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.

Convenient for Cuyahoga NP

We really enjoyed our stay at the house in Stow. Cute neighborhood, clean and well-appointed house, and we were surprisingly near the national park as well as food, shopping, etc. We found an excellent little Mexican restaurant that we loved. Highly recommend!

Nice, clean place

Very clean home, great commutation with Evan. Well located near Cuyahoga town and the National park. Beds are firm, and it doesn’t have all the luxury touches of some vrbos but for the price, that makes sense. Definitely a good home base for exploring the area

It was a great place to stay

My two grandkids were supposed to stay over with me for two nights but the youngest got cold feet and wanted her daddy so the grandkids did not stay overnight but they lived so close by that I still got to spend quality time with them.

Cuyahoga Valley Hiking

This property is very clean and exactly as the photos depict. The host was very responsive throughout our stay. The location is perfect as it is near breweries and restaurants. Plus, we could drive less than 15 minutes to be at our hiking trails. It was a perfect balance and a comfy place to come back to at night. Highly recommend!!!

Check in/out was easy. House was clean, organized and had everything we needed for our stay. Evan, is a great host and was very responsive to all messages. It is in a great location for easy, short drives into CVNP for day trips. Also, close enough to Akron, Cuyahoga falls and Cleveland for restaurants, breweries, etc.

Safe, clean and convenient

Cute, clean updated house located in a safe neighborhood. We liked the fact that it is very child proof. Our one year old was able to explore safely. We prepared some meals in the house. It is located near Cuyahoga Falls National Forest where were able to hike and kayak. We also drove to Lake Eerie.

The house was clean when we arrived. We were visiting with family and it was close enough to their home. Enjoyed the Christmas lights of Hudson. I liked being able to have access to a kitchen in order to make our own meals instead. Overall enjoyed our stay.

An enjoyable stay. Needed to turn the heat way down at night, otherwise the bedrooms would be too warm. It's called learning to adjust. Everything else seemed fine.

Communication with host was terrible. Traveled and went in property. Smelled very moldy and musty and since we are very allergic to mold we could definitely smell it. Contacted host but he never responded to me. Wife contacted Vrbo and host said we never showed up. I have pictures with dates and times. We showed up, left and found somewhere else to stay since it was unbearable. Looked clean….but something is going on.

Nice quiet neighborhood to rest up after our hiking in the park. Easy access to all Cuyahoga Valley NP has to offer, and close enough for a little side trip into Cleveland. No guest book? It’s always fun to see activities and restaurants that others enjoyed.

About the host

Hosted by Evan Giffels

Host profile image
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!
