between Findlay Market and The Banks. This four-day event is planned to be one of the largest architectural projection mapping, light and art events in the nation with over 1/2 million people expected to experience this unique endeavor. Those of us residing in the Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati region are fortunate enough to already have a multitude of fall festivals and events that can fill up every single weekend beginning in September and running through November. The variety of activities, adult and family-friendly alike, help us welcome fall as we sta[![](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/blink3a.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/blink3a.jpg)rt descending into the holiday season. But this event, BLINK CINCINNATI, will be like no other one we’ve had in the area. Projection mapping will allow artists to turn the beautiful architecture of our downtown buildings into a video projection surface. With software and an artist, the buildings will come alive with optical illusions, movement and animations. This is the same type of art-form that has brought Lumenocity to life at Music Hall. Brave Berlin is the company that produced Lumenocity for three years and is now using their talents in BLINK. Street murals, interactive lights, lighted sculptures and urban artscapes will all transform these 20 c[![Tall brown building lit with baseball player mural](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/blink4a.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/blink4a.jpg)ity blocks into a night-time outdoor art experience. There are expected to be 16 massive light shows that begin at dusk and go well into the night. These shows, dubbed as “performances”, will last 5-10 minutes each and then repeat as people move through downtown from display to display. BLINK has been in planning for two years, is FREE, FAMILY-FRIENDLY and open to the public. Various food and beverage stations (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) will be offered along the route and there is a light-filled parade kicking off in Over-The-Rhine on Thursday, October 12. Special thanks goes to the Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile Jr. Foundation for playing a critical role in bringing this to our beautiful city, along with Brave Berlin, AGAR, ARTWORKS CINCINNATI and the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber. You are putting us on the map. Be a part of history, whether you come for a day or the weekend, we hope to see you for this truly unique experience. We still have a few openings for that weekend if you need accommodations. And if you can’t make it for BLINK, perhaps you can join us other fun-filled fall festival weekends. **Categories:** Fall Festivals **Tags:** Art Festival, art murals, Art streetscapes, Blink, Blink Cincinnati, downtown Cincinnati, Light Festival, lumenocity --- ### [Looking for comfort food, try the Purple Poulet--August 14, 2017](https://www.wellerhaus.com/blog/2017/08/looking-for-comfort-food-try-the-purple-poulet-august-14-2017.htm) **Published:** August 15, 2017 **Author:** admin **Content:** [![](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/purple-chicken.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/purple-chicken.jpg)It’s no secret that the three of us like to try new restaurants as they pop up near Weller Haus. First–it gives us an excuse not to cook. Second–usually, we get to share a great meal and do some future planning for Weller Haus. And third, we hopefully will add the place to our list of recommended restaurants for our guests, giving you event more choices when you’re in our neck of the woods. And with that, we’re going to introduce you to the Purple Poulet in Dayton, Ky. [![](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/poulet-1.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/poulet-1.jpg)[Purple Poulet](http://purplepoulet.com/), within walking distance of Weller Haus, touts their restaurant as a “southern bourbon bistro, inspired by the cuisines of Charleston and New Orleans, with an infusion of Kentucky”. And, they’ve labeled it appropriately. In business for about 18 months, we’ve frequented it multiple times and have always had excellent food and service. One of their “claims to fame” is their fried chicken and while it’s certainly not the healthiest thing to order it is delicious–but we are talking about “comfort food”, so you do make a sacrifice in terms of healthy. The meal comes with four pieces of fried chicken, green beans (all day green beans with ham hocks), buttermilk whipped potatoes and black pepper gravy. It is made to order, not sitting there under some heat lamp, so you’ll have a bit of a wait if you order it–but it’s not unreasonable and it’s well worth it. Use the time to enjoy the conversation along with an appetizer and selection from the fully stocked bar. Their offering of appetizers, while not extensive, is unique. Selections include items such as Sweet Potato Beignets, Blue Grass Fondue and one of my favorites, Chef Z’s Southern Pickens. This sample board offers an interesting selection and may include such items as country ham, fried green tomatoes, homemade pimento cheese, jalapeno-peach slaw and “pickled things”. It’s just enough to share with three and get a taste of other items you may want to order next time around.[![](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/poulet-2.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/poulet-2.jpg) We’ve tried their Shrimp and Grits, cola pulled BBQ pork, southern steak frites, burgers, chicken and waffles and uptown hot brown. Each has been delicious and we’ve always been pleased with our choices. The service is excellent, staff is knowledgeable, friendly and attentive and pricing is extremely reasonable. They’re closed on Sunday and Monday and open 5-9 on weekdays and 5-10 on weekends. We recommend reservations as they fill up quickly. We also suggest you walk there from Weller Haus so you can walk off some of the calories you’ll be consuming–and don’t forget to check out the desserts too!

