A perfect cozy spot for those spending time in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. It was 10-15 minutes away from the trailheads we wanted to visit and from downtown Penisula. The bed was comfortable, and the whole cabin was welcoming and beautiful.

Alas! The secret temple o the valle
I didn't stay in the cedar cabin, it was too cold and the roof was leaking when I scheduled so the wonderful host graciously offered me her much cozier "hobbit" house, which was essentially the same size but warmer. I have to say it was one if the coolest eco friendly houses I've ever stayed in! Really thoughtful attention to details such as the assymetric construction based on the layout of the slope and hillside. An inspiring example of how human structures can interact organically with, and even be enhanced by the natural world. All of this is only to say the host is a really welcoming, and vibrant individual and such a wonderful property is surely an extension of their warm artistry.

My husband and I had a great time staying in the cabin! There were a lot of thoughtful touches, and the architecture of the building is very cool. The check-in video was really helpful to navigate our way around. It was a very peaceful trip, especially surrounded by the gorgeous changing trees. Thanks for a great trip!

We had an unforgettable stay at the fairytale and Cobb cabin. It was conveniently located, very cozy and had great amenities! We loved meeting the resident cats and appreciated the fine details in and outside of the cabin including the string lights and glass featured wall where the bed was located. We were grateful for the tea kettle and electricity and were very comfortable in the bed. Melissa is so kind and made sure we had everything we needed! We also had a great time checking out the Virginia Kendall Park ledges which Melissa recommended and would have missed out on otherwise. Thanks so much!

Camping with cats.
I loved camping out on Melissa's land. Because I'm a dingus I forgot to book the whole weekend we actually had the full experience of staying in both areas. She was super accommodating, and both spots were perfect. Melissa and her ctas were the best hosts ever. She really went above and beyond for us, even telling us some cool hiking spots in Cuyahoga we just got back from. Plus there's cats! What more could you want?
