Vine Street Suite

JulianneRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Heather's place is perfect and exactly as pictured in the listing. The location is fantastic and a quick walk to the conservatory. Heather is very kind and easy to communicate with, and check-in was a breeze. She allowed me to drop off my things early so I could go exploring and lent me an umbrella. Upon check-out, she allowed me to store my luggage so I could enjoy the afternoon in town before it was time to leave. And she found my socks. Totally going to stay here again if I return for another visit. Highly recommend. It does require walking up 2 flights of stairs outside, but I love the treehouse vibe.

Home away from home-2 bedroom apt.

CraigRating, 5 stars1 day ago

The hosts are very nice people. They live on the property, so it's quick and easy to get help with anything. It's very much like visiting Grandma's house. We felt very taken care of. The house has everything you need and the #1 thing I look for....Good water pressure in the shower! We were there just one night because we were on a college tour with our son at Oberlin. Fantastic school by the way! They also have great accommodations for people with disabilities. We will definitely stay there again if our son ends up going to school there.

Sunset's B&B on the Shores of Beautiful Lake Erie

KimberlyRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We absolutely loved the property. It was so nice to have the option to use the grill/ fire pit/ back yard. My husband loved being able to just walk down a few steps to enjoy fishing—which he did every morning and evening. We were only about an hour from Marblehead where we went to see the lighthouse and then took a ferry to Kelley’s Island. On the island, we recommend seeing the Glacial Grooves and the North Shore Alvar. Then an hour in the other direction, we were able to enjoy the views from the observation tower at Lake Erie Bluffs. And very nearby was Lakeview Park, which had a beach area with swimming. The views from the back yard at sunset were stunning. We had everything we needed for a nice relaxing stay by the water. Thank you!
