    Charming little place

    October 09, 2012

    Our family had to make a last minute trip to the area and found the Storybook Bunkhouse through recommendation from another B&B's manager. Paula, the owner, was not only helpful, but friendly and made our stay a great experience. We stayed at the 1-bedroom house fully equipped with washer/dryer, in suite bathroom, a small kitchen with dining area and a living room. The bed was so incredibly comfortable, and the sheets and comforter - I wanted to ask her where she bought those so I could get some for our house. Paula provided us with french bread, muffins and fresh fruits. There was a coffee maker, water and orange juice in the fridge. The owner's hospitality and the charm of the home will definitely bring us back again! Thank you Paula!

    Great Place to Stay

    September 04, 2012

    We thoroughly enjoyed our extended stay in the bunkhouse. Paula is a wonderful hostess who takes excellent care of her clients and the accommodations are great! Having a full kitchen and a washer and dryer was an enormous help and gave us a lot of flexibility. If you are looking for an outstanding place to stay in the country, we certainly recommend the Storybook Bunkhouse!

    Beautiful Weekend Get Away

    February 03, 2012

    Great place at a Great Rate. What a wonderful get away for the winter. The hospitality was wonderful. Watching the snow fall from the windows in the evening was beautiful. We are looking forward to coming back.

    Excellent Experience

    May 15, 2011

    My parents and I were visiting family in the area and rented the bunkhouse and the studio altogether. It was a perfect fit. Paula was so gracious, was ready with food for breakfast, and was always just a phone call away. We had a great time and I'd highly recommend it.

    Paula was a gracious host and the bunkhouse was so comfortable I hated to leave. If your in the Chardon area you need to check in at this place and you'll be glad you did...

    We stayed in the studio for several days while visiting family in the area, and were very pleased with the accommodations. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable, and the location is very quiet and peaceful. Paula provided a variety of fresh fruits, cereals, pastries, and beverages that made it easy for us to breakfast at our leisure, which was very nice. The entrance through the garage was a little off-putting the first time, but once we saw how nice the room was, that wasn't an issue. We ended up returning for a couple of extra nights because we were so pleased with the studio, and plan to stay again next year for our annual visit in the area!

    Cleveland Rocks!

    May 13, 2010

    My husband and I, along with our two best friends (also a couple), go on an anniversary trip together every year, and this year we stayed at Paula Horbay's Storybook Bunkhouse. It was perfect for us because in the bunkhouse there are two bedrooms and two baths, so we could be together while also having plenty of privacy. It's also super convenient and economical to have the little kitchen and the washer/dryer combo. Paula is an attentive, charming, personable and entertaining hostess and we had a wonderful time getting to know each other. We found travel to the local points of interest easy and picturesque - no trouble getting to and from the airport in good time, as well. Paula is extremely knowlegable about local events and the area in general. We went everywhere from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to the famous Amish store Lehmans with Storybook as our home base. In the mornings the lilacs were blooming, gorgeous and fragrant, and in the evening we barbecued on the outdoor grill and just had the best time. Thanks Paula!!
