We stayed for 5 nights. The owner was amazingly responsive to our small questions. The house was perfect in all the ways: comfort, location, conveniences, games/puzzles/toys for kids, seating for all 8 of us, lively yard and front porch, all kinds of fun board games. We love, love, loved it and will be back!

The host was very kind and responsive. House was well-equipped and perfect for our family get together. The location is perfect, quiet, walkable to downtown. There’s a very pleasant brewery/restaurant next door and a trailhead just a couple blocks from the house for walks along the river.

This might be the best VRBO rental we've ever had! The house was so cute and well-appointed for our group. The kitchen had everything we needed and the appliances and organization of the kitchen was excellent. I did wish there was a curtain or Roman shade on the kitchen window near the refrigerator for some privacy at night.The beds were comfortable and the rooms each were prepared for guests with a rack of towels, washcloths and hand towel. The shower was fabulous and the hot water was plentiful. We had to figure out the thermostat, but thankfully someone in our group was tech-savvy and could figure it out easily! Nightlights and automatic lights on the stairway made the home feel extra safe. Our only regret regarding the Hop House is that our son is graduating and we will no longer be making trips to Kent, Ohio. What a special home!

Cute, comfy house in a good location

We came to town to have Thanksgiving with local family. The house was in a good location and had everything we needed to cook a full Thanksgiving meal- including an apron! Many restaurants close by and a quick walk across the parking lot to Bell Tower Brewing. Would definitely stay here again.

Girls Hockey Weekend

We had a great stay at the Hop House! The house was clean and exactly as described, providing everything we could possibly need during our stay. The house was comfortable and charming, and in a great location with Bell Tower Brewery right next door. We came for KSU hockey and this was the perfect location! Would highly recommend.

Wonderful house

This property is the best. We loved having the brewery next door and spent most of the time on the front porch. This house is so cute-we loved how it was decorated. It was so clean and provided everything we needed. We were there for a family reunion and may have to rent this house again for next year.

Great place to stay!

This property is amazing! Well thought out, and beautifully decorated. There was plenty of room, and the host thought of everything from bathroom essentials and first aid kits to games and information on local attractions. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. It is right next door to Bell Tower Brewery. I would definitely recommend checking that out! We really enjoyed our stay at The Hop House!

Wonderful !

We stayed in the Hop House as we transitioned from one home to another in the Cleveland area. The home was beautiful and the host very welcoming and responsive. We have stayed in many homes and most lack a proper kitchen. This was stocked well and had everything I needed to feel at home cooking etc. Wonderful- Wish we didnt live so close so we could stay again!
