To Sleep, Perchance to Dream...
     All the comforts of home...and then some, await you at the O'Neil House Bed & Breakfast, a 19-room Tudor
mansion in Akron, Ohio.   Leave your cares at the door, then come in and sit by the fire. (There are six working fireplaces here.)  Play the grand piano in the formal living room. There's plenty of space, so you can wander to your heart's content.   Even the private rooms are furnished to accent the history of a home rich with tradition.

Make Yourself at Home
     Once home to the family of William O'Neil, founder of The General Tire Company, this opulent mansion has taken on the personality of its new owner, your host, Gayle Johnson. Elegant yet unpretentious, the manor offers gracious living in a grand, Old-World style.   An architectural treasure, the O'Neil House was designed by Meade and Hamilton and built in 1923.  Hand carved linen-fold oak paneling adorns the grand foyer, leaded windows grace nearly every room, vibrant Oriental rugs warm planked oak floors throughout.

But this is no museum, so make yourself at home.

Personal service and a responsive staff are always nearby to make sure you enjoy a comfortable stay.  Our

goal is to make your time with us feel like a visit with a dear friend.

The Breakfast Room The windows in the breakfast room brings the sunshine inside each morning. Could there be a better place to enjoy your gourmet breakfast cooked to order?	The Foyer From the moment you step into the grand foyer, you'll notice the craftsmanship so prevalent in wealthy American homes of the 1920's.	Grace's Bedroom Take a sentimental journey in Grace's Room, named for the daughter of the original owners. The queen-sized bed, French provincial decor and old family photos give cherished memories new life.
The Library A well-stocked library, complete with secret bar hidden behind a bookshelf, provides the perfect, quiet getaway.	The Living Room The expansive living room, with its warm fireplace and grand piano, is the perfect spot for small gatherings or for your own private reflections.	The Master Bedroom The Master suite includes this ornate second floor sitting room, a spacious dressing room, unique Art Deco bathroom and large master bedroom with king-sized bed.
