About The Bed & Breakfast on Tiffany Hill

Our Journey

We're Craig and Karen Verm, two musicians turned innkeepers. Craig and I were brought together through a deep love of music. We met in graduate school in 2002 at the College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati. After finishing our degrees and getting married, we were fortunate to have two very successful careers in music: Craig sang internationally in South America, Europe, Asia, as well as the US, and I taught at some of the leading music schools, Rice University and Carnegie Mellon University among them. Our daughter Lauren has lived in Pittsburgh and Houston, and had the amazing opportunity to travel the world with us (some of which she was old enough to remember!).

With such a busy performing schedule, Craig was often on the road for several months of the year. After the fallout of Covid on our respective careers, we were ready to settle down and find a way to spend more time together as a family. It was an unexpected turn of events to many who know us, yet also not at all surprising: I love to bake, Craig is an accomplished handyman, we both love to host, and our varied experiences and skill sets prepared us beautifully for our new careers as innkeepers. Even better, we get to make music - together - in an intimate space, which is incredibly fulfilling.

We’ve never felt more at home, and we hope you feel the same!
