The only thing I’d change about our stay at Susan’s is I wish it could have been longer! We loved the spacious yet cozy house that let our family spend plenty of quality time watching the abundant birds and small animals out of the beautiful front window and off the fantastic deck, while also having plenty of room for relaxing alone time. We made big breakfasts in the kitchen and curled up for movies at night. The entire property is welcoming, with plenty of room to roam, and my feline-loving boys could not have been happier about the friendly farm cats. We definitely hope to return!

very clean, well stocked with enough essentials. Enjoyed our stay, loved the nice scenic path in back of the property and the horses. House was centrally located to do things in Cleveland: Cuyahoga park, scenic train, hall of fame, Hinckley reservation. Recommend Foster's restaurant excellent pizza and bologna sliders. We came for my Birthday for the Haunted Restaurant and it was a highlight of our trip. Host was accessible and quick to respond. Loved our stay

Immediately upon arrival, we knew we chose well. We were welcomed with the fire lit and soft music playing. The house was exactly as displayed in the listing. The bed was super-comfy, the house well stocked, and no details were overlooked. The property was beautiful and we were able to enjoy a walk on some of the trails. If travels bring us back to the area, we will definitely look to stay here again!

This is our 4th or 5th stay at this property. The house itself is beautifully decorated and so comfortable, as is everything. The Horse farm this property is a part of is a little piece of heaven. I walked a short distance to the Horse enclosure yesterday evening and the horses each let me pet their noses.. So beautiful and tranquil...The owners are the best people you can ever meet..We love our time here!

Lovely Farmhouse

My husband, youngest son and I wanted to hike at Cuyahoga Valley National Park and found this wonderful farmhouse to stay at. It was newly renovated and equipped for renters which was nice. The property was beautiful with plenty of outdoor areas set up where we could go to sit for wonderful peaceful views. We cooked in most nights as it was great to just stay in.

Lovely comfortable home and beautiful property

We stayed for 3 nights and had a wonderful stay. The hosts, Susan and Mark, were helpful and welcoming but were not intrusive at all. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The property is in a peaceful setting, but it’s just a short drive to stores and restaurants. We enjoyed interacting with the horses and barn cats. And the pool was a nice way to relax. We really enjoyed our stay and made nice memories.

Relaxing Retreat

Susan and Mark have an absolutely gorgeous property. The farmhouse we stayed in was quaint and comfortable. You could sit on the couch watch the birds and the horses next to the fire all day. It appears there are plenty of things to do during the summer, but this trip brought a few mornings of snow covered pastures. Susan was always responsive and Mark was very nice. Great hosts and great property. I absolutely recommend!

Very nice time on the farm

We had a wonderful two night stay with two kids. The place was as described and well appointed. It was a little warm upstairs, but that’s to be expected during 95 degree weather and an older home. The pool was beautiful, as were the grounds. We had fun during the walking trail and seeing the horses. I would definitely recommend

House and grounds are lovely. We enjoyed walking on trails down to the river, and around the rest of the property. Owners friendly and responsive as needed, and not intrusive. Gave us some good tips on sights to see. Terrific hiking at Hinckley Reservation and Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

Charming farm house get away!

My family and I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this cute little farmhouse. The owner was incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. From the moment we arrived, he greeted us warmly and even took us on a tour of the property in his golf cart, which was a fun and unexpected treat, especially for the kids! The house itself was charming and well-maintained, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed cozy evenings by the fireplace and peaceful mornings overlooking the picturesque countryside. One of the highlights of our stay was getting to interact with the horses on the property. The owner graciously allowed us to help feed them which my son loved! We would definitely return and create more wonderful memories!

We actually rented both houses on the property for my whole family. I cannot say enough good things about them! The attention to detail is superb. The houses are beautiful and that doesn't even compare to the property they are on. The property is peaceful and exquisite. The whole family enjoyed being able to give the horses some carrots. The pool was refreshing and a wonderful place for us all to gather. The hosts are the cherry on top. They were so friendly, kind and considerate. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone and everyone. Thank you for sharing your homes and property with us!

Impromptu Girl’s Night

We decided last minute to have a girl’s night in Ohio. I usually spend weeks searching for the best place and book months in advance. Being that I didn’t have time for any research I pretty much crossed my fingers, held my breath and booked the 1st available listing. I could not have picked a better place if I would have searched for a year! This place is GORGEOUS! It is out in the country so the neighbors are not right on top of each other. The driveway was not hard to find even tho we arrived after dark. Arriving after dark they had all the lights on and the fireplace going - very much appreciated!! We only stayed 1 night but anything we needed we found easily. I don’t usually sleep well when not in my bed - I slept like a baby! On a twin size bed at that!! I wish we could have interacted with the animals but we didn’t arrive early enough and woke up to a cold rainy morning 😞 We don’t usually go back to the same place but we would love to return to this house in the summer and stay longer than 1 night!
