The property is really cute and comfortable. Parking is right at the door and there are restaurants within one minute walking. Access to the Scenic Railroad is just around the corner. For those accessing the National Park, the property is virtually in the park. Highly recommend this place.

We weren’t able to stay at this property due to some maintenance issues, but Richard set us up at the Bronson Barn which was an amazing place for our stay. The Barn had everything we needed and an amazing outdoor space. Thanks for a great stay!

Great place with everything we needed for an excellent extended weekend in Peninsula, OH. Only item preventing this from being five-stars is the queen-sized bed mattress was the hardest thing we've slept on in quite some time. For a few hundred capex on a new mattress, the owner can make this place close to perfect.

Comfortable Apartment in a Great Location

We loved this apartment. It was very clean and comfortable and well-stocked. The location in Peninsula was perfect for us as we were very close to Cuyahoga Valley National Park and we could walk to several restaurants. We rented bikes from the electric bike place next door and rode on the tow path in the park. That was a lot of fun. We really enjoyed our stay. Rich was very responsive and a great host.

There was a repair that needed to be completed at the Mott apartment, so the host changed our accommodation to the Bronson House. The Bronson House is a historic home located minutes from downtown Peninsula. Restaurants, hiking, biking, and local shops were within walking distance. It was beautifully kept inside and out. There was an area in the back of the property that looked out on to the Cuyahoga River. It was very peaceful and relaxing.

Peninsula is the Best!

My friend and I came from opposite regions in the country to meet in the middle at this beautiful place. Not only is the location absolutely perfect, being situated with the Cuyahoga Valley all around you, but place itself was a relaxing and quaint get away for us to recovery from our hiking and enjoy visiting with each other. I would love to come back and see more of the National Park and surrounding area. Rich was amazing to communicate with and made everything about renting this place easy and stress-free. Highly recommend!!!

Exceeded expectations

Rich gave us an upgrade at no additional charge due to a plumbing problem that he found prior to our arrival at the original location. The barn (upgrade) had an amazing view from the patio and we felt we were somewhere special. The barn was decorated beautifully and we could see stars through the many windows.

Clean, Good Location, Lovely Town

Great location, very clean, comfortable and good amenities including washer/dryer. Loved the smell from the popcorn shop on the first floor as you come through the first floor entrance, yet you hardly notice it on the second floor which is where the apartment is. Our only complaint was the single water filter pitcher in the refrigerator is inadequate and we had to buy bottled water for drinking etc.
