We had fun! It's a quirky old house and our kids enjoyed exploring the house and the yard. Everything worked fine. It was exactly what we needed for our couple of nights in Kirtland.
Willow Woods Retreat was the perfect place for our geographically-dispersed family to celebrate Christmas together. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was roomy and well supplied with appliances, cookware, and dishes. Thermostat made room climate easy to regulate. We look forward to returning!
This property is a peaceful and quiet get away. We stayed for a week for a wedding and enjoyed the numerous parks nearby during our down time. Would definitely recommend.
The house and the area were exactly as described. The owners were well organized and had perhaps the very best property guide book that I have ever seen. We knew exactly what to look for and how to use everything. Really great place and we look forward to staying again in the future
House was cute and cozy with enough room for lots of family to spread out. Very close to Chapin Forest. Kitchen had most utensils needed for a big family dinner. (Needs a can opener) Stove and oven worked fine. A bit of traffic noise as it’s on a pretty busy road but nothing like city traffic. We had a great time with no issues.
We really enjoyed this vintage charmer! There were MANY strong points to the property such as the beautiful and spacious kitchen, 2 bathrooms, large upstairs bedrooms, game room, kids toys, awesome laundry room, and outdoor entertaining area. The hosts provided plenty of toiletries, linens, as well as, kitchen and laundry essentials that you and your family may need for your stay.
We loved this beautiful home. It was just minutes away from Historic Kirtland so it made it easy to come back and forth. We also enjoyed Squire Castle. The house was charming and bigger than we expected. Everything was clean and organized. We picked this home because of the year it was built, as we wanted to help them get a feel for the history of Historic Kirtland, it was perfect for that.
The house and the furnishings were beautiful, as was the historic area. There was a dead duck out by the pond and when the hosts were alerted, they apologized, but it wasn’t taken care of. We were bummed there was a three-day minimum stay, because we could only be there two nights, but we were aware of that at time of booking.
This was a quiet place. Lots of road traffic but overall very quiet. Everything was clean, which was what we were most interested in. Other than not being able to find the remote for the DVD player in the living room area, everything was wonderful! And that was just a small, minor detail!
This was a cozy, clean, lovely home. I absolutely loved the radiator heat. The kitchen was nicely stocked for cooking and the hot chocolate provided was a really nice touch. The next time I'm in Cleveland I will try to stay here again and hopefully, it will be in the summer so I can enjoy the outdoors too! There is a wonderful little pond in the back behind the fire pit which was nice to look at. I also took advantage of the jet tub in the upstairs bathroom. Overall, a really great experience!
We were sent incorrect codes for the door numerous times. After about two hours, and four codes, our patience was out. Took multiple calls to get a supervisor. We asked for, and received, a refund.

Peace & quiet
Had a peaceful & relaxing time. This is a cute home. Reminded me of being a little girl in my grandmothers home. We loved the kitchen space & spent most of our time there or outside. Only issue was the stove doesn’t work properly. The pilots run low. Other thing. Not enough towels. Other than that I will book again.
Perfect location if you are looking for a place close to any event at the Tall Oaks Resort. House was very clean and nicely decorated, beds were comfortable, kitchen had all l needed when fixing meals for the family. Over all we had a very pleasant stay.
Overall we loved the property, and location. The property around the farmhouse is full of natural beauty. We loved the antiques inside the home. The home suited our needs, and was well supplied for our family of 9. This is an older home with character which we found to be fun, and charming.
The home is a lovely old historic home and really had everything we needed! Loved the upstairs Master and bath, very spacious! Beautiful grounds and very clean! Drawbacks… Good location in town but it’s on the main road and you WILL hear traffic all day and into the night). Old home with OLD washer/dryer. The dryer didn’t work and the washer was missing the water temp knob, or it was removed so only cold water was available. Kind of concerning as guest linens should ALWAYS be washed in hot for sanitary purposes. For the nightly rate we paid, seems to me it should have a more modern and working washer/dryer.The mgmt company offered to send our laundry out with 24 hour turnaround but who has time for that?!? We ended up having to go to a laundromat while on vacation… no fun. The mgmt company gave me a 10% refund but for the 100, it was a lot of inconvenience for our group.Our last night, (thankfully only one night) we were awakened at 3am by a loud alarm of some kind, coming from the basement. Needless to say, it was most annoying and difficult to go back to sleep.
