Conveniently located!
There was a lot of room in this clean home, and the house was very close to everything we could have needed in the Medina area. Interesting history to the home as well!

Great home for a large family stay
The home was great for hosting out-of-state family. Two beds are actual doubles vs. queens and sofa can only sleep one as it is not a pullout sofa. So occupancy is 9. Loved the character of this old home. Outside is a bit unkept, but inside is beautiful. We had a deer and two fawns in the backyard in the middle of town!

We went to Medina for the total eclipse. This property worked well for the 6 of us. Just enough beds and space. The girls loved the hoverboard.

Large house
My family and I stayed here during the weekend of my wedding, the house fit us all comfortably and fit all 5 of our cars in the driveway which was awesome. The house is definitely old and historic which leads to some of the doors not closing properly and the door handles falling off sometimes. Overall we had a great stay.

Cool historical home in a great location
We enjoyed our stay at this historical home in Medina. The location was great...just a few blocks from Medina's square. The bedrooms were nicely sized with comfortable beds. The listing states sleeps 10 but I don't see how that's possible as there wasn't a pullout sofa. I would say sleeps 9 at most with one person on the couch. The house had a nice kitchen space with all you could need (foil, plastic bags, soap, sponge, etc) and laundry room with detergent. The front and back yards were large so lots of room for the kiddos to run around. The fire pit was nice, and it came with wood but there are no outdoor chairs to enjoy the space. All in all, we liked this home and would stay again!

A step into history
The Huffman House is a treasure trove of 19th century history updated to accommodate a large group. The TV, Wifi and modern appliances were happily utilized. The layout with its huge dining room, working kitchen and generous bedrooms reminded me of a movie set for a story set in the Gilded Age. The host was helpful and accommodating. Very clean with easy house rules to follow.

Charming old home in Medina
Great place for a group to gather. Walking distance to shops and places to grab coffee or dinner. The owners have worked hard to decorate with period pieces and upgrade the bathrooms. Having a washer and dryer was a plus. The house did not have central air, but the room units worked great! Plenty of parking behind the house. We couldn't find the pack and play, but I thought it was too late to bother the owner. The floors looked clean, but turned the kids feet black. I would recommend this house.

As advertised, older home which has some amazing beauty to it. Stayed with my young children and it was perfect. Great location, spent a few days in Medina square getting ice cream and shops, easy process, friendly owners, all positive from our experience. Lots of room in house and I would stay here again definitely.

We enjoyed our stay in this nice and quiet neighborhood. Could not see a house number so at first we had a little bit of trouble finding the house. Overall it was a very good experience.
