Anyone can occupy a building and call it their house, but a real home takes on the personality and characteristics of its owner. Dewey's home, filled with the mementos and milestones of a full life, is a reflection of a unique personality. The house is a jumble of rooms separated by steps of inconsistent heights. The old wooden floors creak comfortingly, there are antiques, the walls are filled with paintings and photographs. Everything you might need for an extended stay is at hand. From the front windows, the village of Chagrin Falls rolls out past the river and on to its small square, and from the back windows, one can watch the birds flit among the many feeders. The location cannot be beat. In the mornings after walking the dogs, we would head down the hill into the village. A stellar bakery is about a two blocks away. A local coffee place - don't bother with Starbucks - is situated across from the square. There are shops, restaurants, and a top-notch grocery store all within walking distance.We feel very fortunate that we were able to reserve this property over the holidays so that we could be close to family members. Like the homiest of homes, Dewey's house is filled with warmth and good vibes.Incidentals: the house is about halfway up a very steep street. Great for the glutes when taking a walk, but use caution when pulling or backing out onto the street. We were relieved to have no snow/ice during our visit.
