Quiet & private in the heart of Peninsula, National Park and on the Towpath

6010 Canal Street, originally constructed in the 1880, is located in the heart of downtown Peninsula, and is very private, comfortable and quiet. It retains its historic charm while providing modern conveniences to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable. The house is filled with sunlight during the day, and the original hardwood floors, painted woodwork, exposed brick and lighting create a warm and cozy retreat at night. The large kitchen and the dining room provide great spaces for cooking & dining, playing board games or simply spending quality time together. The living area and front porch overlook the Cuyahoga River and Towpath Trail providing a great place to relax while enjoying a morning cup of coffee or an evening a glass of wine. The kitchen has been remodeled as of January/February 2025 and includes induction cooktop, built-in convection oven/microwave and many other conveniences. Photos will be posted in late February as renovations are completed.

6010 Canal Street is situated in the middle of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and a perfect base for your getaway. It has direct access to the Towpath Trail, Buckeye Trail and Cuyahoga River. It is a 1-minute walk to the shops of Peninsula; 2-minute walk to the Winking Lizard restaurant (a great food and selection of beers and whiskeys); Fishers Cafe & Pub; Century Cycles bike rental; and Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad station, Catholic, Methodist and historic non-denominational churches, and 4-minutes to the Lock 29 trail head, G.A.R. Hall (Civil War museum and concert hall), Peninsula Art Academy or Peninsula Public Library (for books and dvds).

Within a 10-mile radius, you have access to over 125 miles of hiking trails, the Towpath Trail, two downhill ski areas, numerous sledding and cross country skiing areas, mountain bike trails, bike paths, kayaking & fishing, the CVSR historic railroad, CVNP visitor center, historic Hale Farm & Village, Blossom Outdoor Music Center, Porthouse and Weathervane Theaters, numerous waterfalls, a historic covered bridge, farmers' markets, wineries, micro-breweries, great casual and fine dining restaurants, public golf courses, trampoline park, and many more attractions.

Akron (15 miles) and Cleveland (25 miles) are within easy access from both scenic and highway routes giving you easy access to the area’s sporting venues, museums, cultural and arts districts, zoos, Summit and Cuyahoga Counties Metro Park systems, many excellent dining opportunities and shopping districts, and so much more! Both Cleveland-Hopkins and Canton-Akron Airports are within a 30-minute drive.

This property in Peninsula had an ideal location (steps away from front door!) for lovely riverside walks, canal lock visits, and local shopping and national park/holiday tourism. Inside, we made good use of the well stocked kitchen and cozy communal areas for big meals, board games, and quiet snuggle-in times. Paul was a great communicator before and during our stay!

The house is short walk away from the Towpath, within walking distance of the cafe and the Winking Lizard. The house itself was perfect; larger and more charming than I expected from the photos. Great hospitality. We arrived to a bowl of fruit, bottles of local wine, coffee, and a nice welcoming note on the blackboard. Fantastic communication with the host. We had such a great experience that I immediately rebooked for next year.

This property encourages you to relax and enjoy nature. Its close location to the Towpath trail was a huge bonus as we didn't have to drive into town to get to food or shops. We could just walk instead. If you like to hike or bike, a great place to relax and spend time with nature.

Great stay with family and friends. Location is spot on if you want to visit nearby attractions in area. Blossom Music Center is just minutes away. The towpath hike/bike trail is only feet away and it is fantastic. House is airy and well appointed with all amenities for a comfortable stay. Paul the host is very accommodating. Will definitely return for another stay in future.

This is a beautiful well kept house in a perfect location. With a lot to do close and within walking distance. If you’re an active person you will love this location. It’s on the tow path and perfect for walking, biking, and running.The host Paul made us feel very welcome and gave us some really good recommendations. This house is a hidden gem. I would highly recommend!!!

The property was amazingly located just yards off the Towpath. We appreciated that the kitchen was well stocked with spices and other minimally perishable items. They even provided bug spray which was so considerate. My one comment is the bedroom to the left had a terrible mattress and was way too soft so we transitioned to the upstairs bed, which had a lot of space and was very comfortable.

This property is just a few steps from the towpath and downtown Peninsula. Couldn't have asked for a better host. Paul was extremely responsive and helpful. We felt so at home in this quaint 100+ year old house.

We all raved about our stay at this property. It was incredibly well located - just steps from the tow path, scenic train station, bike rental, and restaurants. The house was well-maintained and everything was provided. The host was INCREDIBLY accessible and informative. Would definitely book this property again.

I don’t even know where to begin. From the beginning Paul has been a great communicator and such a gracious host! We had time to kill between a family wedding and a conference and found his historic house and so glad we did! It’s super charming and has a great location! He went above and beyond making us feel welcome with wine, fresh fruit, restaurant recommendations and great weather 😎. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at this property and highly recommend it! From Paul’s excellent communication and very warm welcome (fresh fruits, wines and essentials already stocked) to the clean, well maintained, and comfortable property, our family of 4 all had a great experience. We were able to walk to the restaurants, easily access the towpath to bike, and we were only a few minutes from most hiking trails. Lovely town and area and a quick drive to Akron and Cleveland. Would definitely stay here again!
