Very nice place and in excellent condition. Little closer to busy road than expected and behind property is rather limited and bordered by serious dropoff so caution is required. None of that is a big problem just requires a degree of attention for pets/children/etc. One real issue was the bath/shower situation. The claw-foot tub is beautiful and a very high step in and out and the shower is limited to surrounding curtain with controls covered so a bit of a pain to manage. Great location just outside of downtown and hot tub was very enjoyable.

We loved staying in this home gorgeously appointed with modern amenities. Beds were comfy and we really appreciated the snacks and coffee bar. The fire pit with string lights above and the hot tub added to our great experience. The walk to the cute town of Peninsula was .3 miles from the house. From there we could hike, walk, or ride the tow path or catch the train. Thank you for all the attention to detail.

National Park Adventure

This place was home away from home. Had everything we needed and then some. Clean & cozy with all the accommodations. The host was amazing with clear directions and very responsive. We were able to enjoy the space with our two dogs, which is such an added bonus. Loved that this historical home is in the NP. Very close to the CVNP Boston Mills Vistor center and other close cities. The hot tub was a slam dunk for those long days hiking in the park. Slept great in cozy, quiet rooms. Driveway was a little difficult to exit but we made it work. The hike behind the house is definitely worth it, such a cute, peaceful waterfall. Would absolutely stay again! Such an amazing spot!

Perfect for a family

House was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Our children loved the short, private hike to waterfall in backyard, hot tub, and firepit. Short walk to cute downtown area with a few restaurants, coffee shop, train station, tow path. The hosts were very responsive.

Great getaway spot

The hosts thought of everything when outfitting the home for guests...the even provided firewood for the firepit! We think this is one of the best VRBOs we've stayed in at this price point. The only blemish is the adjacent street is really busy, so the car traffic can be loud at times.

Perfect location and beautiful home!

The house is well stocked and close to everything. We enjoyed sitting out back and taking in the fall view. The little hike out down the hill is fun too. And you can walk to downtown Peninsula which doesn’t have a whole lot but still really cute. You can also, from downtown, pick up the Erie and Ohio Trail, which goes for 100 miles. You can walk for as long as you want! It’s great and beautiful. thank you Justina for letting us stay at your lovely home!

Lovely Anniversary Weekend

My husband and I decided on a short getaway for our anniversary. I loved the feel of the house. It was very clean, and beautifully decorated with lots of extra touches. It felt cozy WITHOUT that "overly rustic" or cramped feeling that many places in similar areas have. The host was very responsive and helpful. The only reason I gave 4 rather than 5 stars on location, was that the property was closer to the road than we realized and getting out of the driveway proved to be difficult at times. There was room to turn around but traffic on the road was coming around a curve in a spot where they were typically increasing speed. This of course is not the host's fault. There is a traffic sign that says "hidden drive" but it didn't seem to slow anyone down. Perhaps a more prominent sign to mark the driveway would be helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and may return with the family.

Everything you could want

This is a lovely property. The house is charming, well-equipped, comfortable and centrally located in CVNP. My husband and I and our 2 grown children enjoyed a week here. The host thought of everything. She was quick to respond when needed. We enjoyed the park (hiking/biking), dining in Penninsula, and the R&R Hall of Fame is only about 35 min. away. Great house & location

Weekend getaway

My husband and I had an amazing weekend getaway. The home served as a perfect base camp for exploring and hiking in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. We have stayed in numerous VRBOs over the years and this definitely ranks in the top. The attention to detail and all the little extras were wonderful surprises. Though only in the home for a weekend we would have been comfortable there for a much longer visit. Will definitely book here again when we return to the area.

Great location & comfortable stay!

This house was perfect for our family of five. Very clean, well-decorated, exactly as described in the listing. Communication was top-notch, check-in was simple, and there wasn't a long list of things to do before check-out. We really felt like we were pampered on this stay and appreciated all the details like empty closets with hangers, luggage racks in all the bedrooms, plenty of hooks in bathrooms and entryway, well-stocked coffee/tea supplies, and a handwritten welcome note and bowl of snacks! Large parking pad with plenty of room to turn around before pulling out. Only thing to note - the shower is a converted claw-foot tub which could be difficult for someone with mobility issues to navigate (stepping into and out of), but it wasn't a problem for us - just something to be aware of if that would affect you. Other than that, the house was simply amazing. The location is awesome - in the small town of Peninsula, right in the middle of Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Right down the road from a coffee shop, two restaurants, and a small upscale market. Short drive to the NP Visitor's Center and several trailheads. Close enough to Cleveland if you want to spend a day in the city, which we did. We enjoyed our stay and will book again if we plan another trip to the area.
