The only thing I’d change about our stay at Susan’s is I wish it could have been longer! We loved the spacious yet cozy house that let our family spend plenty of quality time watching the abundant birds and small animals out of the beautiful front window and off the fantastic deck, while also having plenty of room for relaxing alone time. We made big breakfasts in the kitchen and curled up for movies at night. The entire property is welcoming, with plenty of room to roam, and my feline-loving boys could not have been happier about the friendly farm cats. We definitely hope to return!

very clean, well stocked with enough essentials. Enjoyed our stay, loved the nice scenic path in back of the property and the horses. House was centrally located to do things in Cleveland: Cuyahoga park, scenic train, hall of fame, Hinckley reservation. Recommend Foster's restaurant excellent pizza and bologna sliders.

Immediately upon arrival, we knew we chose well. We were welcomed with the fire lit and soft music playing. The house was exactly as displayed in the listing. The bed was super-comfy, the house well stocked, and no details were overlooked. The property was beautiful and we were able to enjoy a walk on some of the trails. If travels bring us back to the area, we will definitely look to stay here again!