Much of the business success is based on the property itself and amenities for the guests. If you have an appealing property and an engaging, friendly staff, then there’s no reason you should not have repeat business and referrals. And, if the B&B is located near a “destination location” with top notch offerings to traveler’s, then that only enhances the appeal for customers wanting to visit the area and stay at your business. Which brings me to the question–Does Cincinnati have what it takes to be a “destination location”? If not, are we close to getting there?[![Wooden roller coaster in front of blue sky](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/kings-island-211994_1920.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/kings-island-211994_1920.jpg) We had customers this week from New Jersey staying with us for seven nights. I’m always curious when guests are here for this long–do they have family in town or nearby, are they in for business or other personal reasons or are they here to enjoy everything this region has to offer? In this case, it was the last one. They had heard Cincinnati was a great place to visit, had a multitude of things to do and experience and they wanted to find out for themselves. When I tell you they had an itinerary that would make your head spin, I’m not joking! Each of their days was filled from after breakfast until late evening with places see and do as well as dining locations to experience. Enjoying breakfast in our dining room each day–a rarity–provided me the opportunity to hear about the previous days adventures and plans for the current day. This was important for two reasons–I could learn what was appealing to them vs. what I typically recommended AND I learned a couple of things that I didn’t even know existed in the area–useful information–but more on those later. [![Orange leapord with black spots in green grass](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/Leopard.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/Leopard.jpg)I think we all get a little jaded when it comes to where we live and what is offered–having a bit of a tendency to not truly appreciate the surroundings. For customers or out of town guests, there are “go-to” places that you’ll recommend or places you’ll take visitors that will never disappoint. Whether it’s cultural offerings such as Broadway Plays, Ballet, Symphony and Art Museums, beautiful parks including Washington, Eden, Smale and Ault Park, Spring Grove Cemetery and Krohn’s Conservatory, Findlay Market, Fountain Square, the Zoo, Aquarium, Kings Island, taking in a Reds or Bengals game, brewery and underground tours, outdoor concerts and festivals and enjoying the never-ending amount of unique restaurants in OTR, downtown and Northern Kentucky, we are certainly not at a loss for keeping busy and enjoying the city. I know, that was a really long, most likely grammatically incorrect sentence, but you get my point? It is endless. You could be in town for a month and still not experience everything on the list. [![Orange and purple flower](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/flower2.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/flower2.jpg)So, these are my questions–Do you consider our area a destination location? We will never be New York or San Francisco, but could we be a Chicago? Because if we can be, then that’s great news for residents and businesses. I’d be interested to know what you consider the “go-to” places where you take your out-of-town visitors. Educate me so we can continue to educate our visitors to the area.

