Everything was great and booking was easy. The location was good, close to lakes for fishing and the national park, but close to town to try restaurants. The host had laid out a nice welcome book with suggestions and addresses which was really helpful for out of towners!

The home owners were great to deal with. They communicated better than any other place we have stayed. The location was conveniently located near hiking and biking trails. The house is very clean and the layout was convenient, minus the dining table being on the opposite side of the house.

The couch is very uncomfortable. You may as well sit on the floor. Every move you make it squeaks and you sink right down in it. Also a lamp in the living room area would be nice. You don’t want to keep the overhead light on all evening.

Response from VrboOwner on 13 Sept 2026
This is a retaliatory review from a guest who broke house rules and was an absolute nightmare to host. It is rare for me to leave a negative review, but unfortunately this guest left me no choice. From the moment this guest arrived, they made numerous demands and communicated in a rude and confrontational manner. Their expectations were unrealistic, and they did not treat the property with respect. Future guests - please read all other reviews and note the property is listed accurately. Thanks!

We really enjoyed our stay. The home was spotless, everything felt new and well cared for, and it was very comfortable. Being right on the small lake made it so peaceful, and the neighborhood was quiet and lovely. The location was convenient and getting in and out was very easy. We were visiting our daughter while she works toward her doctorate at Kent State University, and this was the perfect spot for our trip. We would happily stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Evan Giffels

Host profile image
I am from northeast Ohio. I absolutely love the Stow community and everything it has to offer! I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, hiking, biking, and real estate.

Why they chose this property

There are beautiful views of the Lake, and it is in a quiet neighborhood. Great location near the Metro Parks, Blossom Music Center, Sarah's Vineyard, Boston Mills and Brandywine Ski Resorts, shopping, and much more. Very suitable for a vacation/getaway spot, business trip, traveling healthcare workers, and anything in between!

What makes this property unique

One of the many things I love about this cottage is the many windows to enhance the views. Whether you are in the kitchen cooking, watching TV in the living room, eating dinner with the family in the dining area, or walking out of your room in the morning, you have great views of the lake!
