Lakefront Views - Near Cedar Point & Vermilion
Great Views of the water, very peaceful, main area was fantastic would be a fantastic youthful couples spot. Only negative for me was the pictures were confusing looked to be a bedroom on the main floor but both are downstairs which makes it not great youth or toddler possibly elderly location do to the stairs. If you didn’t have to use the stairs it would be a A+ and the stairs wouldn’t be a matter.

Luxury Downtown Flats Waterfront Apt. & Parking
This is the best location you can find if you’re looking to have a water view, be centrally located to food, bevs, shopping and events. We came to town for a concert at Jacobs Pavillon. We strolled across the street to eat. Caught an Uber because of rain or we would have walked to the venue, we were there in 5 mins. The property is perfect, clean, comfy and the hosts are great. We want to buy this unit we loved it so much.

Sunset's B&B on the Shores of Beautiful Lake Erie
Our 3rd time to stay here! If we find our way back to the area, we’ll stay again. Great location on the lake and can access other parts of Northern Ohio very easily! Apartment was super clean. Appreciated the snacks!

Romantic Waterview Lodge Suite with Hot Tub
Beautiful cabin and location! Very clean! We enjoyed our stay!

Historical Downtown Garrettsville, OHIO
Lots of space. Convenient location to walk around Garrettville.

Lakeside Getaway
Kelly's lakefront apartment has a wonderful lake view from both the living area and the bedroom, and a perfect spot to sit and drink coffee or eat a meal while looking out over it. The kitchen has everything you need and plenty of space to cook in. There is a nice little back deck off of the kitchen door with chairs. It was quiet, clean, and private--just what we needed at the beginning and end of several hectic days of family at graduation. Kelly was so pleasant and friendly, and can give you all kinds of local recommendations. We hope very much to stay here again! Absolutely recommend.

Lovely water front 2 bedroom rental unit
Heather’s place on portage lakes was great! Very clean, comfortable and spacious! We loved the deck overlooking the lake and the bed was very comfortable. Great location with multiple restaurants in walking distance.

Abby's Peaceful Lakeside Loft
Absolutely beautiful views everywhere. Smelled and looked nice and clean. I will definitely book again when I want a relaxing weekend away.

Rustic Lakefront Retreat
Nice quiet setting, big living area, short drive to places in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Host is nearby, and very responsive to messages. Keep in mind that the only bathroom is only accessible through one of the bedrooms. Overall we had a great experience!

Avon Lake Home across from Lake Erie
We rented at the last minute because our reservation at another place was canceled. Michael’s place was even better than the canceled place. Michael checked in with us on a regular basis helping to ensure our stay was positive.

Lakefront Home
Stayed at Adam and Alicia's place for my son's graduation. It is relatively close to Case Western campus (20-25 min drive), but - unlike the area around CWRU - is very quiet and relaxing. We were out a lot during the day for various graduation festivities, but it was a nice spot for our family to come back to in the evening, cook dinner, and hang out. Even though it was rather windy, we we still made a point of getting outside to sit on the patio or stroll around and watch the lake - birds, boats, and a very nice sunset. The hosts were very responsive; we had a problem in the beginning (no towels), but it got fixed very quickly after contacting the hosts.

Lakefront Portage Lakes Home
We had a wonderful time for a golf weekend trip. The house is beautiful and very clean. We really enjoyed being near water and the big deck. The owner was helpful and very responsive. Very happy with our stay!

NEW! The Lakeside Cottage - Close to everything!
This place is cosy and nice, I loved my staying here, great surrounding-Portage lakes, and the house has everything you may need.

Brandywine Creek Escape (Efficiency Unit)
Candice is very welcoming and responsive. Stayed end of May/early June and it was very comfortable. There are some goodies when you arrive that came in handy several times. Very clean. Excellent location, as it is very close to CVNP if you want to get some hiking, biking, and kayaking in. Local coffee shop and 2 restaurants ~10 min away in Peninsula where the scenic railroad is too. Would 100% recommend staying here.

Riverside Retreat: Hot Tub, Peaceful Setting
We had a relaxing stay, very peaceful setting. The house was very clean and tidy. We'd definitely stay again. Clint was a great host. We didn't have any problems finding the place and when we left, he took care of everything. We straightened the house back up of course, but he did everything else....bedding, towels, dishes, trash.

Spacious updated home by Clevelands Euclid Campus
This was the 2nd time my family stayed at Yvonne's Airbnb because we have cousins who live nearby. And we thought it was fantastic both times! We would highly recommend this property and are just sad we don't have an excuse to go back there anytime soon. The house was laid out really well. There was a living area in the front with a fireplace (although I'm not sure if it was operational.). And another living area in the back that had a big TV. All the rooms had a lot of windows and light. There was a desk in the front living area if someone needed to work remotely. We didn't use the kitchen much -- but it was large and well-equipped. Upstairs were two very spacious bedrooms and one cozy one. The house was decorated and furnished in a very warm and interesting way that made it feel more like someone's home than a sterile Airbnb. And the best part was how responsive Yvonne was. She got back to us in minutes whenever we had a question. It's a special place!

Private Room*in Paradise* Pond view
Suriya was a wonderful host. She made sure that the house was in great condition and works very hard to keep it that way. She made an effort consistently to make sure that I had everything that I needed. She made accommodations for me when things in the house were not available, and she went above and beyond to leave nice little surprises throughout my stay. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are looking for a comfortable stay in a fantastic area. My summer up in Cleveland would not have been as good if I was not staying here.

The Arlington at charming Fairport Harbor
Fun decor that matches the pictures and more. Lots of space for the money. Well located - easy walk to the beach, park, mini golf, ice cream, light house etc. Host was quick to respond. We enjoyed our stay

New Build Studio Apartment at City Club
Great place but parking is definitely an issue. If you’re a single person, I totally recommended. If you have anybody else with you or young kids, I would choose another place.

Downtown Loft - Private Rooftop - Lake/City Views
Jonathan was a great host. He kept in touch and was quick to respond. This location is near plenty of attractions and very walkable to the Flats, Rock & Roll HOF, and all the sports stadiums. Awesome rooftop patio and very cozy. We highly recommend staying here!

Lux Penthouse Downtown Cleveland - Rooftop Hot Tub
The condo was great! Clean and the bed was very comfortable. Hot tub was relaxing . Mike was very responsive, even though we didn't need much extra help. We would definitely stay here again if in the area!

Waterfront Cleveland Apt ~ 1 Mi to Downtown
This was an iconic spot right in the heart of downtown Cleveland! The space was very cool, clean and perfect for a weekend getaway in my hometown!! Would stay again!

Luxury Apartment overlooking Lake Erie
Ms. Tina greeted me like we had known each other a lifetime. Her introductions were warm and familiar. She offered me a hot breakfast before I could put my bags down....:) She was so inviting and gave me water and fruit before leaving. I'd stay here anytime...The view is amazing. If the sound of crashing waves puts your spirit at peace, this definitely the place to be :)