There is a [Donut Trail ](http://www.gettothebc.com/donut-trail)in Butler County and there are [Food Tours ](http://www.cincinnatifoodtours.com/)centered around Findlay Market and restaurants on the street car route. Who knew!!! Both of these will now be added to our “Things to Do” section on our website. I’d love if you’d take a minute and give us your thoughts. **Categories:** Cincinnati Vacations **Tags:** cincinnati, cincinnati culture, cincinnati parks, cincinnati things to do, cincinnati tourism --- ### [So You're Thinking About Owning A Bed & Breakfast--May 21, 2017](https://www.wellerhaus.com/blog/2017/05/so-youre-thinking-about-owning-a-bed-breakfast-may-21-2017.htm) **Published:** May 21, 2017 **Author:** admin **Content:** [![Vase with two blue hydrangeas in front of silver framed mirror and lamp surrounded by hydrangea blue walls](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/rotation-garden-5.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/rotation-garden-5.jpg)I wonder how many of you staying at B&B’s on a regular basis think they would someday like to own one? I’m guessing that if you’ve entertained the idea at all, at some point in time the thought process has gone something like this: I could finally own a business and be my own boss; I love to meet new people, entertain, cook, decorate and garden; the idea of working from home is appealing; I would love the flexibility that a B&B lifestyle offers; living in an historic renovated home has always been my dream; I can earn a salary by doing the things I love; my family is off on their own and I have additional space. Sound familiar? I’m sure it does–just about every one of those thoughts went through my head when I decided that owning a B&B was going to be my second career.[![Four pancakes topped with pecans, sliced bananas, and syrup next to a cup of oatmeal grains topped with two eggs.](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/sidebar-breakfast-2.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/sidebar-breakfast-2.jpg) I’m bringing this topic to light because we recently had a couple staying with us for the weekend, who at the time of their departure came to me and said “You’ve inspired us”! Me, inspired you? I’m trying quickly to think if I’ve done something differently this weekend than any others and the answer was “no”. He proceeds to tell me that he and his wife are very close to retirement, looking for their next adventure and now think they want to consider owning a Bed & Breakfast. He was complimentary of the property and their visit and proceeded to tell me they live near a military base. They feel their community would be an ideal location for a B&B to accommodate visiting families of military personnel as well as the fact that theirs is one of those small-town feel locations in the midst of an upswing. We chatted briefly about the pros of ownership and what it takes to do this on a daily basis. I passed on that I knew an inn owner that lived in a small military base town who was extremely successful with just two rooms and a huge wedding business mostly from the military recruits. I am hoping their “second time around” dream comes true and is a success for them. I look at it as “second time around” because I had a corporate career spanning 25 years before I jumped in to B&B ownership. I can honestly say that in the 13 years I’ve been associated with Weller Haus Bed, Breakfast [![Silver rectangular faucet with flowing water into a tub and a basket of shells and starfish with an aqua bottle](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/rotation-dream-4.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/rotation-dream-4.jpg)and Event Center-10 as an owner, 3 managing it–I have never regretted my decision to take the leap. I consider myself one of the lucky ones. Several in this area have closed, there are plenty of owners that have left the business and gone out with horror stories about one thing or another, it is a big financial commitment that sometimes just doesn’t work out and generally the average time of ownership before bailing out is 7 years. So how does one make sure this doesn’t happen if you truly think you want this to be your career? It’s about having realistic expectations, doing your research, homework and planning and being financially prepared. First, don’t go in blindly because “it looks fun”. It is fun, but it’s many long days, you will most likely always work weekends and there are times you will work 100 days in a row without a day off. Think about that. Some days are obviously less busy than others, but when you live at your job, there is always work to be done. And while it may be tempting to sit down and watch the latest recording of “Dancing with the Stars”–somewhere there are weeds to be pulled, items to be repaired, breakfast prep to be done, dishwasher to be unloaded, tours to be given, events to be set up, calls to be returned, reservations to be made, revenue and receipts to be entered, bills (lots of them) to be paid, staff to be managed, facebook/website/blog to be constantly updated and managed–shall I go on? The point is, don’t think you’re going to be chilling with a cold beverage on the patio chatting with guests most of your days–that’s not reality.[![purple flowers red maple tree surrounding water pond](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/gardens-2.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/gardens-2.jpg) Second, determine what type of B&B is going to fit your needs. You’ll need to consider the locations you’re willing to live, the number of guest rooms that will support your goals, whether you’ll be doing this alone or with a business partner and whether this is going to be a “lifestyle” with a little extra income or a full blown business. When I was looking, I knew that I had to purchase a place that was going to be a full time business–so it had to be in a location that could support this requirement. It needed to be near places that could draw business to the area, the surrounding city/towns needed to be growing and have future growth plans–or it needed to be it’s own destination. If your property needs to support you full time and is located out in “Timbuktu” with the nearest town 50 miles away you’d better have something going on at your property that will get people there—or you might not make it. [![Large flower pot with bright pink flowers in front of Brick house with red and tan striped window awnings](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/rolled-bedbreakfast-new.