Summary: This old house ( castle) was AMAZING!!!The Host was a FIVE STAR PLUSAnd the DECORATIONS very professionally staged, I can not THANK SUSAN ENOUGH
Rachel S. Jun 25, 2024 09:41:38 PM
Summary: My bridal party and I decided that for my wedding we should all stay in a castle. We searched for a while, but when we found this house--it was too stunning not to just book. The place did not disappoint. Even without central air conditioning, the small units in the house kept the place cool in the record-breaking heat wave of June 2024. Susan was very sweet, and messaged me back promptly. We had a wonderful time, and captured some beautiful pictures for our first look. Definitely a place to book if you want a one-of-a-kind stay.

Summary: Stayed 4 nights. Expected much more for $$$. 1. heat wasn't turned on before arrival. 55°F in the house. Took 4 hours to finally heat up. 2. Listing is misleading. References multiple fireplaces, a Keurig, firepit, and outdoor furniture. Can't use the fireplaces (safety issue, understandable, but should say in listing), you have to buy your own coffee for the Keurig, buy your own firewood for the fire pit, and the outdoor furniture didn't have any cushions, so they weren't usable. For most people traveling, it doesn't make sense to go buy coffee pods and firewood for a few days. Most hosts would have some available. 3. The listing says there are 3 levels, and the Merlin's Man Cave is in the lower level, implying that bedroom is on the main floor. It's not, it's in the basement. One lady in our party does not do stairs well, so that was unfortunately misleading. Recommend to clarify on the listing. 4. The tower doesn't have a light switch on that level to turn off the lights. You have to turn on/off the lights at the bottom of the stairs, which is not helpful for walking up/down stairs and going to bed/waking up. There is also NO smoke detector for the tower room, making some of the ladies feel unsafe in the tower. 5. Host showed up at 10a.m. on check out day to set up the outside and garage for a party she was having later in the day. Check out is 11a.m! I've never had a host show up during a stay. Unprofessional Host is nice, and we fit 7 ppl, but overall disappointed

Summary: I ultimately chose this location because the home had a certain aesthetic! I was throwing a reunion for my older sister and her college friends. The house is beautifully furnished and in the warmer months would be excellent for outdoor relaxation! I definitely appreciated the labeled light switches, I live in an older house and understand that the electricity is often wired strangely in older homes. It made our guests laugh that the TV only worked if you turned on the sconces by the fireplace. We had a wonderful stay and created many memories! Thank you for up, keeping such a beautiful home

Summary: The location of the house is closer to the busy street than I expected from the pictures. We were able to move in a little early in an effort to beat the ranging winter storm. Unfortunately, the house was not winter ready before big storm hit. The Marks and our family members worked to get the house buttoned down. The last day we finally got the temperature right. It is an interesting property and has some very nice antiques. The roaming deer made an appearance the last day of our stay. The house needs a little TLC but nothing major. I will be following up with the host.

Summary: We had a great time staying the castle. Each room has distinct character, the yard is dynamite and we were no more than 20 minutes from every Cleveland location we wanted to visit.
Casey K. Jun 22, 2022 07:30:45 PM
Summary: We had a lovely time at this property. It was perfect for our family. Eclectic, interesting decor in every room. It is obvious the owner is trying to provide every amenity a guest would require and/or enjoy. A very thoughtful property. There are two things that could be an issue: the listing makes it look like it is in the woods, and the backyard is especially park-like and beautiful with a creek and even deer strolled through, but the house sits on a very busy street and is not set back at all. The other is that there is no air conditioning except for one unit in the main bedroom. We lucked out in mid-June with a cool spell, so we could all sleep. Had it been warm and humid, we would not have been able to stay. We will definitely consider staying here again with a mind to the time of year.

Summary: The property is beautiful with an amazing back yard that backs to a forest and a stream. It is so peaceful to sit outside. This home is a great place for gatherings, and for lovers of older homes, this is is a gem. The five bedrooms allow many guests to sleep comfortably, and Susan (the property owner) is a delightful hostess. My only cautionary comments about the home are the bathrooms and kitchen. All are beautifully updated. However, there is not a dishwasher in the kitchen which, for us, wasn't an issue as both my Dad and husband don't mind handwashing. However, with a lot of guests, dish clean-up can get cumbersome. The heading of the rental on VRBO says three full baths, but if you read more closely, there are only two full baths and two half baths, which means that there are only two showers. One of the showers is in the basement, which is two to three stories below four of the bedrooms. Susan is planning on adding an additional shower in the third story turret. Until then, be prepared to juggle showers schedules as the master bath is the only bathroom on the three main levels with a shower or bathtub.

Summary: Cool place
Stefanie C. Apr 7, 2022 02:34:53 PM
Summary: Don’t miss the opportunity to stay in a real castle; featuring all the charm of the 1920s with the amenities of the modern area. The owner is a pleasure to work with, and made our stay wonderful. We had a 1920s themed dinner party, and the castle was a character herself. Treat yourself to a luxurious stay, you won’t be sorry!
