We stayed at this lovely home to check out the national park and see a few concerts at Blossom. The location was perfect, the neighborhood quiet, and the home had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We'll be back next time we're in the area.

Midway point for traveling

The rental was our halfway point for vacation and it was nice to have a house for our family to stay in instead of a hotel. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. The property manager was on top of everything! He communicated with us throughout the entire process and gave us info on local restaurants and activities!

Cuyahoga National Park visit

Nice clean house in a peaceful neighborhood. Just a few minute drive to Cuyahoga National Park which was the primary purpose of our stay. Steps away from drowning a few worms in the lake after some long hikes was a plus! Also being just a short drive to some great craft breweries (Missing Mountain and HiHO) didn't hurt either!

We choose this rental based on the location and price. We were looking to spend a getaway doing some hiking in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The location was good for restaurants, hiking and stores. Evan was very responsive with communications and the rental was overall very well taken care of.

Great home and great location!

I am writing this review second hand, since my spouse and her friend stayed at this location.Both enjoyed their extended weekend stay. The communication with the hose was above excellent (if that is possible) :-). Very fast response and very informative and detail oriented.Care was given by the host to assure access to the home was secure.The location is close to Ohio's only National Park, hiking trails and other nature opportunities. Shopping was also close by.The home and ammenities were great as well. This is a great location and host.

Perfect location for Cuyahoga Valley

We were in Stow for a visit to Cuyahoga Valley National Park and were happy to find this cute cottage just 15 minutes from the Visitor Center at the park. The bed was comfortable and the appliances were nice. The new patio and lake views were a highlight and we appreciated the proximity to grocery stores and coffee shops. We needed to buy k cups after finding only 3 caffeinated cups for 2 of us for 2 nights and we laughed to find someone else’s chocolate chip cookie on the floor of the bedroom. We also definitely needed to wash dishes before using them but none of that was a big deal. We’d stay here again.

Safe, clean and convenient

Cute, clean updated house located in a safe neighborhood. We liked the fact that it is very child proof. Our one year old was able to explore safely. We prepared some meals in the house. It is located near Cuyahoga Falls National Forest where were able to hike and kayak. We also drove to Lake Eerie.
