Excellent communication. Above and beyond my expectations, deck was so relaxing to sit on. A true home away from home. Absolutely loved they had brochures and lists broken down of the wineries that accepted dogs. Also what entertainment was at which winery. I could go on and on! Can’t wait to go back.

We stayed at the Yellow Dog Retreat for my sister's bachelorette weekend get-away. Our stay was absolutely perfect - the house and property are beautiful and we had everything we needed and more!!
Jeremy and Chelsey provided us with a bunch of tips as far as their favorite local bars and wineries and entertainment at each for the weekend. The property is right down the road from several wineries and only a 15 minute drive to the strip in Geneva - a very convenient location!
We also had the pleasure of meeting the dogs, Eddie and Brucey, and enjoyed all of the pictures of them throughout the house. Would absolutely stay here again in the future!

Very clean and nicely decorated! Owner very fast at communication. The only con of this house is 1 of bathrooms is on the ground floor where you enter the house at mudroom. Then you go up to main floor with kitchen/dining room and living room and 1 bedroom. Then up a flight of stairs to 3rd floor with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. Then up another flight (4th floor) with 3 more bedrooms. Lots of stairs for getting to a bathroom for most of the bedrooms. Hard for older people and someone with MS.

I wish I could give the owners and their property more than 5 stars! The house was beautiful, comfortable and had everything that we needed. The outside deck had a beautiful view and felt very private and comfortable. Jeremy checked on us everyday and their dogs baited daily as well - we enjoyed that so much! The house is located near so many beautiful wineries and only 15 minutes from Geneva on the Lake. I would recommend this property and owners to anyone thinking of visiting that area of Ohio and will definitely return!

The property is beautiful and full of character. It’s perfectly located to explore many local wineries. The beds were comfy. The special touches from the host were thoughtful. It is a peaceful gorgeous space and outdoor entertaining area. Jeremy was so accommodating and responsive. Will book this property again in the future.

This property couldn’t be better! The house was spotless, the decor charming and the outside, between the covered and uncovered deck, as well as a huge fire pit was beautiful! Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. The owners are BY FAR, the nicest I’ve come across since renting from VRBO. We will most assuredly be back!! Thanks again Jeremy and Chelsey! And special thanks to Eddie and Brucey!!

We all enjoyed the house and the outdoor space. The home was well furnished and clean. We spent most of our trip outside at the fire pit. Great spot will stay again if traveling back to area.

I've stayed in many places around Geneva on the Lake, this has beeny favorite. House was clean, beds were comfy, kitchen had everything you needed. The porch had tons of seating and the fire pit was well done with lots of seats and outdoor lighting. If there was any downside at all, be aware there are steps into the main area and bedrooms if steps are a problem for you. If not..... It's a perfect vacation location.

We stayed here to celebrate my wife’s birthday with her family, and we had wonderful experience. Weather was not too great during our visit but the backyard setup with bonfire and lighting made it easy to fall in love with this lovely property. Also, Jeremy and his yellow fur baby Eddie are the great host. Great communication and great hospitality. We would recommend to anyone who is looking for cute stay nearby Geneva on the lake wineries and enjoy family/friends gatherings.

Yellow Dog Retreat and the Grand River Valley is a hidden gem treat on the road between Midwest colleges (Marquette, Wisconsin, Michigan, Chicago, Notre Dame, Northwestern) and the east coast. We had a great time unwinding on the way home from college off at the many lovely vineyards in the area. The house is spotless and beautifully maintained. The back deck is extremely pleasant for relaxing with lots of space to read a book or enjoy a meal. Jeremy and Chelsea are experienced and thoughtful hosts who run a great show!
