Very private stay!

We had a great time staying, it was very convenient to everywhere we wanted to visit while in Cleveland. Super private with the Carriage House being at the back of the property. I was able to take my older Shih-tzu out for walks in the garden area and on the sidewalk without much traffic. Very clean, bigger bathrooms and overall a great historic place to stay.

Not a good experience. My daughter and I went to check in at approximately 6:00 pm. The carriage house had not be cleaned. The garbage in the kitchen had not be taken out, dirty towels were on the floor, sheets had not been changed, counter tops were dirty, etc. Texted the owner and she was very apologetic and said she would send someone to clean. She sent someone who was staying in the main house to clean. This person said she was doing this as a favor. I asked the owner to text me when it was cleaned. My daughter and I had 2 small dogs with us. We drove around and made do waiting to go back. At 8:30ish I texted and asked if the carriage house was ready. No response. It was dark by this time and we were in an unfamiliar city and secured other accommodations. We did not return. The owner never texted to see if everything was okay. The owner said she was out of town with her job and did the best she could. We ALL have jobs and renting her carriage house is one of them. My advice is to arrive right at check in time to make sure everything is clean. I am not a person who stays out late in an unfamiliar city. I'm in the for the night once it is dark, so I was not comfortable going back after 8:30 pm.

Great Time in Cleveland

This house was first quality all the way. We really enjoyed our time there. It was so convenient to everything we wanted to see. There was also a nice grocery store just five minutes away. My sister and I were traveling with our elderly mother and this place was perfect. Large walk in shower, one level and only two steps up to the house. Check in was easy and our host was very responsive. I would definitely stay her again when I come back to Cleveland.

Wonderful Stay at a Great Location

My husband, doggie and I stayed two nights in this nicely renovated townhouse in the heart of historic Harrisburg. The place was clean and had all the amenities you could want, including a well-stocked kitchen and very comfy bed. We also liked the fact that it was within easy walking distance of many good restaurants and bars. Plus the riverfront is only a couple of short blocks away if you're looking for a relaxing evening stroll. We will definitely stay here again next time we're in Harrisburg. Thank you so much for everything, Tanner, including the early check-in!

Just right in every way

We (2 adults + 1 teen) were in Cleveland for a brief visit and college tour. This lovely carriage house was a convenient and cozy home base for our University Circle adventures. We appreciated the location which was within walking distance of cafés, a bookstore and cocktail lounge. Furnishings were elegant and comfortable. When we had a question about hot water during our visit, Kristen's response was immediate and attentive. Communication throughout booking and stay was welcoming and professional. We'll definitely be back!

Cozy Cleveland Carriage House

The Carriage House is a wonderful place to stay in Cleveland Heights! It has history and character on the outside, but it's all brand new on the inside. The Wolf stove is the highlight of the kitchen. The beds are very comfortable. The water pressure is good. The brick walkway that leads from the driveway to the carriage house in the back yard has heaved and tilted which could be an issue in wet or snowy weather, so it needs to be removed and replaced. The house is a cozy and welcoming space. The owner has worked very hard to provide a lovely renovated space for guests. This is a great place for families! 5 stars!

Unique Property with an Untold Story

We were in town for a weekend concert at Severance and stayed at this Carriage House. The Carriage House itself is very nice and its interior has been renovated. What did throw us off was the condition of the main house and the yard which are still in a significant state of disrepair. The lawn is overgrown with broken statues, walkways and collective clutter surrounding the exterior which you see from the carriage house. We had no contact with the owner and it wasn't clear if they lived in the main house or not. This was a grand home in its day and I assume there are longer term plans to restore it but the current condition was a distraction and, at some level not knowing the area, a concern that the neighborhood was not safe. I'd suggest to the owner that they provide some welcome history of the overall property upon arrival to share a perspective on what it was (maybe even pictures) and what it hopes to be. Knowing this story would offer some life and positive energy to the property. The location is great - a 10 minute walk to Little Italy and University Circle offering little cafes, coffee shops, and restaurants. Luna Bakery Cafe was a favorite.

Kristen's carriage house was perfect for us as we were in town for the Clinic. It is so close that we took a Lyft car anywhere we went, including downtown. The carriage house was quiet and in a nice area to walk. We discovered the Lakeview Cemetery and the Garfield Monument for an excellent hike. Kristen has furnished the carriage house with comfy furniture and beds, along with high end appliances and electronics. Highly recommend!

Fabulous !!

This is a small, meticulously cared-for carriage house behind a very large home, built in 1917, that is in the process of being brought back to its original splendor. The neighborhood is quiet, super-safe (I should know because I actually live just a mile away) and within a five-minute walk of a small, quaint shopping district. My son got married, so I rented this carriage house for my two brothers and a sister. They raved about how nice it was. If you want to be in the heart of Cleveland Heights or near University Circle, you couldn't do better than to stay at this carriage house.

Everything we needed

CWRU parents here for a visit. Finally a Cleveland vrbo i will absolutely return to! The host was so wonderful. The little house is a perfect layout. Our daughter ended up sleeping over to get a break from the dorms and for some homemade food. Great walking neighborhood and close enough to walk to the university. Very quiet and comfortable.

Wonderful experience

We loved staying at Kristen’s Carriage House. Everything you could want was available. Furniture and beds were comfortable. Top of the line appliances. And to top it off our first night we were visited by a gorgeous buck lounging in the back yard. We also had a tour of the mansion that Kristen and her mom,Margo, are renovating. (The Carriage House is located behind the mansion- the Harry Payer Mansion). The proximity is perfect for going to Severance Hall, Playhouse Square, Cleveland Clinic and the Coventry section. Parking is off street and safe in a well lit driveway. Wonderful experience and we will be back!!
