About this property

Bonnie's Guesthouse @ Peridot Equine Sanctuary

***ALL PROFITS SUPPORT THE HORSES OF PERIDOT EQUINE SANCTUARY***
The rustic decor and well lit space reflects the nature of our horse farm & sanctuary, where you can stay for a peaceful country getaway. We're rural, but you'll still have easy access to lots of amenities in the wonderful nearby town of Chardon, less than 10 minutes away. Cleveland itself, currently going through a "rustbelt renaissance" is only about 45 minutes minutes West. We welcome guests of all backgrounds!

The space
Complete one bedroom, one bath apartment attached to our home. The unit has its own garage and private entrance, washer & dryer, fully equipped kitchen (refrigerator, range/oven, 2 basin sink, plates, glasses, silverware, cookware, coffee maker, microwave). It also has a fenced in side yard for dogs, with door access through the laundry room. We're a dog friendly property! There's a wood burning stove, with plenty of wood in the garage and front side yard. There's also a small deck off the back door, with a view of the barn and some pastures.

Guest access
Guests may use/access anything and everything that's obviously part of the Guesthouse unit. We welcome interest in the horses, but ask guests not to enter the barn or pastures with out Lindsay or my husband Jason. We also ask that guests who bring dogs, keep them in the fenced in yard. We do an extremely quiet, controlled, non threatening one on one introduction through the fence, which allows our resident dogs to know who is staying here. After the introduction they typically go about their own business and are quite content having some temporary guests to share their property with. This process has worked well for all types of dogs; young, old, insecure, rambunctious, shy, loud, quiet, multiple dogs, large dogs, small dogs, dogs that are friendly, dogs that are unfriendly. The side yard is plenty large enough for even the bigger pups to run around and get some excess energy out or stretch their legs after being in the car. We provide doggy poop bags near the door to help keep the yard beautiful for the next guest and their puppy.

Other things to note
*We are not an official 501-C3 non-profit. We are a self-funded sanctuary (with an unincorporated non-profit status) that has taken in horses with behavioral issues over the course of Lindsay's lifetime of work with horses. As such, they are not suitable for guests to ride or handle. Additionally, our insurance does not allow it.

**Due to the constraints on our time as a self-funded and self-run facility, we are no longer offering our barn tour and introduction to the horses as a complimentary amenity. For $10 per person we would be happy to arrange a barn tour and introduction to the horses ahead of time. We schedule our barn tours and introduction to the horses at 9:30 AM after breakfast, when all the horses are still in the barn. After that, they are turned out in the fields for the day and can only be observed over the fence at that point. We would be happy to answer questions you may have about care, feeding and horses in general during the barn tour.


***While the property is overall extremely peaceful, this is a working horse farm. We make every effort to keep noise and disruption to a minimum for our guests, but at times there is ongoing maintenance and repair of the property and equipment, to keep things running. We also have a dump trailer used for manure removal in the winter. That said, we've never had complaints about manure odors as we try to keep the barn and property very clean.

****Our check in time is 4pm and check out time is 12noon. There is an additional $25 fee for early check-ins/late check-outs up to 2pm on either side. A check in/out earlier/later than 2pm is subject to availability and is a $75 fee, due to having to block out the night prior/after to accommodate such requests.

*****Internet: We've placed a WiFi range extender in the unit, to allow access to our home network. Simply refresh the network settings on your laptop or mobile device, until you see the network names listed above. *Please note the "_Ext" at the end of the network name. That is the WiFi range extender. Our home networks are the same, but without the "_Ext" suffix. If you mistakenly connect to our home network, you'll have a poor connection. Lastly, the "2G" generally has a longer range, while the "5G" has shorter range but can be slightly faster.

Very peaceful and comfortable stay just minutes from downtown chardon. The side yard was also perfect for my pup to play in. It was lovely watching the horses outside the guest house and I enjoyed the barn tour to meet them in person. Overall a very pleasant and welcoming visit!

Lindsey and her husband are so warm and welcoming! The room was clean and ready for us. We loved the fenced in area for our pets and the beautiful view of the horses and acreage. It was a little chilly so they came over and helped us make a fire. Bed was very comfortable. Nice restaurants close. Just an overall great stay and experience. We look forward to coming back!

Perfect for Personal Get-Away

This was a wonderful place for a personal get away. I was able to relax and enjoy the quiet. It was comfortable and perfectly furnished. You can see and watch the horses from every room in the apartment. I was given the opportunity to go in the stable and meet the horses. Everything was perfect and j look forward to booking again.

Bonnie's Guesthouse was absolutely perfect for our stay in Ohio for class reunions. My husband uses a walker and the guesthouse was wide open enough for him to move around with no struggle. We brought a shower stool with us so he was able to shower in the tub/shower. We did go out and purchase a riser for the commode because it was very low for him to get up from. The riser was portable, so it helped immensely. Those are my two recommendations for anyone looking for a place to stay with someone with a disability. The fact that I could pull into the garage and he only had to walk a few steps into the house was truly a blessing! We also brought with us a little 24" Roku TV that we put on top of the woodburning stove so he could sit and watch his sports while I was gone. I can't say enough good things about the guesthouse and Lindsay, the host.

Nice cute place

We really liked the place. It was nice having a fenced in yard for the dog. The only thing I wish was different was that we could have walked our dog around the property or down the road but we could not because they have 2 dogs & we respected that. Luckily it was not a problem because we took our dog with us when we went somewhere and gave him a good walk there. So all in all it was perfect for what we needed it for. If we were going to be around the property more with our dog, we probably would not be staying there. The hosts were very respectful of our privacy also. I appreciate that a lot. Five star rating for what it was!

Great location and worthy cause

We were pleased to find that Bonnie's Guesthouse was only minutes from family we were visiting! It was very convenient to travel back and forth. The idea that our payment helped to cover the costs of the horses rescued and rehabilitated by our host was nice to know. The weather was not great and we appreciated the use of the private garage provided. The questions I asked of our host ahead of time were answered quickly, and even though the apartment is attached to their house, we had privacy. A couple of suggestions I would make would be to have a privacy curtain on the side door window in the main living space, and a couple of folding chairs that would fit at the folding table to play games or work on the puzzles provided. We didn't have too much time there, but if we did, those are the things I thought of. I loved how the entrance from the garage led right to the laundry/mud room. Perfect for taking care of wet, dirty shoes, coats, etc...

Rustic Charm

We admire folks that do good works. It is amazing to experience the love and compassion that these folks provide to these beautiful misfits. The peaceful setting and stay was a humbling experience. The location was great for our visit to Presque Isle in Erie, Pa and then to Cuyoga National Park in Ohio for bike trail rides. Highly recommend a stay and a visits to both of these beautiful parks.

Peaceful home

Easy check in - pull right into garage and walk into unit through the man door from garage - straight into laundry/mud room. If you have pets with you- it is a perfect scenerio set up. They have a beautiful shaded fenced area for your dogs. This is a hard find at this price point and everything available in one unit. I didn't catch the no air conditioning but it was absolutely okay, we opened the windows and ran the curling fans. Never once felt hot. Our evening was spent on the porch relaxing watching the horses & birds. The unit has everything you need for a stay away from home. Maybe come back next time when the weather is cold to utilize that wood burner! Thank you for sharing this unit.

We stopped in for one cozy, rainy night on our road-trip and enjoyed our time so much! The guest house has everything you need, full kitchen, living room, beautiful bedroom, and the bathroom has a great tub for relaxing. We had a quiet night’s sleep in the big bed. It was so fun to wake up and see the horses and dogs in the stable across the lawn. If we come back through the area sometime, we would love to spend more time and visit the stable!