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/rolled-bedbreakfast-new.jpg)Third, get ready financially because owning one of these is a money pit. And that’s the reality of it–don’t let anyone tell you differently. This is why most B&B owners (and I’m talking about inns that are less than 15 rooms) are in their 50’s or older –they’re generally at the point financially where ownership is plausible. You’re dealing with extremely large down payments and a generous reserve capital needed for daily operating expenses. If you purchase an existing business, vs. trying to start from scratch, the luxury of having existing and incoming reservations on your first day of ownership should not be taken for granted. And finally, there’s the upkeep–which if you want to continue to recruit customers–is mandatory. It can never be an “I’ll fix it later” mentality–because you will be doing a disservice to your guests, business, property and yourself–and you’ll eventually put yourself out of business. Something is always going to be breaking, rooms are always going to be needing renovated and refreshed. We have four buildings, four roofs, five water heaters, four a/c & furnace units, five supplemental a/c units, nine toilets, 14 sinks, three internet routers and 10 satellite boxes–there is always something that needs tweaked, repaired or replaced. Last but not least–research the heck out of this business. Take seminars. Sign up through various organizations as an “aspiring innkeeper”. Read as much as you can read, talk to as many innkeepers as you can, attend their conferences and if you can find owners that will let you work for them as part of your due diligence (unpaid, of course), then take that opportunity. I attended a four-day seminar on “how to buy an inn” that was extremely valuable. You can also engage the services of many qualified teams that will help you through the process from beginning to end.[![Long table with burlap table cloth, white plates, clear glasses, flower arrangements of purple, hot pink and white flowers](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/mobile-rotation-7.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/mobile-rotation-7.jpg) One final note–I truly believe that one can have a great experience as a B&B owner beyond their first few years when it’s exciting and new–and it starts with setting realistic expectations and getting prepared. When I was the owner I had always wished I could have had a business partner to invest and run it with me–not only for financial reasons but for the fact that you have someone to bounce ideas off of, to assist when needed, to complain to and share in the success. I’m lucky enough today to have that with these owners. They have allowed me to run the property without micro-managing me, they’re engaged, willing to participate and have a vision. For all those things, I’m grateful and it makes my job more enjoyable. So for those of you that may want the B&B experience without the ownership, consider managing a property–you have many of the same perks without taking the plunge. NO, my job is not opening up anytime soon! **Categories:** Bed & Breakfast Ownership, General **Tags:** B & B ownership, buying a B&B, buying a Bed & breakfast, owning a Bed & Breakfast, purchasing a Bed & Breakfast, purchasing an inn --- ### [Celebrating Anniversaries--Weller Haus & Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band--April 18, 2017](https://www.wellerhaus.com/blog/2017/04/celebrating-anniversaries-weller-haus-sgt-peppers-lonely-hearts-club-band-april-18-2017.htm) **Published:** April 18, 2017 **Author:** admin **Content:** [![Two story tan brick house with six tall windows trimmed in red and white paint, porch with two rocking chairs](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/mobile-rotation-6.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/mobile-rotation-6.jpg)This past weekend, April 15 to be exact, we hit the official three-year mark of Weller Haus Bed, Breakfast and Event Center coming under the ownership of IZRO Properties–aka Becky & Peggy. When I sold the property in 2014, my initial impression was that I would be transitioning the business to the right people. These two are locals that had already invested in Bellevue and wanted to see this community continue to grow–and they had some wonderful ideas for the future of the property. My initial impression was absolutely correct. They are engaged and forward thinking–and the three of us have forged a great team working hard to provide an outstanding experience for every guest that walks through our doors. We have fun doing this–some days more than others–but each year we have celebrated this milestone with a night out–and this year was no different. So, while we are celebrating our three-year anniversary, we took the opportunity to enjoy the celebration of another milestone–in the music industry–the 50 year anniversary of The Beatles album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. That in itself is crazy that it’s been 50 years since it was released! We attended the performance of The Beatles tribute band, [RAIN](http://www.raintribute.com/), at the [Aronoff Theatre](https://www.cincinnatiarts.org/aronoff-center). Prior to the performance we enjoyed dinner at the Latin-influenced restaurant MITA’S in downtown Cincinnati. Let’s start with the dinner that took place in a beautiful setting at [MITA’S](http://mitas.co/) in the heart of downtown Cincinnati. The architecture here is clean and modern with floor to ceiling windows as well as reclaimed wood floors. Seating was quick thanks to early 5:15 reservations and our hostess as well as our waiter both mentioned that we had called ahead with a special request on the main entrée. Nice touch. We arrived at the right time for happy hour pricing on red Sangria (yum!) and service was spot-on with a very attentive staff. As for the food–outstanding! They offer both small and large plates and an extensive wine list. We had planned to order the Paella–which is typically a 45 minute cook time–so the goal was to fill that time munching on a variety of tapas offerings. [![Inside of restaurant with orange walls wood floors ](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/mita.