Clean and cute cabin

We enjoyed our stay at this clean, cute cabin that is updated and just as pictured. We found it very comfortable and convenient for our weekend there to celebrate our daughter's graduation from Kent State; I would highly recommend it as a great alternative to hotels in Kent for future graduations.

I was very happy to see the improvements to the property since my visit a year ago. The front porch has been updated and a new patio with grill and chairs out back allows you to sit outside and view the lake.

Convenient for Cuyahoga NP

We really enjoyed our stay at the house in Stow. Cute neighborhood, clean and well-appointed house, and we were surprisingly near the national park as well as food, shopping, etc. We found an excellent little Mexican restaurant that we loved. Highly recommend!

Nice, clean place

Very clean home, great commutation with Evan. Well located near Cuyahoga town and the National park. Beds are firm, and it doesn’t have all the luxury touches of some vrbos but for the price, that makes sense. Definitely a good home base for exploring the area

It was a great place to stay

My two grandkids were supposed to stay over with me for two nights but the youngest got cold feet and wanted her daddy so the grandkids did not stay overnight but they lived so close by that I still got to spend quality time with them.

Cuyahoga Valley Hiking

This property is very clean and exactly as the photos depict. The host was very responsive throughout our stay. The location is perfect as it is near breweries and restaurants. Plus, we could drive less than 15 minutes to be at our hiking trails. It was a perfect balance and a comfy place to come back to at night. Highly recommend!!!

CVNP

Check in/out was easy. House was clean, organized and had everything we needed for our stay. Evan, is a great host and was very responsive to all messages. It is in a great location for easy, short drives into CVNP for day trips. Also, close enough to Akron, Cuyahoga falls and Cleveland for restaurants, breweries, etc.

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.

The house was clean when we arrived. We were visiting with family and it was close enough to their home. Enjoyed the Christmas lights of Hudson. I liked being able to have access to a kitchen in order to make our own meals instead. Overall enjoyed our stay.

Convenient Location

An enjoyable stay. Needed to turn the heat way down at night, otherwise the bedrooms would be too warm. It's called learning to adjust. Everything else seemed fine.

Stayed to hike various CVNP trails. Very close in proximity. Easy to get to trails and a quiet place to stay. Very clean, comfortable bed, nice space outside to have breakfast. Great air as it was 90s during our stay! We also had some great local food including Thai, pizza and Handles ice cream, which was our very favorite.

Great location close to Cayhuga and only 30 minutes from Cleveland and Canton. This is a lovely home situated next to a lake which was really nice to come back and relax after the days adventures. Evan was responsive and the home is clean and perfect for my family PS The Pac-Man machine was a nice addition too!

Nice location

We stayed two nights here. Very clean, nice quiet location. The welcome booklet was a nice touch! You might consider getting a new couch because it was verrrry creaky (the loveseat was perfect). Also the blinds were great but blackout curtains would be an amazing addition. If we’re ever in the area again, we will definitely be checking this location for availability!

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!
