Great place to stay!

The house is adorable and in a great location, close to restaurants and coffee shops. It's only a 30-minute drive to Brandywine Falls, which was easily the highlight of our trip. We loved the hot tub and would have enjoyed using the fire pit if the weather had been more cooperative. The owners responded immediately when we couldn't find the TV remote and went out of their way to bring us a spare. I feel like this kind of above -and-beyond service is what sets one VRBO apart from another. The house was immaculate and well-decorated. We had everything we needed and there were extra touches around, like coffee, blankets, and farm fresh eggs. We would recommend this to anyone and we would stay again if we visit Mentor in the future!

Great find!

We came to town to visit family and I’m so glad we found this place near them. It was notably clean, cozy and comfortable. There were an abundance of supplies (paper products, laundry soap, etc) and check in and out was very easy. Thanks for a great stay!

Great, comfortable house

Very clean, beds were comfortable and the host was kind enough to leave toiletries in case we forgot ours. Coffee lovers will be happy with the Keurig, K-cups and flavored syrups. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect Mentor, OH Vacation Home

This home is immaculate!!! The owners couldn't be more accommodating!!! The home was packed with extras that we have never seen at another VRBO! Food was in the cabinets, toiletries were individually wrapped, & the decor is second to none! We LOVED the private yard with the jacuzzi, firepit, & cabana! The owners provided their cell numbers & passwords to streaming networks for our entertainment pleasure! Restaurants are within walking distance, & a grocery store is less than a 5 min. drive! There's a delicious local coffee shop & a bakery nearby that has the BEST cupcakes we've ever had! We went to the beach every day, swam in Lake Erie & had a wonderful time! A HUGE thank you to the BEST hosts...ever! May the Good Lord richly bless these owners just as much as they are willing to bless others, like us! We'll definitely be back here again!

Hello, I am a long-time resident of Mentor, Ohio. My husband (Bryan) and I have quite a knack for remodeling and designing homes. We started our rental business back in 2012 and recently added short term rentals to the mix. It has been a blessing and wonderful experience. The people that we meet, and host are each special in their own way. This business has allowed us to give families a place to come together, slow down, and enjoy life’s moments. Our family strives to give a comfy and cozy place for guests to create lasting memories. We strive to deliver the best possible experience. We have 3 wonderful children that also help in special ways with our guests as needed. We also cannot forget our amazing four-legged companion, Roscoe. We are all animal lovers and believe that dogs should vacation too. We are so grateful to our guests past, present and future. So whether you are looking to spend some quiet time, celebrate, or just visit family and friends know that we are here to help in any way we can.