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/mita.jpg) Our selections included marinated olives with drunken goat cheese, local breads with extra virgin olive oil and romesco sauce and roasted carrots/quinoa/beets topped with crushed pistachio. You can’t go wrong with any of these but those roasted carrots were amazing. Paella arrived in less than 30 minutes–probably due to the early dining time– and was full of flavor! Definitely enough Paella to share for four, especially with the tapas. We passed on dessert, in fact didn’t even look at the menu. But looking at it online afterward, we should have at least tried one of them and my choice would have [![Plate of food with shrimp, yellow rice and green peas](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/mita-paella-1.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/mita-paella-1.jpg)been the Pastel de Chocolate cake. We’ll just have to drop in for dessert another time. On to The Beatles tribute band, RAIN. If you’re a Beatles fan, this is an opportunity to walk down memory lane and will certainly take you back to your youth, especially if you’re a baby-boomer. Three generations of fans showed up for this Beatlemania, multi-media performance of chart-topping classics. Over a two-hour period, the group belted out 36 Beatles favorites starting with songs from the beginning of their career such as She Loves You, Please Please Me and I Want To Hold Your Hand through the end of their time with Let it Be and Hey Jude. And of course, there was every song from the album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Complete with costume’s from every era that traced the groups style–which changed with their music, there was a multi-media set with high-definition screens and LED effects. Nothing mellow on these backdrops–trippy, groovy and kaleidoscopic patterns projected throughout Proctor & Gamble Hall. Reliving the past hit home with real footage from Beatles concerts, TV appearances and interviews as well as their premiere on the Ed Sullivan show. Their concert at Shea Stadium with fainting females being removed from the venue was certainly entertaining but then we were treated with the harsh reality of that time with footage from the Vietnam War and protests. We were entertained with black and white commercials for Dippity-Do hair gel (Becky and I both admitted to actually using that!) as well as Fred Flintstone and Barney Rebel advertising Winston Cigarettes. It was pure entertainment while enjoying “blasts from the past”. Unfortunately, it was only a one-night gig in Cincinnati, but if it comes to your town and you’re a Beatles fan, take the opportunity to enjoy a memorable show. [![Red heart with multiple red hearts in the center](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/heart.png)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/heart.png)All in all, a great night and a fun evening with good friends. Speaking of fun evenings–Weller Haus Bed, Breakfast and Event Center is an awesome place to celebrate your own Anniversary–whether it’s one year or 50 years. We provide a romantic back drop for your getaway and the area has a multitude of offerings for date night. Keep us in mind for your next celebration–and if you mention this blog post when you book your anniversary, we’ll have a special treat in your room upon arrival. **Categories:** Restaurants --- ### [Development of a Best-in-class Website](https://www.wellerhaus.com/blog/2016/09/development-of-a-best-in-class-website.htm) **Published:** September 13, 2016 **Author:** admin **Content:** [![newsite-screenshot](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/newsite-screenshot.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/newsite-screenshot.jpg)The Weller Haus team is proud to launch our newly revamped website along with a rebranding of our official name to Weller Haus Bed, Breakfast & Event Center. The complete overhaul of our website has been a year plus endeavor, in partnership with our developer, [Acorn Internet Services, Inc.](http://acorn-is.com), in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The education we’ve acquired along the way has been both impressive and overwhelming, resulting in a level of knowledge that will ensure our guests can easily find us on the internet and have a positive experience while using our site. [![old-website-screenshot](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/old-website-screenshot-149x300.jpg)](https://www.wellerhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/old-website-screenshot.jpg)Developing a best-in-class website that is easy to navigate, reflects the richness of the Weller Haus and meets the suggested site requirements of Google for better organic rankings is a much bigger “mountain to climb” than we realized but it is definitely worth the view. We’ve spent countless hours on conference calls and emails with our Acorn Team, writing and rewriting text, setting up photo shoots, sending our photographer on day-long excursions around the area and sorting through hundreds of images to achieve the final result. From our vantage point, a “picture is worth a thousand words” and we amped up our photography on the new site to over 200 pictures showcasing our property, amenities and the great adventures you can find in our surrounding cities. The numerous pictures are paired with detailed text to assist in selecting the best accommodations for your needs. In addition, we’ve included descriptive sentences relative to each picture for individuals with low vision that may need braille or a speech program to use the site. Another great enhancement to the site includes a more robust activity section to assist our guests in finding places to eat, drink and play in the Greater Cincinnati region including direct links to our favorite restaurants, museums, shopping and parks. After reviewing the area activities along with our continuously updated Calendar of Events, we’re convinced our guests will need more than one night with us to take in everything this region has to offer.

