Berea Stay

Very nice place. Roomy and very clean. Location is great to go anywhere in the Berea area. Our car sits low to the ground so if you stay here be careful getting in and out of the driveway!

Lovely Laurel

Clean and neat home in the heart of Berea. Just the right size for two friends reuniting with a few others for a 40th reunion of a post-college volunteer program. Looking forward to renting again in the next few years!

Wedding

I rented this location for my daughter and son in law for us to get ready for their wedding and then the wedding night. This place was roomy enough for bridal party to all get ready and then they were able to enjoy a night of peace after their wedding. It was a super convenient location. Very affordable and easy to access. Great job!

Great for what we needed

Cute little house. Quiet neighborhood. Nice neighbors. Walking distance to Dairy Queen and Sonic. Comfortable beds. The only thing we would have liked is a washer/ dryer. The dry cleaners was closed and laundrymat down the street shut down.

Love Berea

Our stay was great! Quiet, safe neighborhood. There were a few small things that could be improved. No bathmat or hooks for robes/towels in bathroom. The floors were not as clean as they could have been and the bathtub need to be rejuvenated. Everything else was perfect.

What a cute little house in a quiet, family friendly neighborhood! We stayed here while our daughter visited some colleges in the area. It is close to everything, and yet you almost don’t realize that. The owners provided excellent communication with easy check-in and check out. I also appreciate the reasonable check-out list!! We highly recommend.

Lovely little house - poorly equipped

My husband, daughter and son in law travelled to Berea for a week long event. Proximity to the college was great, but we struggled with the lack of silverware, and glassware. There wasn’t a complete set of silverware so that four people could eat a meal together. There was a dishwasher, and they provided one dishwasher tab - so we had to buy dish soap and hand washed our dishes, glasses and silverware constantly! We stayed in late December, and we were cold in the night with not enough blankets so ended up bringing in the seat protector blankets from my car. Finally, in the back bedroom, there was only one working plug so I couldn’t charge my phone or use it as an alarm which was frustrating. We tried to reach to owner and she eventually responded but evidently isn’t local so didn’t offer solutions to our concerns.

The house was very clean. But had a couple complaints about the house. The tub is extremely old and is stained and has rust around drain. There weren't any extra blankets or even a extra throw blanket.Also 1 of the beds is very low to the ground.

Loved this house and quiet neighborhood

This is the 3rd time we have stayed in one of the Carpenter’s houses, but first in this house. Beautifully furnished and on a quiet street, this 2 bedroom ranch was comfortable and homey. We will always book with Laura and Leslie as we return yearly to our alma mater.

Spacious and clean

The unit is spacious and clean. The kitchen and bathroom supplies were convenient and sufficient for our family of 4. The step into the house from the side door is loose and not safe and needs to be repaired. There is some rust on the bathtub drain hardware. My husband had some allergic reaction and thought there were cat(s) in the property (although the property doesn’t allow pets). We were wondering if the previous guests brought pets. Everything else was great.

Great location

The house is in a nice neighborhood, fairly close to town, and was very clean. Check in was easy and the host communicated well. The carport kept me from getting rained on a couple times. Nice kitchen appliances, loved the ice and filtered water from the fridge. I do have some issues with my back and knees and the tall step into the house was a challenge at times. The queen bed was comfortable. I did not find the couch and loveseat all that comfortable for my back. There is no cable tv but I could stream my Hulu account from my phone. Overall I would recommend it for most travelers. Berea is a neat little town to explore. :-)
