The hosts have done a fantastic job of providing a clean and tidy home with all the essentials needed. Beds are comfortable. Linens and towels were a nice quality. Kitchen is adequately stocked and had delightful finds for a child of the 70’s with Tupperware measuring cups and colored glasses. It was a plus to have everything needed for a cup of coffee or tea. The lake has a lovely walking trail around it and the wildlife was fun to watch. Overall, this property is a delightful spot!

The house was very clean and comfortable. We appreciated that the house was well-stocked with common kitchen and bathroom items. When we arrived we found bottled waters in the fridge, an assortment of coffees and teas, and more than enough paper towels, toilet paper, hand soap, shampoo, and conditioner. The hosts checked in with us daily to make sure we had everything we needed, which was nice.

This cute little house has been nicely refurbished, and we had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. It is convenient to downtown, to Cuyahoga NP and across the street from a nice walking path around the lake. The hosts were excellent to work with. The surrounding area is economically depressed but was generally very quiet and we didn't have any problems.
