Loved the small town of Peninsula and our ability to quickly get on the towpath for multiple days of biking and enjoying the National Park. Overlook pad of the river was a great spot to unwind in the afternoon.
We had such a wonderful time staying at the barn. It was extremely clean, beautiful, and very comfortable. We will choose to stay there again if passing thru in the future. Thanks for sharing your home!
We booked this property so that we had a place to get ready for our wedding in CVNP and to stay afterwards. Beautiful property in a beautiful setting. The host was communicative, extremely helpful, and kind. We will definitely book with him again when we're back in the area.
This is by far our favorite short term rental place to stay/vacation. The proximity to the canal trail makes getting anywhere a breeze. The park all around and the quaintness of the town is wonderful. Great places to eat, to hike, to take a walk with your dog are all here. We loved it!
The barn is absolutely wonderful. Large yard with fire pit and a patio that overlooks the river with beautiful views. Will absolutely go back and visit again. The host is very accommodating and checked on us during our stay.
The Bronson Barn is stunning, and the town of Peninsula feels like Stars Hollow from the show “Gilmore Girls” — friendly and beautiful, with local shops and businesses nearby. The barn is very close to hiking trails, including Brandywine Falls and the Ledges trail. Moreover, Rich is a fantastic host. Highly recommend! (First time visiting Ohio/Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and would definitely go again!)
Spent 4 wonderful nights at The Bronson Barn, set in the heart of Peninsula surrounded by the beauty of Cuyahoga National Forest in fall. The Barn was the absolute best, furnished with all the creature comforts you could want…from a fully stocked kitchen with plenty of appliances,dishes etc to a spectacular shower,extremely comfortable lounging area and spacious bedroom with lovely beds. Waking up with the beauty of nature yet still walking distance to the various shops and restaurants as well as easy access to the hiking trails and Towpath made it a perfect location. Our host, Rich went out of his way to ensure that our stay was first class. Will definitely return !!!
Our family had an amazing weekend getaway to Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and the Luxury Barn was a perfect location to relax for the holiday weekend! We visited over Thanksgiving weekend, and the kitchen was full stocked with all the necessary supplies to cook a wonderful meal. We enjoyed lots of quality family time relaxing and playing games and doing puzzles. Beds were super comfortable as well! We would definitely stay here again in the future!
The barn is located in an excellent spot within Cuyahoga National Park. The back yard is right along the river and has beautiful views and a peaceful nature feel.
The barn itself has been renovated and was very clean. It is a really interesting and peaceful space to relax, unwind, and enjoy.
The only drawback was the host’s sensibilities to the guest privacy. On day 1, he asked if we minded having a painter come in and do some “maintenance touch ups”. He agreed not to, but it seemed very strange to paint as maintenance during a guest stay. Then, on the last day, the water was literally shut off 5 minutes before check out time. I was washing the last dish as the water was just shut completely off. I wrote to the owner to apologize for the last dish and inform him about the water, to which he replied, “Thanks, sorry”.
If you are going to rent your place, you should plan around the guest stay to handle any property maintenance or management responsibilities. Otherwise, the place was great.
