Lovely older home! Our daughter has about the same era home and her comments were, "look at the woodwork", "I wish my house was in this great of condition!"Great location for us as we were spending time in the national park, eating at great breweries/restaurants and seeing what the Cleveland/Akron area of Ohio had to offer.And it's always fun to stay in a college town and see the students out and about doing their college thing :)I highly recommend this place to stay!

Really charming and comfortable older home! Everything was spotless. Great location. My only suggestion would be curtains on the front windows downstairs for a bit more privacy.

It was the perfect house that reminded us of our days attending Kent State, it was so convenient to be able to walk where we wanted to go. This house offered a place to re connect with friend and were so thankful we found it.

Another great stay! It’s the perfect place for visiting Kent State. Location is great! We love walking downtown and easily grabbing coffee or something to eat. The house is clean and comfortable. This was our third stay, and we’ve never had any problems. Mark is a great host and very communicative, making sure we have everything we need.

We booked the property for a sisters’ reunion/art retreat. We spent most of our time around the big dining table painting. The room was spacious with plenty of seating for the four sisters and the periodic others who dropped in for visits. Location was great; lots of coffee shops, eateries, and bars were only a short walk away.Two of us were from a much cooler climate (Alaska) and greatly appreciated that the property had air conditioning (and not just in-window single room units … it had ducted AC through the whole house). We loved the enclosed front porch which, despite the warm weather, was always comfortably cool. The only potential drawback was that the kitchen had little counter space so if we’d wanted to do any serious cooking, it would have been a challenge.

Excellent location and comfy!

We were visiting family in the area and wanted to have a centrally located place for me, my husband and our two dogs. This house was perfect for walking to the brewery and all the downtown restaurants & shops. We did a pub crawl one night!! Easy parking in back, coffee shop next door for breakfast, and THE FRONT PORCH was great for hanging out and talking into the wee hours. Will definitely stay here again next time we visit the family.

Home Away from Home

We stayed in Kent for a week and were helping to care for my 16 and 8 year old grandsons while my daughter (who lives in Kent) was having surgery. The location was excellent, we were able to walk many places (restaurants, library) and take field trips to beach, aquarium, and mini golf. The home was clean, comfortable, roomy, we made meals, enjoyed home’s board games and books, pitcher of filtered water in frig was a nice touch!
