Quick stay

We needed a nice facility for sleeping as we were joining a family at another location. We couldn't have been more pleased with this rental. The owners obviously put serious thought into both the layout and the construction. So, so many thoughtful details- we were very impressed.

A Real Gem!

My wife and I booked the brand new home for a short week and were very impressed. The host delivers on all promises, was great to deal with and extremely prompt in their communications. With its pristine attributes, beautiful/comfortable luxury leather recliners and sofa, thoughtful lighting, and well equipped kitchen, the home was so inviting it made us wish for a long relaxing “rainy day” at what felt like home. Regardless of weather, after a full day at the lake, the loft king bedroom was so welcoming it lulls you to sleep,,,, and encourages sleeping in. We will definitely be returning to this Refined Retreat!

Appropriately Named

We have stayed at numerous rental properties around the country and this is now our favorite. Newly renovated and recently available, we were one of the firsts to enjoy this place. Just a fanatastic job in the design, layout and decorating done on this property. It's a perfect set-up for two people with the king bed, full bath and walk-in closet on the loft level. On the main level, you can convert the couch into a sleeper and there is another full bath and laundry behind the kitchen.We were only there for sleeping and breakfast. Celeron is conveniently located between Jamestown and Lakewood with plenty to do and see in the area.We are hoping to use this place frequently in the future when in town visiting family!

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. As noted in our listing and house rules prior to booking, our property has a strict no-pet policy. Unfortunately, during your stay a pet was brought into the home, which required an additional cleaning process to prepare the space for future guests. The cleaning fee was applied in accordance with the house rules agreed to at the time of booking. We work hard to maintain a clean and comfortable environment for all guests, including those with allergies who rely on our no-pet policy. We appreciate all guests who take the time to review and follow the house rules to help us keep the home in the best condition possible.

I am from Pa, my husband and I fell in love with the area 6yrs ago. We bought this when it was condemned and rebuilt from ground up ourselves. (hence 6yrs ago lol)

Why they chose this property

We chose here because we loved the lake, the park down the street, and most importantly everyone waved to us as we walked the area that made us feel at home.
