Great home and great location!

I am writing this review second hand, since my spouse and her friend stayed at this location.Both enjoyed their extended weekend stay. The communication with the hose was above excellent (if that is possible) :-). Very fast response and very informative and detail oriented.Care was given by the host to assure access to the home was secure.The location is close to Ohio's only National Park, hiking trails and other nature opportunities. Shopping was also close by.The home and ammenities were great as well. This is a great location and host.

Clean and cute cabin

We enjoyed our stay at this clean, cute cabin that is updated and just as pictured. We found it very comfortable and convenient for our weekend there to celebrate our daughter's graduation from Kent State; I would highly recommend it as a great alternative to hotels in Kent for future graduations.

About the host

Hosted by Evan Giffels

I am from northeast Ohio. I absolutely love the Stow community and everything it has to offer! I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, hiking, biking, and real estate.

Why they chose this property

There are beautiful views of the Lake, and it is in a quiet neighborhood. Great location near the Metro Parks, Blossom Music Center, Sarah's Vineyard, Boston Mills and Brandywine Ski Resorts, shopping, and much more. Very suitable for a vacation/getaway spot, business trip, traveling healthcare workers, and anything in between!

What makes this property unique

One of the many things I love about this cottage is the many windows to enhance the views. Whether you are in the kitchen cooking, watching TV in the living room, eating dinner with the family in the dining area, or walking out of your room in the morning, you have great views of the lake!
