Superb summer house

This charming older home was perfect for my family of 7. We needed a last minute spot and couldn’t be any happier with our choice. The rooms are cozy and has all the amenities you need to enjoy your stay. The added bonus of a toy room for my 5 year old nephew was perfect. I would re-book in a heartbeat.

Work Trip Gem

This place was perfect for me and several coworkers on a work trip. Everyone was comfortable with enough beds. Getting ready in the morning was a breeze with mirrors in all the rooms and enough bathrooms. Communication with our house was fantastic. Would definitely recommend and will stay again on our next work trip!

Charming historic home with 4 bedrooms that spent our family of 7 perfectly. The home had tons of gathering spaces. Had everything that our family needed and more! Love the town center and got to enjoy its vibrant shops and farmer's market. A+

Cool historical home in a great location

We enjoyed our stay at this historical home in Medina. The location was great...just a few blocks from Medina's square. The bedrooms were nicely sized with comfortable beds. The listing states sleeps 10 but I don't see how that's possible as there wasn't a pullout sofa. I would say sleeps 9 at most with one person on the couch. The house had a nice kitchen space with all you could need (foil, plastic bags, soap, sponge, etc) and laundry room with detergent. The front and back yards were large so lots of room for the kiddos to run around. The fire pit was nice, and it came with wood but there are no outdoor chairs to enjoy the space. All in all, we liked this home and would stay again!

It was a perfect place for us to catch up and enjoy some shopping and good food in Medina square. We needed the host for a quick fix on the oven and she came right over. We would recommend this place. Thank you for helping us have memories!!

Nostalgic and Comfortable

The house was just as described and perfect for our large family. The host was very helpful and communicative. We enjoyed the historic nature of the house and very much appreciated the little perks like toys and books for our kids. The location is awesome. The house is so close to restaurants and stores as well as fun things to do. We will definitely stay again on our next trip to Ohio.

Great home for a large family stay

The home was great for hosting out-of-state family. Two beds are actual doubles vs. queens and sofa can only sleep one as it is not a pullout sofa. So occupancy is 9. Loved the character of this old home. Outside is a bit unkept, but inside is beautiful. We had a deer and two fawns in the backyard in the middle of town!

Large house

My family and I stayed here during the weekend of my wedding, the house fit us all comfortably and fit all 5 of our cars in the driveway which was awesome. The house is definitely old and historic which leads to some of the doors not closing properly and the door handles falling off sometimes. Overall we had a great stay.

A step into history

The Huffman House is a treasure trove of 19th century history updated to accommodate a large group. The TV, Wifi and modern appliances were happily utilized. The layout with its huge dining room, working kitchen and generous bedrooms reminded me of a movie set for a story set in the Gilded Age. The host was helpful and accommodating. Very clean with easy house rules to follow.