We find them in the strangest places–on top of a curtain rod, inside a refrigerator, tucked into door trim—our guests are really quite creative when adding their pennies to a room. You might be wondering why we’re even mentioning this and why our guests leave pennies in the room. We get that question frequently– we thought we’d share it here. . When I get asked about it—I always suggest that guests read the story–because it certainly loses something in translation when I give the abbreviated version. **So here it is…..The Story of Two Pennies** Have you noticed pennies in your room? If so, there’s a story behind them…if not, we’ve probably picked them up and added them to our jar—and it’s time to accumulate more! They are there for a very special purpose. Those little pieces of metal don’t buy much. There are millions of them in the world, but few people think of them as a valuable or a treasured commodity. It’s true—alone they don’t have much worth. But, when pennies are put together a significant difference can be seen. Just like a jar with a million pennies, this inn is built on the strength, nurturing and dedication of many people. A penny was added to an empty jar, for good luck, when Mary Weller envisioned this Bed and Breakfast. Another when her mother offered words of wisdom and encouragement when many asked “What exactly is a ‘bread and breakfast’?” Another penny went into the jar as Vernon Weller planted his rose garden and still another as he agreed to take on the home restoration project where Margaret’s Porch, The Dream Suite and the Garden room are located. Numerous pennies were added through the years as the Weller’s nursed each other and this business through bumps and bruises. Love added countless pennies from family and friends. Mary and Vernon extended their hearts to include David and Valerie Brown into their family as they sold them this business and got to know them through the process. David and Val added many pennies of their own when they saw the business starting to expand along with the development in the area. Leanne Saylor owned the property for 10 years before selling to us and she was graciously accepted into this extended family as the third owner of Weller Haus. We’ve now been blessed with two beautiful homes and a thriving business that can be attributed to not only the Weller’s, Browns and Leanne, but to you, our much sought after guest. Each time this place offers a guest a quiet moment, a couple rekindles a romance, or a toast is raised in friendship, engagement, marriage or birth of a child, another penny is added to a room. Each couple who say their vows here, a proposal takes place, or someone returns safe from serving their country, another penny is added. These pennies are a reminder to our four families of all the people that have supported this business; of all the hard work it took to establish and sustain the bed and breakfast; and just how much you, our guest, enrich our lives by sharing a bit of yours with us. Thank you…from the bottom of our hearts. We know you have a lot of choices today in where you want to spend your time and hard earned money, and we are so appreciative that you have put your faith in Weller Haus Bed, Breakfast and Event Center. We look forward to finding your two pennies. ## --- ### [Breakfast Menu Has Been Submitted](https://www.wellerhaus.com/breakfast-menu-has-been-submitted.htm) **Published:** April 14, 2023 **Author:** admin **Content:** Thank you for submitting your breakfast order.

