About this property

Romantic Park-Like Setting

The Strawberry Cottage and the grounds are perfect for a Wedding. The grounds are beautiful and the catering could be set up in the newly built garage with tents set up on the property. It is so picturesque in the summer with the gardens in bloom.
The Space
This could go from renting a private room and bath or the entire home. There are actually 5 bedrooms but only three are set up as bedrooms the others are a sewing room and office.This is up to whatever the client desires. This home is on an acre of land with beautiful gardens with lovely indoor and outdoor spaces. All my friends say it looks like a Bed and Breakfast. There is master bedroom with a private balcony and 5 piece bath. The other two bedrooms share a bathroom. Very close to downtown Cleveland in the lovely community of Willoughby and Willoughby Hills. We are very near Lake Erie and Manakiki Golf Course is right across the street in the park-like setting of the home since the golf course used to be an old estate. You will love staying here and will not want to leave. Full access to kitchen with towels and all bedding provided. There are so many parks in the general area because the Cleveland area was built on a park system when it was created. The Cuyahoga National Forest is only 30 minutes away. The neighbourhood is all residential and everyone is friendly. The home itself is in a park-like setting too. There are three outdoor spaces for eating, talking or relaxing. There is a large front porch with overlooks the garden, an outdoor patio at the side which overlooks the meadow and ravine and an outdoor deck for eating with nature. Perfect for the spring and summer! You have access the entire home except the office and sewing room
Guest Access
Strawberry Cottage is located just east of Cleveland and you can be down to University Circle, Downtown Cleveland, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Progressive Field (the Tribe), The Browns Stadium and The Cleveland Clinic in 20 minutes with easy access to the highway. Hillcrest Hospital and Progressive Insurance are just down the road. Beachwood Mall and Legacy Village are 15 minutes away too. This is a perfect place to visit family in Cleveland, a romantic hideaway, or a long term stay for business. You make it what you want.
Interaction with Guests
We stay next door when the home is rented and will answer any questions as needed.
The Neighbourhood
The neighbourhood is charming. You are in a country setting but very near the highway and also the charming town of Willoughby with fabulous restaurants and shops and Sun Plum....a great farmers market open all year round for fresh vegetables, fruit and baked goods.
Getting around
There is no public transportation but everything is easily accessible by car and great biking in the summer. Very near two metro for walking and one for golf which is right across the street from the house and is a public course.

Corky is a great host. She showed us everything in the house and was extremely easygoing. The house was extremely clean, and everything needed in the house was provided. The house is a beautiful historic home with many nice touches. It can be used for many reasons. I stayed there to see the sights around Cleveland. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and this beautiful home made it that much more enjoyable.

We were pleasantly surprised to see that the home and grounds are just as described and pictured. It's a lovely home, well maintained and set up to make you feel at home. A maintenance issue came up while we were there and it was quickly resolved. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and you are centrally located to any place you may want to go. Definitely a place you'll want to return to.

Fantastic House in a beautiful location.

Wonderful house. Wonderfully appointed with wonderful hosts. You cannot go wrong with this choice. We were in for a wedding. If the opportunity arises to return in the spring to play the golf course that is literally down the street this location would be our first choice by far.

Amazing house!

We really enjoyed staying at this house! The flowers and plants around the yard are so beautiful and well maintained. Watching the birds in the feeders outside the kitchen window was our favorite morning event. The inside of the house are comfortable, clean and well accommodated. We felt at home. The property owner was very attentive and made everything super easy. Definitely plan to stay here at our next trip to Cleveland!

Perfect Getaway

This Strawberry Cottage was perfect. I can't say enough. Beautifully decorated, spotless with everything you need. The owner is attentive and would do anything for you. They even went out of their way to show us Cleveland. The golf course is right across the street which we enjoyed. We will definitely return. If you are going to the Cleveland area this is the place to stay.

Sister Getaway

I planned a sister get-a-way and stayed here. It couldn’t have been any more perfect! We saw the Garfield house,Holden Arboretum, and shopped Chagrin Falls. The location was perfect! We had so many choices of where to sit and chat each evening! The house was spotless and so very beautiful,but still cozy! We loved sitting at the kitchen table watching the birds!!! Great place, great host, great time!!!

Detailed communications before check-in and hostess/owner was available by phone and email during our stay. Corky’s hobbies and skills are evident throughout the house’s charming decor and beautiful gardens. Would happily book in again.

Strawberry Delight

We are 3 friends living in 3 widely dispersed states who gathered together at the Strawberry Cottage for a reunion. The house is charming and inviting, cozy and near the interstate and attractions. Our favorite spot was the kitchen nook where we gathered at the round table for breakfast and watched cardinals, Downey and red-bellied woodpeckers, purple and gold finches, red-winged blackbirds and multiple types of sparrows. The host was helpful and easily accessible for questions and restaurant recommendations. We highly recommend the Strawberry Cottage as your home away from home while in the Cleveland area.

Host-free rental? Think again.

The host stays on the property next door and monitors your every move.One of her rules is that visitors of the guests are to park on the street. We were told by her appointed greeter that we didn't need to park on the street. Both sides of the street are lined with a ditch, making exiting and entering the car difficult. I asked if visitors could park in the driveway. She said it was my choice, and if anyone drives over her flowerbeds that they are "dead meat." I felt that visitors, all over 55, were capable of avoiding the flowerbeds which are bordered by large landscape rocks. At one point, she drove up the gravel drive at a higher speed than necessary, got out, and yelled at me in front of guests, stating she was very pissed. She messaged me that her driveway looked like a used car lot and stated, " You must have been a kid who never took 'No' for an answer."We moved some outdoor chairs around so that we could all sit in one area. She messaged me, telling me to put everything back where they were found. If she hadn't been watching us constantly, she wouldn't even know that we had moved the chairs.I went from being offered to rent in the future by calling her cell to avoid all the VRBO fees to she'll never rent to me again. She did thank us for leaving the house so clean upon our departure, insinuating we did that to get into her good graces. I replied that we always leave the homes we rent in the same condition as when we arrived, to which she replied, "Grow up."

Our stay at this charming strawberry cottage was delightful! This cottage is beautiful, cozy, and well maintained, and we felt right at home from the moment we stepped inside. Our host, Corky, was very welcoming and showed us around the property when we arrived.The picturesque and park-like setting is peaceful and relaxing, with pretty views from every window beckoning you to come outside and sit on one of the two porches. Mornings were made for sitting in the large great room, sipping coffee and watching the birds visit the feeders on the porch, the resident woodchuck as he surveyed his domain or the family of deer as they sauntered through the side yard.Every detail and curated piece adds to the cottage’s warmth and charm, creating the perfect place to unwind. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would gladly return. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, picturesque, beautiful getaway!

About the host

Hosted by Corky Miller-Strong

Host profile image
I am a retired teacher and this is my home. I worked at a boarding school and traveled home when I could. I renovated this home lovingly for the past ten years and it has been in the finals of This Old House for remodels of the bathroom and outside gardens.

Why they chose this property

I have always wanted a home with a large from porch with unique and charming characteristics. I am from Shaker Heights, Ohio but have lived in California and Denver. I wanted something with character and not the 'cookie-cutter' homes of these two states. I could not wait to come home and I found the perfect house to renovate. My friends have always said it looks like a Bed and Breakfast and now it is more like a Country Inn and I hope you love it as much as I do.

What makes this property unique

You are very near the highway with major access to all shopping but you will think you are in the country and far removed from everything. The neighbourhood is friendly and the home is on a dead end street with very little traffic. You will love the area and all it has to offer. Bring your golf clubs in spring, summer and fall since the golf course is right across the street.
