This little cottage is the perfect getaway for a single or couple who want to be near Cleveland, but not in a motel. The cottage is fully furnished and equipped with everything anyone would need. The hosts were amazing and helpful, fully explained everything about the house. It was our first experience with a VRBO, and we were very pleased. Highly recommend this property. They even left us a list of their favorite local restaurants. We will return on our next trip to Cleveland area.

The sweetest little cottage

We would stay here again if given the chance. Very helpful and friendly host. The place was just close enough to everything but felt like your own little private cottage and so relaxing. Everything was very clean and well stocked with anything you could possibly need. We would highly recommend these hostess

PERFECT! (and then some)

I couldn’t have been happier. This is a beautiful well equipped cottage surrounded by nature and lovely gardens. Corky and Mark are wonderfully responsive hosts with helpful information and make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. I can’t wait to return at some future date.

Cozy, beautiful getaway

This was just perfect for our little getaway. Sweet, little cottage with a full kitchen (with all the amenities you could need), comfy bed, lovely surroundings. It was really close to Squires Castle-just a few minutes drive. We took a wonderful stroll in the woods and hills and looked around the 'castle.' Back at the cottage we enjoyed the little patio and saw lots of wildlife. It was refreshing, quiet, private, and cute.

Adorable cottage

This cottage is attractively decorated in a cottage style. It is small, but didn’t feel cramped. The kitchen was spacious, with everything one would need. The bathroom was small, but functional. Corky and Mark were wonderful. We enjoyed our stay very much. Corky and her husband have been remodeling the house in front of the cottage. It is beautiful! For those who need a larger place, consider that house.

Pros and cons

Good location for us, golf and grocery store nearby. Fan in bedroom needs to be replaced. It was too noisy to use at night. Would have been nice to have patio furniture cleaned as it was dirty enough we couldn't really use it. Main con was there are no curtains on the windows in the living and kitchen areas so people staying in the main house can easily see into the cottage at night. The bedroom had shutters so was private.

Rude host

We have rented vacation homes through VRBO several times and never experienced such a rude and disrespecful host. Her responses from the get go were uncalled for. I asked her to provide the address and in all caps she said CANT YOU READ? The email was reviewed by both of us who stayed there and the address was not in the communication she referenced. There was a handheld shower head and it broke. The hose broke right at the neck. We were able to re attach but next day it broke again this time some rusty pieces broke off. Mark came over and apologized and said it was time to replace and this would force him to replace it. We had to go next door to shower. Next communication from Corky was we were being charged $100 for the showerhead and the cost of the plumber. It was the hose that broke from the stem. I responded telling her that it needed to be replaced. Her response of course was that it was not old. She also said she blocked us from renting from her again and she has plenty of return customer's and she doesn't need slobs and people who can't read directions or understand the time and effort it takes to do this. She closed with I would suggest you stay in a hotel next time so others can pick up after you. We emptied all the trash cans, did all the dishes wiped out the sinks and made sure the house back in order. Her communication was unprofessional, rude, crude uncalled for and unacceptable.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Oct 2022
TO WHOEVER WANTS TO RENT TO THIS GUY. I banned Jerry from ever renting a property from us ever again. He broke the showerhead and never offered to pay and said it was old. It was not. It was a nice Delta fixture. We had people coming to stay the same day he left so we had to clean up his mess and then run around finding a suitable new fixture and have it installed. We withheld his security deposit to pay for the damages. We have never done this before. We have always given back the full deposit. He was a problem from the very beginning and he was a slob. I would suggest if he ever wants to rent from you, look over the property before he leaves. He made two reservations, put down the wrong email, and kept writing to me on the canceled reservation which prompted my...Can you read??? statement. It was a frustrating experience and really the first one like this we have ever had. So for Jerry....I hope to never lay eyes on his again.

Quaint cottage

This cottage is the perfect getaway for 2 people. Corky greeted us and had a bottle of wine ready on the counter for when we arrived. She was very helpful and was available when we had a question. Hands down one of the best VRBO properties I've been in in the last decade. Only 20 minutes from downtown Cleveland. Highly recommend this property.

Convenient, quiet location

We stayed at the cottage while visiting a family member at Breckenridge, which is only a five-minute drive away. The location is convenient not only to downtown Willoughby, but also to I-90, I-271, and routes 91 and 2. Corky and Mark are welcoming hosts. We will stay here again.

Lovely little cottage

The cottage is small--but Corky makes that very clear. If you are okay with "small," then you'll really like this place for you and at most one other person. It is in a lovely setting, the decorations are really nice, the kitchen has plenty of dishes, pans, and cutlery, and the bed is comfy. All in all, the two of us quite enjoyed our stay.
