Sewer issues

Stay was great until a sewer line problem. Host was very accommodating and made it right but put a damper on my stay. Would definitely do it again as the sewer line was not in their control

Great stay with minimal issues in a great area

The house was a great place to stay. It was comfortable and clean. The pool was well maintained and a blast to swim in. There is plenty to do in the area around the home and plenty of great food as well. I only had two issues during my stay. One was the witch stairs. My wife and I thought they were cute but they are unpleasant to go up and down frequently. They also aren't the most pet friendly, our dog wouldn't even consider going up them on his own. The other is that the hot and cold water on the shower are reversed. It was not a big deal though because once I figured that out it never bothered us and I know it can easily be fixed. Otherwise it was an amazing stay with lots to do.

Short get away

We had a wonderful stay, it was quiet despite being in town it had the feeling of being secluded. The owner came and cleaned the pool each day and was available when we needed him. Also the beds were so comfortable the best I have slept on.

About the host

Hosted by Paul A Sears

Paul Sears is the former dean of the College of Business at The University of Findlay. Since retiring from the University he has launched an art gallery and gift shop as well as an interior decorating business which he employs in the renovation of beautiful rental properties like this one at 517 College Avenue.

Why they chose this property

I have admired this property for a number of years because it is so unique: an interesting A-frame chalet adjacent to a beautiful little creek in a surprisingly secluded setting with an above-ground pool but conveniently located next to The University of Findlay. When it became available I immediately bought it and completely renovated the property so that others could enjoy it also.

What makes this property unique

The renovation included installing living room patio doors and a large deck in order to better enjoy the view of the brook which runs right next to the cottage, as well as central air and heat, but retaining the quaint wood-burning stove in the dining room. It also included a leather pull-out couch in the living room along with a massaging recliner and a very modern spiral staircase up to the loft bedroom with queen-size bed, large bean bag sofa and TV.
