The Forest Street cottage is so lovely. Very close to all the art and craft shops as well as the college. Check in/out was super easy and Amy was quick to reply to any of my questions. I didn't realize that she's one of the local artists! The place was surprisingly roomy and very comfortable, with beautiful, colorful decor. The upstairs loft area was adorable!! My husband and I were here for 5 days and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay here again.
Comfy living room area with a big roomy sofa.
Plenty of room in the kitchen to cook and eat. Was nice not to have to eat out all the time.
Spring was springing!

This was a first rate stay. All summer I've been traveling and making North American bookings on both *.com and *.com websites. This was *THE* nicest and best by far.

Fabulous

This cottage was great! It was spacious for a family of 4. My "tween" daughters loved the upstairs loft that had two beds and a bath just for them. A short walk away are shops and restaurants. We loved Papalenos. Walmart was a short drive away. Berea is a quaint town, with very nice people. We were quite happy the full week we stayed. Amy was a gracious hostess. Plus, her art throughout the house is beautiful.

Beautiful and comfy!

House was beautifull, (especially enjoyed the paintings, which were as intriguing as they were stunningly beautiful!) well kept, beds were extra comfortable (as was the couch). Could not have asked for better accommodations! Excellent value for the money!

Cleanliness

We took our shoes off at the door but by evening all noted dirty feet or socks. The floors may not have been mopped????? Would recommend a grab bar be installed horizontally about 12 inches above the tile on the long side of the tub. Thanks for a great place!
Response from VrboOwner on 27 Mar 2020
Hi Kay , I checked to see what happened because I take pride in providing very clean lodging. It seems like what may have happened was that the filters were changed after or while the cleaning was done and shoes were not removed during that process. I am still trying to find out for sure. Very sorry that happened.

Berea Cottage for Art Fair

We enjoyed our stay at your cottage. Lots of opportunity to spend time together. Had planned to do more on foot but found the town somewhat difficult to get our bearings. The Art Fair was somewhat disappointing as it was scaled back from what was represented on line.

Comfy & Clean Berea Cottage!

This is our first stay at Forest St. Cottage after previously staying at Traveler’s Cottage, owned by the same host. We may have a slight preference for Forest St’s open living room & kitchen floor plan. Both houses are exceptionally clean and comfortable in very quiet neighborhoods...A++

Adorable cottage!

Each room in this cute VRBO was nicely decorated and was a great place for a girlfriend getaway. Conveniently located near the campus, shops and restaurants. We loved the owner's colorful artwork displayed throughout the house. It was very nice and clean and I would definitely recommend this place. We realized after the first night that we needed to keep the bedroom doors open at night to stay warm since it was a cold but there were plenty of blankets! One thing you need to be aware of is that there is a $10 per night fee for guests over 2 even though there are 3 bedrooms and sleeps 6. We had everything we needed except a corkscrew. Very much enjoyed our stay.

Nicely decorated and comfortable cottage!

Nice location, less than a 10 minute walk to town/campus. Plenty of parking. The house was very clean, plenty of space for the four of us. The beds were very comfortable. The entire house was thoughtfully decorated w beautiful paintings. The kitchen was well stocked, the only thing missing was a corkscrew. We would absolutely recommend staying here! I’d love to come back.

Very clean and open.

I`m sorry to say that the air conditioning was a problem. It was in the 80`s in the house most of the nights. I know Amy tried and that things outside our control pop up but it was awfully hard to sleep.
