The house was very clean. But had a couple complaints about the house. The tub is extremely old and is stained and has rust around drain. There weren't any extra blankets or even a extra throw blanket.Also 1 of the beds is very low to the ground.

Great home away from home!

The neighborhood was quiet and we felt very safe. The location is perfect. The house was comfortable and kitchen nicely stocked with cooking supplies. Me and my kids stayed for our Mother's Day weekend trip. Definitely recommend and we will stay again when we make another trip!

Berea Stay

Very nice place. Roomy and very clean. Location is great to go anywhere in the Berea area. Our car sits low to the ground so if you stay here be careful getting in and out of the driveway!

Lovely Laurel

Clean and neat home in the heart of Berea. Just the right size for two friends reuniting with a few others for a 40th reunion of a post-college volunteer program. Looking forward to renting again in the next few years!

Loved this house and quiet neighborhood

This is the 3rd time we have stayed in one of the Carpenter’s houses, but first in this house. Beautifully furnished and on a quiet street, this 2 bedroom ranch was comfortable and homey. We will always book with Laura and Leslie as we return yearly to our alma mater.

Guests Enjoyed.

Property clean and comfortable and my guests from Colorado and Oregon liked it very much and were very complimentary ..There is much need for a safety railing from side door into house. No matter age of anyone who visits here, it could be a definite fall hazard. I would recommend this property for those visiting Berea. Location is great, close to the things come to Berea to enjoy..

Just perfect for us

The little house was freshly renovated, very clean, well furnished and equiped. It is in a good central position for a stay in Berea and environment, even possible to reach grocery store, food without driving. German website mentions washing maschine, but there isn't. We enjoyed the stay very much and will definetely come back when visiting the family.

Lovely little house - poorly equipped

My husband, daughter and son in law travelled to Berea for a week long event. Proximity to the college was great, but we struggled with the lack of silverware, and glassware. There wasn’t a complete set of silverware so that four people could eat a meal together. There was a dishwasher, and they provided one dishwasher tab - so we had to buy dish soap and hand washed our dishes, glasses and silverware constantly! We stayed in late December, and we were cold in the night with not enough blankets so ended up bringing in the seat protector blankets from my car. Finally, in the back bedroom, there was only one working plug so I couldn’t charge my phone or use it as an alarm which was frustrating. We tried to reach to owner and she eventually responded but evidently isn’t local so didn’t offer solutions to our concerns.
