Deluxe Historic Victorian 5 Bed, 2. 5 baños en Trendy Hip Lakewood

Welcome back again. We hope you return during warmer weather.

It was so much fun to host you and your sons and hear about the concert. You went to thank you for choosing my house and for the fun pictures that you sent us.

We are so glad that you stayed with us and that our location was so convenient to your family member. We hope that you’ll come back again and try the other Victorian. They are both the same size just different decor.

We loved hosting you and your family. Thank you for all the wonderful things you said.

We thoroughly loved having you stay a second time. We hope to see you again soon.

We loved having you stay and hope you will return during the summer when our garden will be in bloom!!

Such a pleasure to Host you and your guests. We look forward to welcoming you back when spring flowers appear.

Stone Mad Pub is also one of our favorites. Thanks for choosing our place. Try us in the spring and summer too.

Thanks for saying our beds were comfortable and that your 96 your old dad enjoyed the home too. We were glad we also had the hospital grade shower chair for him. We loved the fun photo you sent us of everyone in the front gardens. Come back soon.

So honored to meet your friends who stayed. Thankyou for booking and staying at our Painted Lady Victorian in Lakewood, Oh - We are always upgrading using funds from these stays and all the while keeping the original 1900 architectural elements. We hope to see you in Spring and Summer when our gardens are abloom.

So happy to host you and your friends. Every bedroom has an ac unit so that each guest can choose their own comfort level with temp. Glad you kept the two doors pulled towards each other just outside the dining room - it does keep the ac unit working better for the living room and dining room area. Glad you were able to keep cool in what’s known as our “dog days of summer”. We would be delighted to have you return.

The absolute most wonderful guests ever. Even left a tip for our housekeeper and scratch off lotto tickets. Just cant thank them enough for leaving the house in amazing shape and being so personable and real. Come back to the Lakewood Magical Victorian soon.

We were so happy to host you and the chandelier in the dining room was imported from Spain. The arms are solid Crystal. I’m so glad you enjoyed that and what looks like brass is actually gold plated so it has retained its beauty over the years. More importantly, I was happy to answer all of your questions as your enthusiasm was off the chart positive

We loved hosting you and still use that amazing kitchen washing cloth your mom crocheted for us!! Thank you. We appreciated the pics you sent of your mom smiling away at her surprise birthday weekend getaway. We hope to see you in the spring or summer when our flowers are blooming!

Totally enjoyed hosting all of you for your guys weekend of fishing and golf. Really great to witness men with years and years of friendship getting together for r and r. Life is too short. Glad you know how to celebrate it.

Thankyou for staying! We so enjoyed you and your family. Our housekeeper loves hearing that she's doing a great job!

Owner Response: We’re sorry this guest didn’t find our home to their taste — though we have to admit, we were a bit surprised, as no concerns were ever shared during their stay. Everything here is clean, well cared for, and fully up to code — there’s no mold, mildew, or “jury-rigged” anything. The first floor half bath is in the mudroom which is attached to the kitchen and definitely not outside the house. The summer drought had taken a toll on our flowers in the yard but were refreshed as we normally do but just after this guests stay. New mulch and the whole shebang. Our home does have a bit of historic character — the kind that travelers looking for authenticity tend to adore. It sounds like this guest might have been hoping for the Ritz but chose our place for its unbeatable location just four minutes from the Clifton Club — rather than a 40-minute round-trip to the nearest hotel. We take great pride in offering a comfortable, welcoming family home with personality and heart. The house is 125 years young but we are always freshening without destroying the Victorian nature. We invite future guests to read our many wonderful reviews that reflect the true experience — cozy charm, a friendly host, and the best location in town. We are always taking on new projects with the house and the laundry room and it’s full bath just received a new counter and all new paint. And even a new layer of concrete. The cast iron claw foot tub also received a new color to blend with the decor. We always endeavor to preserve the Historic charm while making positive upgrades.

I honestly am not sure where to begin with this. Don't people look at the pictures when they're booking a Victorian home and see the clawfoot bathtubs? At no point did this guest let me know if he had any issues with someone that was a senior with mobility issues since he was a senior himself.. our main bath has a new $2600 slipper tub and that was before the installation price with platinum feet. It also has a new toilet, granite sink, and designer tile floor. We specifically keep a Medical shower chair in the closet of the room right next door in case someone does need a little extra assistance and it has a handle. There is also a granite sink right next to the tub that most people could hold onto to get in and out. had he mentioned that there was a mobility issue for anyone during the multiple times that we spoke and texted I could have offered the Victorian unit next-door, with a walk in shower. The basement bathroom is an original clawfoot tub. It's cast-iron with a shower over it and a lovely shower head with multiple functions. We keep spa steps next to the tub so that children and seniors can easily slide in and out of the tub. There is also a sink next to it to hold onto if you prefer to get in and out that way. I think it's quite unfair to complain after leaving without giving a host an opportunity to assist. They had lots of friends, visiting, and spending time enjoying themselves on the front porch and the back deck. Whenever I would text and ask how things are going. I heard "everything was going well." We specifically ask all of our renters to let us know on check in if there is any cleaning that got missed and not once did he say that there was an area that needed even a little of attention. I don't know what some folks are really expecting ....this house is cleaned twice a week it receives at least 10 hours of cleaning. It's 3500 ft.² we don't skimp on the cleaning and the same cleaner cleans two other houses and we don't get any complaints about that cleaning, so please future guests if there is something that is Not up to your standards Please reach out to your host and let us know so that we CAN do something about it right away and not two weeks after you leave. We are always in the process of upgrading our 123 yr old house and sometimes we have to wait for experts to be available. Ever since Covid the world has had to wait a while to get someone who can do a really good restoration. For what we charge and the amount of space and amenities I don't think we provide a lovely space. Our housekeepers even go over the day before or the day of someone arriving just to make sure nothing got missed. Any future guest that wants to see snapshots of this man's texts and what his friends wrote in the guestbook, which was lovely, you will see that this was an undeserved low rating.

We loved hosting you and giving you tips for the whole neighborhood. I’m so glad that you loved the chocolate at sweet designs. You must be a writer because the team loved reading your review. We might quote you on our website too. Very creative. We hope to see you again soon.
