Adorable House!
It's a beautiful house—spotless, comfortable, and with a lovely fenced backyard that's great for dogs and humans. The house was well-stocked with all amenities. Most importantly, I liked the location (good restaurants and outdoor activities) and the security (alarm). I highly recommend it."

What an amazing find! My husband and I stayed at the property with my parents during a family wedding weekend. Karen and George have truly thought through every detail imaginable.

Friends Getaway...#5
We are a group of 3 couples who do a Friends Weekend once a year. This was our 5 stay together. We had a fantastic time at Sentimental Stay. What a great house!! Everything exceeded our expectations. George & Karen thought of everything. We arrived to a personally written welcome note & a box of treats from a local bakery. The home is spectacularly clean & beautifully decorated. The amenities & personal touches were top-notch all throughout the home. We had a wonderful time & would highly recommend Sentimental Stay to anyone looking for a great spot to stay in the Mentor area.

Sentimental Cottage is beautifully done and well thought out for guest comfort and accessories for personal needs and functionality in the cottage. We would definitely love to stay in the future. There are also a park and walking trails behind the property that are very well maintained and safe. The Host communication was excellent! Responsive, informative, and timely. We also chartered a fishing trip with Chagrin Valley Charters—you will never be disappointed by Captain Nick (owner/operator) all around great family trip! Thank you George and Karen!

Absolutely perfect!!
I don't think I could say enough good things about our stay at this wonderful property! We were ready to move in after one weekend there! It had absolutely everything we needed. We will 100% be booking here again for future visits. Here is a rundown of how well this location fit our various needs: Grandma (80s): Especially because of mobility issues, she loved that everything she needed was located on the first floor. Other than entering and exiting or wanting to go out on to the LOVELY porch room, she was able to get around very easily on her own. It was also nice for her to have a bathroom to herself. Mom/Dad (50s): Our favorite room was the porch room. We had lovely spring/summer weather while we were there, but being able to turn on air and still have the outside light and views was wonderful. We also loved how stocked the kitchen was with items we could use to cook at home. The back patio with outdoor seating was a lovely surprise! We thought there was only a firepit area. Having BOTH was awesome. Daughter (20s): She loved having a space to herself upstairs AND a shower of her own. She appreciated that there was a fan waiting in that room for extra air movement. Dog: He loved having a backyard which was fenced in making it both safe and homey. He was very happy to be included in the trip and grateful he was accepted in the house :) He couldn't smell that any other guests had been there, because the house was so clean and sparkly! Awesome spot!

The house was absolutely perfect. We had everything we could need and more. The first floor bedrooms were perfect for my grandparents as well as my partner and I. We could have our separate space away from the younger people. The kids could go play down stairs or outside and not have to be in the same area as us. My grandparents don’t have any other reason to go down but they want to come back to this house. 10/10
