Great stay

The house was perfect for what we needed. Check in was a breeze and the instructions for check out were clear making it very painless. The house itself is next to the square and close to all the amenities chardon has to offer.

Great place

This charming home was a perfect place for us to rest while visiting family for our niece and nephews graduation. Very kind owners, provided everything we needed and very communicative - appreciate all the history of the house and we appreciated the kindness shown with the fudge, and small goodie basket that provided any last minute things we forgot. We’d love to stay here again if we come back!

Cute place and great location

We had a fantastic stay! A cute house with a rich history and a convenient location, coffee or a bite to eat is within walking distance. Experiencing the tapping season and enjoying maple treats was a unique and delicious experience! We weren’t too far from local vineyards to visit during the ice wine festival. An enjoyable location and visit.

Wonderful Stay

We loved our stay at the Canfield House! The house was lovely, a great location, and perfect for our group. Mike and Lisa are wonderful hosts! We appreciated the kind note and goodies that they left for us—including cookies and little toiletry gift bags for each of us. Definitely would stay again if in the area.

Family visit to Chardon

The Canfield House was perfect for us because of its location just 5min from family we were there to visit as well as being so close to the sqare. It was very clean and there were plenty of local information phamplets provided. It’s good to note there is only one fill bathroom that is shared jack and jill style between the bedrooms, that worked for us, but others might find it awkward.

Beautiful accommodating home

This home is beautiful and in a perfect location just off Chardon’s downtown square. The home has a lot to offer and had tons of toys and games for the younger children we had come visit us during our stay. Which kept them busy and having fun. We were a little nervous with the toddlers as there are lots of unique and beautiful decor within reach of little ones but thankfully we didn’t have any mishaps

Country Weekend with Family

The Canfield House was perfect for our family gathering of 4 adults. It is conveniently located near the town square, and is in the center of northeast Ohio tourist activities. The house is in excellent condition, neat and clean, and well equipped, including a game room with a billiard table and lots of board games. An enjoyable long weekend.

Chardon's BEST!!

We could not be more pleased with our stay at the Canfield House, the owners literally did not miss one detail. Not one - it has everything you could want for a wonderful stay. The house itself is fantastic and much bigger than we had expected. It was cozy, comfortable and clean to a fault. We were simply amazed by the attention to detail - from the wonderful selection of coffees and teas to the helpful information about the area. This house has it all. The house is also just a few feet from Chardon square, shops and great restaurants. I would give this house and this house 10 STARS. If you are looking for a place to stay in Chardon, look no further - Canfield House and its Hosts is the best of best. We will without a doubt be back!!!

Lovely house

Everything was lovely. The house is clean and much bigger than I expected. It was nicely decorated. We came from different areas and there is plenty of parking. We mostly used the house to sleep but a couple in our party partook of some of the games and a couple others the selection of movies. My only complaint is that after paying a cleaning fee, you have to strip the beds and take the linens down to the basement and take out the garbage before you leave. This is my first Vrbo so maybe it is standard practice but it made checking out a little more onerous. I wouldn't take away a star for it though because everything else was so great. I would definitely stay again.
