"Absolutely amazing stay! Honestly, we were a little skeptical as we have never booked a house on Expedia. This place surpassed expectations in all regards, certainly compared to any other booking platform we have used - this host made it an amazing stay. The cottage has everything you need for a short or even extended stay. The area is safe, I felt perfectly comfortable walking my dog at night and early mornings alone as a small female. The only feedback I could give is to make the listing more...

"This hotel is very close to Cedar Point (a 2 minute drive) which made it very easy to access the park. We also loved the hour early access time that came with staying at this property. That extra hour was essential for us to ride rollercoasters that had very long wait lines. We did not use the pool, but many guests were using it. The only complaint we had was that the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night while we were at this hotel."
