About Us

We are certified with the Ohio Bed and Breakfast Association.

The Emerald Necklace Inn & Tea Parlor is one of Cleveland's historic treasures.  It was built in 1863 during the Civil War and was operated by the Gilles family of Fairview Park as the first County General Store in the area. The current Innkeeper, Gloria Cipri-Kemer, is the owner and proprietor and enjoys continually enhancing the Inn's Victorian charm.

The Emerald Necklace Inn & Tea Parlor strives to be a comfortable and cozy home away from home for our guests. We truly believe in providing Hospitality from the Heart.

In our fast paced high tech times, it is important to take time to slow down and get away from it all. We are the perfect place to relax and renew yourself. The Inn is decorated in a Victorian style with many small treasures on display for your discovery and enjoyment. There are quiet spaces within, and the gardens are perfect for sitting, reading or just relaxing.

In keeping with a Gilles family tradition of hospitality to newlyweds, we give a washboard to each newlywed couple that purchases our wedding package.
