The Grapevine House is a renovated 1800's bed and breakfast. Raymond O'Neil, founder and first director of the Cleveland Playhouse, purchased the home in 1927. His wife Dorothy and her mother-in-law opened a tea room, in what is now the Time and Treasure Trove. The women named their tea room the "Grapevine House" which probably originated from the grapes that Winesburg was famous for years ago. Tim and Jean Hostetler purchased the home in June of 1994. They began the task of an extensive renovation. Although the home has been completely renovated, it still has retained its 19th century appeal. On March 31, 1995, the first guest(s) arrived. Tim has lived in the area all his life and still lives on the family farm located a mile from town. Jean lived in the next country "over" not more than 15 minutes away and jokes that she packed her car with all her personal belongings "clothes and a fan" and found heaven in the backyard.
