Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:
"Sandy’s place was absolutely spectacular. We were floored by every room. Every detail was taken into consideration. The views from the house are stunning and Blu the barn cat was a special treat. We would love to return to stay again." - Alison
“We all thought the place was immaculate, gorgeous, charming, and whatever adjective you use to describe a location that takes your breath away! The pictures on the listing are great, but seeing this home in person is a real experience. Everything in the house is not only gorgeous but extremely thoughtful. You can tell that many hours were spent curating this experience to make anyone who visited feel welcomed, comfortable, and inspired. Coffee, music, make-up towels, board games, beautiful showers, a clawfoot tub, heated floors in the main bathroom, and a hot tub?! This home truly has it all.” - Camiron
"The house was gorgeous! Every thing you could possibly need was thought of and provided by Sandy. The beds were the most comfortable I have ever had in a rental and the kitchen was more than fully stocked with anything you could need! Hope to go back soon!" - Torie
BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS:
Retreat to the second floor where three beautifully designed bedrooms await, offering restful nights for up to eight guests. Indulge in hotel-quality bedding, luxurious linens, and room-darkening curtains in each room.
The king bedroom boasts a smart TV, workstation, and full-length mirror, along with a private ensuite bathroom featuring double vanities, heated tile floors, a large walk-in shower, and a luxurious clawfoot soaker tub. Across the hall, a queen bedroom and a charming room with two full beds share a convenient jack-and-jill style bathroom with a bathtub and shower.
For added convenience, a third full bathroom with a walk-in shower is located on the main floor. All bathrooms are stocked with luxury Apotheke toiletries, ensuring a pampered experience for every guest.
KITCHEN & DINING:
The heart of this home is undoubtedly the open and inviting kitchen, fully equipped to inspire culinary creativity. Whether you're whipping up a gourmet meal or a simple snack, you'll find everything you need, from cookware and bakeware to utensils, oils, spices, and even a blender. A 36" gas range and wall oven make cooking a breeze, while the large island provides ample space for food preparation and casual seating.
Enjoy picturesque views of the farm and rolling hills through the large picture window framing the cast iron sink. And for the perfect start to your day, the kitchen boasts a fully stocked coffee bar featuring a 12-cup drip coffee maker, a Nespresso machine, flavored syrups, creamers, sweeteners, and a variety of coffee and tea options.
Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area boasts a table with seating for up to eight, perfect for shared meals and game nights. A built-in bar area with a beverage fridge provides extra chilled storage and convenient access to barware for crafting cocktails.
LOUNGE SPACES:
The Garfield Inn offers two distinct living spaces, each with its own unique charm. The main living room, adjacent to the kitchen and dining area, showcases the home's original character with exposed timber frame beams, transom windows, and an exposed brick chimney. This inviting space is designed for comfort and gathering, featuring a 60" smart TV, plush throw blankets, various seating options, and a selection of board games.
Across the foyer, step back in time to the parlor, a tranquil retreat reminiscent of a bygone era. Here, you can enjoy classic tunes on the record player, curl up with a good book, or simply savor a cup of coffee while gazing out the large picture window. Whether you seek entertainment or quiet relaxation, this home provides the perfect space for every mood.
OUTSIDE SPACE:
Step outside and discover your own private resort-style oasis! The expansive patio, conveniently located just off the kitchen and dining area, offers the perfect setting for relaxation and entertainment. Enjoy the hot tub year-round, rain or shine, under the covered and lighted section of the patio. Dine al fresco beneath charming bistro lights, or gather around the gas fire pit for cozy evenings with minimal effort. A Blackstone griddle provides the opportunity for outdoor cooking, adding to the convenience and enjoyment of this space.
And coming soon in Spring/Summer 2025, the front porch will be the ideal spot to savor your morning coffee in a classic rocking chair, while the yard transforms into a playground for horseshoe, volleyball, and cornhole games.
NEIGHBORHOOD
Escape to the tranquility of the Ohio Valley, nestled amidst rolling hills and farmland, yet conveniently located just 1.5 hours from Columbus and 2.5 hours from Cleveland. With easy access from I-70 and I-77, the home itself provides ample opportunities for relaxation and entertainment.
The surrounding area boasts attractions like Seneca Lake and The Wilds. Rent a boat or kayaks at Seneca Lake Marina, enjoy Seneca Lake beach, hiking trails and splash pad, or embark on a Wilds' safari tour for an unforgettable adventure. Explore the charming towns of Cambridge and Marietta, both offering a variety of shops and restaurants to satisfy your curiosity and appetite.
PARKING
While there is free parking on-site, the gravel parking area can comfortably fit a maximum of 4 vehicles. We ask that guests do not block the shared driveway to the barns.
PETS
We allow up to 2 dogs, maximum of 50lbs each, for $35/dog/night (up to a one week stay). **If you have more than 2 dogs, exceed the 50lb weight limit, or are staying longer than one week, please request. We approve on a case-to-case basis.
STAIRS
There are 3 steps to enter the back patio door of the property. Inside, there is a large flight of stairs (see photos) to get to ALL 3 bedrooms on the second floor.
GUEST ACCESS
Guests are NOT permitted to enter the surrounding fields or barns - this is not our property. The yard surrounding the home and patio are for guest use. Please do not venture past the gray building off the back patio.
You will have access to the entire home minus the unfinished basement and attic, these two areas will be inaccessible to guests. There are two storage closets that will remain locked during your stay.
LONG STAYS
Any stay over 14 nights will require weekly housekeeping to change linens, restock, clean bathrooms and general areas. This will be $125 fee/clean and coordinated with guest after booking!
EASY CHECK-IN PROCESS
It’s just like when you check in at a hotel and give your ID and security deposit to the front desk, except our front desk is online! We use a web-based system called Happy Guest, and you’ll receive a personalized rental agreement, ID verification, and a simple security hold (which is not a security deposit) to receive your arrival instructions. It’s simple: finish these steps, and you’re all set to enjoy your stay!
Note: arrival info won’t be sent without completing these steps, and refunds aren’t possible if skipped.
