Charming house

We stayed at this property while in town for a funeral - it proved to the perfect place for our family. The hosts were responsive and friendly. It was one of the best stocked rental properties I’ve stayed at, including a little coffee area and lots of family friendly games. It felt warm and cozy and we will definitely stay here again the next time we visit the area.

Adorable House!

It's a beautiful house—spotless, comfortable, and with a lovely fenced backyard that's great for dogs and humans. The house was well-stocked with all amenities. Most importantly, I liked the location (good restaurants and outdoor activities) and the security (alarm). I highly recommend it."

Wow! Even better than expected.

This property had everything you could want and more. We were there for family/holiday visits, but truly, could have never left the house and been happy. Clean, comfortable, spacious, safe, well appointed, well located, great outdoor space. Our kids were bragging to the rest of the family and my grandkids had a great time with the games provided when they came to visit. We/our dogs really appreciated the extensive walking trails and the fenced back yard. We unfortunately left a day early due to impending snow event, but gave some serious thought to asking for an extension to just hang for another few days alone, since our adult children had already left. We highly recommend; hosts Karen and George provided all information necessary and were very responsive, too.

Why they chose this property

It’s unique, pet-friendly, serene, you can take morning walks in the park or just relax in the sunroom - all of which are unique to our property. Plus, the location is so convenient to many attractions

What makes this property unique

Located in northeast Ohio in Lake County attached to Lake Metroparks Veterans Pond with fishing, bike/walking trails. This house has such beautiful scenery! Make a cup of coffee or tea, grab a book and relax in the attached sunroom (favorite spot of many guests) or outside seating and take in the sounds of nature. We suggest taking a morning walk through Veterans Park when the sun is just making its way over the pond. Located conveniently near so many bicycle trails including being able to visit within 10 minutes several beaches in the area as well as boating activities and wineries. Some of the area attractions include Fairport Harbor Beach which is dog friendly! Take your furry friend with you and enjoy kayaking, swimming, yoga on the beach or just walk the area. This area is also close enough to downtown Cleveland that you can take a day trip to Cleveland and enjoy the many wonderful areas to visit in downtown Cleveland such as the Westside Market, Ohio City, Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame and the Cleveland Browns and Indians stadiums. Near all major hospitals including Cleveland Clinic and UniversityHospitals, bith featured as top hospitals in the country.

Several guests have stayed here and visited the Cuyahoga National Park located just a short drive from here!
