This place is such a unique getaway. Somehow we were in town but felt like we were I. The country. There were deer at the back door and such a beautiful backyard. The home was so cozy and it was like a treasure hunt just walking around the home. Comfortable rooms. We just felt right at home. Communication with the host was easy and friendly.

This is a great property for a large group. Our family of 7 hosted a dinner for our relatives that live in town and there was ample room for us all. The host was extremely communicative with us our entire trip.

My bridal party and I decided that for my wedding we should all stay in a castle. We searched for a while, but when we found this house--it was too stunning not to just book. The place did not disappoint. Even without central air conditioning, the small units in the house kept the place cool in the record-breaking heat wave of June 2024. Susan was very sweet, and messaged me back promptly. We had a wonderful time, and captured some beautiful pictures for our first look. Definitely a place to book if you want a one-of-a-kind stay.
4.0 / 10.0
Stayed 4 nights. Expected much more for $$$. 1. heat wasn't turned on before arrival. 55°F in the house. Took 4 hours to finally heat up. 2. Listing is misleading. References multiple fireplaces, a Keurig, firepit, and outdoor furniture. Can't use the fireplaces (safety issue, understandable, but should say in listing), you have to buy your own coffee for the Keurig, buy your own firewood for the fire pit, and the outdoor furniture didn't have any cushions, so they weren't usable. For most people traveling, it doesn't make sense to go buy coffee pods and firewood for a few days. Most hosts would have some available. 3. The listing says there are 3 levels, and the Merlin's Man Cave is in the lower level, implying that bedroom is on the main floor. It's not, it's in the basement. One lady in our party does not do stairs well, so that was unfortunately misleading. Recommend to clarify on the listing. 4. The tower doesn't have a light switch on that level to turn off the lights. You have to turn on/off the lights at the bottom of the stairs, which is not helpful for walking up/down stairs and going to bed/waking up. There is also NO smoke detector for the tower room, making some of the ladies feel unsafe in the tower. 5. Host showed up at 10a.m. on check out day to set up the outside and garage for a party she was having later in the day. Check out is 11a.m! I've never had a host show up during a stay. Unprofessional Host is nice, and we fit 7 ppl, but overall disappointed

I ultimately chose this location because the home had a certain aesthetic! I was throwing a reunion for my older sister and her college friends. The house is beautifully furnished and in the warmer months would be excellent for outdoor relaxation! I definitely appreciated the labeled light switches, I live in an older house and understand that the electricity is often wired strangely in older homes. It made our guests laugh that the TV only worked if you turned on the sconces by the fireplace. We had a wonderful stay and created many memories! Thank you for up, keeping such a beautiful home

The location of the house is closer to the busy street than I expected from the pictures. We were able to move in a little early in an effort to beat the ranging winter storm. Unfortunately, the house was not winter ready before big storm hit. The Marks and our family members worked to get the house buttoned down. The last day we finally got the temperature right. It is an interesting property and has some very nice antiques. The roaming deer made an appearance the last day of our stay. The house needs a little TLC but nothing major. I will be following up with the host.

We had a great time staying the castle. Each room has distinct character, the yard is dynamite and we were no more than 20 minutes from every Cleveland location we wanted to visit.
