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.

The whole property was great! We loved the fenced backyard and easy access to walking trails. The house was, by far, the cleanest and most thoughtful vacation rental we have ever stayed. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed in George and Karen's home for a family member's funeral. This beautiful home made the process of saying goodbye a bit more bearable, and the hosts were so warm and welcoming. This is truly a special home.

This is the only VRBO we have stayed at multiple times. The owners care that you have an enjoyable stay and it shows in their communication and upkeep of the property. The house is well maintained and clean, and pet friendly. We will be back again next summer!

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."

What an amazing find! My husband and I stayed at the property with my parents during a family wedding weekend. Karen and George have truly thought through every detail imaginable. The cleanliness was remarkable and the property is beautifully updated. The backyard was great for our pup and can’t say enough great things about our stay. Thank you!

We had a wonderful experience at this home. It was truly dog friendly with dog covers for couches/chairs, dog towels near the door to the outside and fully fenced yard. The house was in a good location, was very clean with easy instructions available throughout the home. We would recommend this home and we will also stay here in the future.

My matron of honor as well as my maid of honor and their dates and myself all stayed at this property for my wedding weekend. The property was fantastic and the hosts were amazing! They wrote me the sweetest note and got us muffins as well as a care package since they knew our stay was for my wedding. Highly recommend staying here!!

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.

This home was perfect for us. We traveled with friends to golf and fish in the area. We had plenty of room and everything was decorated beautifully as well as very clean! The hosts were great communicators all the way through the process...they even bought cookies from a local bakery for us as a nice surprise at check in. Would highly recommend as it was close to everything we needed!

This is the second time we visited this property in Mentor. It is pristine and so well stocked with the little things renters need and might forget-trash bags, soap, foil, etc. The location is fantastic-we walked in Veterans Park each day with our dog. We will surely make this a three-peat!