Here we have listed how far away each casino is from our bed and breakfast. - Stop 1 – Belterra Park Gaming & Entertainment Center – Cincinnati, OH (7 miles) - Stop 2 – Jack Casino – Cincinnati, OH (2 miles) - Stop 3 – Hollywood Casino – Lawrenceburg, IN (31 miles) - Stop 4 – Rising Star Casino Resort – Rising Sun, IN (43 miles) - Stop 5 – Belterra Casino Resort – Florence, IN (54 miles) **Trip 3** – Plan an evening out at the Aronoff Center for the Arts. Prior to the show, make the night special by eating at one of Cincinnati’s finer restaurants – either Boca or Sotto – which are less than a block away from the Aronoff Center. Before or after the show, grab a cocktail at Igby’s, the bar located next-door to both restaurants. Finish the evening off with a romantic carriage ride around the city from Fountain Square. --- ### [Your Weller Haus Event](https://www.wellerhaus.com/your-weller-haus-event.htm) **Published:** January 19, 2022 **Author:** admin **Content:** We’ve compiled a few “gentle reminders” regarding events at our property–whether it be a reminder of items you need to bring or our general requirements for our facility and grounds. All of this information has been provided in your contract as well. **EVENT CENTER SET UP** - You’ll need to supply tablecloths, coolers & beverage buckets (unless you’ve elected to rent ours) plates/cutlery/drinkware, ice - If you need scissors, tape, any preparation items, etc–please bring them with you - Hanging decor permitted in locations where we have command hooks. No additional hooks can be added and no tape/nails/thumbtacks etc on any walls - Please leave our decorative artwork on the walls. - **Media**–if you need assistance with setting up music or tv’s please arrange this in advance so it can be taken care of during your set up time. We may not be on the property during your event to assist. **HOURS OF USE** - All events are three hours, not including set up and clean up unless you have contracted for additional time. - If you’ve booked an evening event, the latest an evening event can end is 10 pm if you have not rented all overnight guests rooms. - Clean up will need to be complete and everyone departed within 1 hour after the event ends. **GUESTS AT YOUR EVENT–CRITICAL SAFETY REMINDERS** - Our maximum guest count at the property for events is 50. If you have more than 50 guests show up, you will need to ask guests to leave to meet the 50 max. - We do not permit underage drinking at any event. If we suspect underage drinking, your event will be terminated. - We may have overnight guests at our property and we require that the outside be a “quiet zone” beginning at 9 pm–noise kept to a minimum and doors to the event center to be closed - **CHILDREN** at events - ***SAFETY*** is of the utmost importance at Weller Haus. Our pond is a big attraction for children and we need to insure that there are no accidents with children, adults and the pond. - A **parent** must be outside when their child or anyone 16 or under is outside. **NO EXCEPTIONS** - We are not a football field, park, or someone’s back yard. We are a business and this is our personal home as well. The expectation is that children will conduct themselves as if they are at a business or someone’s home — not running around and screaming as if they’re at the playground. **CLEAN UP** Unless you have paid the $150 cleaning fee, the following items will need to be done at the end of your event: - - All trash bagged and taken to the trash cans in alley–out the back doors and to the left. We supply extra trash bags under the sink at the bar as well as counter wipes and dish soap - The sink does not contain a disposal–please, scrape all plates into a trash can so no food into and possibly clogs up the drain. - If you’ve rented our cooler or beverage buckets, all ice and water disposed of in the back alley, not in the gardens - Counters and appliances wiped clean - All outside trash picked up and disposed of including plates, cups, bottles, - Any outside furniture that was moved –return to the original location - If you’ve purchased the firepits, please insure that the flames have been turned off. - Cooling/heating units turned off in both the large room and with the thermostat by the bar - Lights turned off - All doors locked–alley entry doors and doors leading to the garden **ADDITIONAL CHARGES** - There is a $50 fee for each parking lot that is utilized during your event. If you haven’t arranged for it at this point and would like to use the lot, let us know so we can set out the appropriate signs. - Firepits must be arranged at least 48 hours in advance and are $25 for each location. - We do have late departure fees of $150 each for any portion of an hour that the event runs over the scheduled end time and clean up time . - A cleaning fee of $150 will apply if clean up has not been completed as contracted. - Damages to walls will incur a minimum fee of $50 per area that is damaged. We appreciate your attention to these details that will help your event run and wrap up smoothly. --- ### [Guest Kitchen](https://www.wellerhaus.com/guestkitchen.htm) **Published:** November 3, 2011 **Author:** admin **Content:** # Guest Kitchen The Guest Kitchen, open 24 hours a day, is available to all guests staying overnight at the property.

For food and beverage services, you may bring in your own food and alcohol or your can utilize a catering company of your choosing. We can offer a list of caterers that have provided services at Weller Haus. Rental times for full wedding packages are a five-hour time frame, with your function completed and departing by 10 pm unless you have rented all of the guest rooms. Additional hours can be added (maximum 2) and all events must still conclude by midnight -again, only if you’ve booked all five guest rooms as part of your package. We do require a two-night minimum stay on weekends. All pricing is subject to 6% KY sales tax. Rates are currently valid through 2022 and subject to change. Rates are guaranteed once a contract is signed.
