Lovely home, perfect location!

We had a wonderful stay in this house! The furnishings were comfortable and the amenities met any needs we could have had. The newly renovated kitchen was great for cooking as well as gathering for board games. The house was fully stocked with supplies (flashlights, band-aids, bug spray etc.), linens, towels, games, kitchen items etc. The location of this property is absolutely perfect for exploring and enjoying Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The front porch offers a view of the river and the towpath is just steps away from the house. The Boston Mill visitor center is a 15-20 minute bike ride north of the house and the beaver/wetland area is a 20-30 minute bike ride south of the house. The village of Peninsula offers several restaurants, a farm market, and one of the stations for the scenic railroad, and all are a few minutes' walk from the house. The host responded quickly and completely to all of our questions and made the house very inviting for our stay. We certainly plan to stay at this property again!

This property was perfect for our visit to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. We were steps away from the Topath trail and just across the street from the coffee house, and The Winking Lizard restaurant. The property itself had a beautiful kitchen and all the amenities needed to cook including spices and staples in the refrigerator.

Friend Holiday!

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!

Perfect Peninsula Location

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.

Great Outdoor Getaway

My husband and I were looking to getaway for a long weekend. I kept coming back to Paul’s listing. It’s is even better in person I love that it’s walking distance to restaurant and Cuyahoga’s park attractions while feeling peaceful. It has everything you could need if you want to cook in (which we did). All the little touches made our stay specials. Paul was very responsive when I reached out with a question during our stay.

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 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.
