This property was lovely and suited our needs perfectly. We were ten siblings with some of the spouses - several were local and did not stay overnight. It was like a step back in time but with all the modern amenities. The owner was gracious and welcoming and we hope to be back next year!

If you're planning a small, intimate wedding in the Cleveland area, definitely book with Candoren. We had our wedding for about 50 people here and it was absolutely beautiful. Lisa is so nice and has amazing ideas. The outside is perfect for a backyard wedding, and the inside is so full of history and charm. The staff on the day of my wedding was on it and rolled with so many punches. They really make your day so special.

Candoren rental rocks!

Traveling from Columbus we wanted a place to celebrate my wife's milestone birthday with our immediate family so we could all be socially distanced. Lisa and Bill were amazing, setting up a perfect event and their recommendations of using FATS as the caterer was amazing, we even went there for breakfast the next day! The house is wonderfully refurbished (man they put a lot of work into it) with plenty of rooms and all the right accommodations. But it was the personal touch from both of them to make sure everything was just right for us that made us feel special. Stayed at many VRBO's, these two know how to do it right - highly recommended!!!

Absolutely amazing - again!!

We 100% recommend this rental!! We are now repeat visitors of this beautiful home and hope we’ll be back again. Staying here is really staying in a HOME. A warm, loving environment with arms wide open ready to host you to sleep and your friends or family to gather to celebrate. Our hosts, Lisa and Bill, were once again incredible communicators and made sure we had everything we needed to host family from near and far away for a family reunion over Memorial Day. This gives us a chance to gather and take a moment to be grateful for the family we were given. What a blessing! We had so much room to spread out to relax including a first floor bedroom that was ADA compliant for grandma who has some mobility issues. Upstairs the bedrooms were plentiful and we slept very comfortably. We loved the addition of the back deck since we last stayed. This added yet another gathering place. Can’t wait to see what comes next before we visit next time!!

This stay just couldn't have gone better!!

I am so grateful that VRBO brought me to Lisa's home in Painesville!! My mother passed away in November of 2020. So between Covid and the holidays, a funeral with family just wasn't possible. We came for the Memorial Day weekend to bury her ashes and gather with family. We needed both a place for 8 of us to sleep and a place to hold a luncheon with our local family. We felt right at home in the Candoren. Lisa and her team have found just the right mix of upgrading things like the kitchen and the bathrooms, while keeping the charm of the original home intact. It is a beautiful home and each room is warm and inviting! One of my relatives used to come into the home with the previous owner and she was SO impressed with the updates that had been chosen. We had hoped to let family wander outside to help everyone be together safely, but instead the weather was cold and rainy. Turns out there was PLENTY of room inside for everyone to be together!! The sitting room upstairs was occupied by the "20 somethings" while the downstairs rooms were the "older folks." :) And per usual - many people ended up gathering in the kitchen where there was a coffee pot brewing with warm coffee. I mean - I really just can't put into words how grateful I am for the weekend we were able to have there. I know my mom would have been so pleased with the way we were able to honor her. The house was filled with laughter and singing and her memory was alive around us. After a long, sad year this was a perfect balm for our family. We're all hoping we can come back again for a family reunion in the years to come!

2022 Annual Sibling / Spouses Getaway

On an annual basis my 4 siblings / spouses plan an annual getaway to maintain strong family relationships. In total there were 10 of us who stayed here. Lisa was always very timely with her communication. She and her husband were at the home when we arrived for check in. Both were very congenial and made us feel welcome. They provided a tour of the home and provided some historical facts. Lisa and her husband have done a wonderful job at renovating the home. With plans to do more. This property provided us the space we were looking for. We enjoyed being able to sit together in the large living room and reminisce and have a good time. I can highly recommend this property as a place to stay at. It was central to other places we wanted to take in..
