We booked this property to accommodate our large extended family for our son’s wedding in Akron. The house was perfect for all of us to get ready, share meals and relax together. We found the property over the top stocked. The pool was amazing and loads of fun. Even though it’s a Quiet setting we were convenient to everything! Jesse was super nice and responsive!

Every year, we find a place for five families to gather and hang out. There are 9 adults and 12 kids, ranging in age from 5-11. This was an absolute perfect retreat for us, and we didn't have to leave the property for 3 days! The pool was well maintained and had great options for shade and lounging and the garage space was great for eating meals outside. The inside was historic and well-kept. The many smart tvs were great for having movie nights, and keeping kids entertained when they needed a break from the pool. The owner was responsive and helpful.

We were in town for a Celebration of Life for our parents. This house provided the perfect venue for us to gather together with friends and family. The house and grounds had ample space that you didn’t feel cramped or crowded. The “Celebration Hall* (as we called the garage area) was a perfect place for meals, games or visiting. The pool was a welcome respite from the heat. Jesse was very responsive to any questions. Would totally stay here in the future.

I can't recommend this place enough. Absolutely beautiful house and property, that strikes the perfect balance between historic/rustic yet remodeled and clean. All the amenities were in perfect order, rules are very clear and helpful. Jesse was a pleasure to deal with. Loved my weekend here!

Our family booked four nights for a late family Christmas gathering. This house was perfect to fit our family. The lay out of the house was great, allowing for everyone to hang out together or have separate spaces for smaller conversations. The kitchen is well stocked and large enough to be a gathering place while preparing a meal together. The weekend we stayed was extremely cold outside. So, the 8th bedroom by the garage was not able to stay warm. With the air conditioner in the window, the cold air just blew in and the room was unbearably cold throughout our stay. So, if you're staying in the winter, maybe make other plans for sleeping arrangements. I would recommend this home for a large group gathering. It is a wonderful home.

Great place for large groups, especially families. The house never felt its age. We really enjoyed our stay. Lots of rules and procedures with costly penalties attached. Did not run into any issues though. Overall great stay and we would return.

Beautiful, historic home nicely decorated and updated. Great mudroom area for shoes, coats and supplies. Enough flatware, dishes and glasses for a crowd, lacks enough large pots and pans and some should be replaced. Unfortunately, house was very dirty. Showers had not been cleaned in a long time, mold, mildew, soap scum and hairs, sinks did not drain well. Carpets were stained, throw rugs noticeably dirty, debris not vacuumed. There were bugs inside (curious ladybug clusters in the corners upstairs, spiders). In the kitchen, the oven was extremely dirty, very difficult to move racks due to the buildup of grease and the light above the stove didn’t work which was challenging in a dark kitchen at Thanksgiving. There was hair in the silverware drawer and the garbage can was gross. Once you observe that the kitchen and bathrooms are not clean, you can’t help but wonder what else is not being cleaned, which is unsettling. The bedrooms are dark due to the orientation of the house, but had inadequate lighting and no dressers or place to put your things, so we lived out of our suitcases on the floor using cell phone lights to see. It felt more like a dormitory than an historic farmhouse. We did not let these shortcomings spoil a wonderful family gathering. However, a deep cleaning and more thorough cleaning between guests, better lighting and a few additional pieces of furniture in the bedrooms would significantly improve the guest experience at this beautiful old home.

I hosted a group of ten writers for a retreat at this property, and it was a beautiful and cozy space. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware and dishes for a crowd, the beds are very comfortable and there are plenty of extra pillows and blankets, and the hot tub and pool were delightful! Check-in was easy with a door code and clear instructions from the owner, and we were able to get in and make ourselves at home easily. I chose this rental due to its history and ties to the Sieberling family, since one of my writing clients has a book that references the family--seeing his face when I told him we were staying in F.A. Sieberling's childhood home was a 10/10 experience that added a bit of extra magic. Overall, this space was comfortable and cozy, had lots of seating for our group to gather together as well as find our own little nooks for privacy, and was close enough to stores and restaurants for us to feel like we were on retreat without being too far from those amenities.
