Clifford House
-
A Landmark home in Ohio City, built in 1868 with an 1890 third floor addition. After a day of traveling, my guests love the convenience of simply walking to some of Cleveland's best and most popular bars and restaurants. Public transportaion, supermarket and the West Side Market are all in walking distance. Only 1.5 miles to downtown Cleveland.
Watch the world go by on the veranda.
Ahhh, the dining room..."and I enjoyed everyone of those breakfasts!" ~ A guest departing after several days at Clifford House. Home-made and all American favorites. Fresh ground organic coffee, bakery breads and meats from the West Side Market accent the morning.
Morning breakfast is in the formal dining room.
Dawn, early spring.
Sherlock, the most popular dog in the neighborhood.
Albert Withington Room: Named after the banker who built the house in 1868; he had no idea how many guest would be staying in his room! A desk area, fridge and wireless internet add to your comfort. The shared bath is just across the hall.
The Schneider Suite tops off the home w/priv bath, sofa/seating area, fireplace, microwave, fridge, coffee maker, stereo and free wireless. The most popular and larger than some apartments my friends a say! The sofa (not a pull-out) suffices for a third guest on occasion.
The Hart Room is the most economical with antique double bed, cable TV and free wireless. Shared bath is across the hall.
The cozy 3rd level bedroom in the Madison Extended Stay Apt. Features quality mattress in double bed, cable TV and free wireless internet. Roll-away in the the landing around the corner, full bath and closet make this a nice master suite.
Madison 2 level Apt looking at dining room into full kitchen.
Madison Apt first level of two. Queen sleep sofa has an extra mattress pad for added comfort. Additional 1/2 bath on this level makes for easy sharing of the apt for couples or 2 business persons.
he 2 level, self-catering Madison Apt with separate entry. Full kitchen, foyer, living w/queen sleep sofa, dining, and half bath on first level. Full bedroom w/new queen bed (2012), bath and roll-away on second level. A house within a house. Perfect for nightly and weekly business travelers, couples and or families. Monthly rates offered.
Sherlock keeping an eye on breakfast!

"Jim...makes a mean pancake breakfast and is an expert on Cleveland" ~The New York Times. "Awesome historic home in a wonderful historic city. Jim is the perfect host..." ~bed and breakfast guest review. In the heart of the urban, historic neighborhood across the river from downtown. In walking distance to some of the BEST locally owned restaurants and brew pubs. Walk to buses, train, the Cleveland Indians!

Truly outstanding experience. I wanted to book another stay within hours of being a guest. The private apartment was comfortable, charming, and very relaxing. Within moments of walking through a beautiful neighborhood we were within a range of local breweries and restaurants. Will definitely go back again!

We loved everything about the Clifford House! Jim was very knowledgeable about the neighborhood, pointing out great restaurants and places to shop. The Clifford House itself is homey and comfortable without being pretentious, which we prefer. We were made to feel welcome and couldn't have asked for a better experience! We loved Sherlock and Wesley, too - who were quiet most of the time and no bother whatsoever :-) Thanks Jim!

We spent a wonderful long weekend recently at the Clifford House. The breakfasts are magnificent, ample and delicious, served in a beautiful dining room. On Sunday we got the special china! The rooms are clean, comfortable and an excellent value and we felt very welcome there. We will definitely return. Also, the rejuvenated Ohio City neighborhood is a gem. Lots of lovely old houses, the West Side Market and many excellent restaurants are within easy walking distance.

July 06, 2011
Our visit to "Clifford House" on an icey day in Cleveland was warmed by the hosts smiling face & his great attitude. He led us to our rooms & we were impressed with the cleanliness & the homey atmosphere. This is our third visit to "Clifford House" & we find the breakfast & lunch delicious & plentiful & we are sure our host must be a former chef! Sherlock, the dog, is a quiet sentinel & never in the way but will appreciate a pat on the head or just a "talk".

The Withington shares my bath. Very comfortable 4 poster queen bed offered at a more modest price than my other two rooms. Fully equipped, clean, good sixed bathroom is right across the hall as per most standard residential layouts. There is a half bath on the first floor just in case. Since I do not have large amounts of guests at one time, this shared bath has rarely presented an issue. (there is always that one time!...another story)

This large grand high ceiling room is the most popular for singles and couples. Almost like your own apartment and larger some New York Apartments as my guests comment! I need to update my photos soon to show the bed frame. Existing mattress is fine but planning on an upgrade this spring. Central air in summer. Fireplace use limited to dura-flame logs for safety.

5 out of 5Great food, Great conversation
July 06, 2011
My wife and I stayed at the Clifford House for a nice get-away weekend. Our room was larger than I expected and the conversation with Jim was superb. Jim knows the area extremely well and can give you direction and advice for anything you might like to see or do. There are lots of fun and interesting shops nearby (walking distance) and an open air market as well as some very good restaurants (try The Olde Angle...great Irish fare). Jim's breakfast was excellent and a much larger selection than anticipated. Vivian the cat is no longer with Jim, so if you are concerned about allergies, you don't have to worry. However, Sherlock is still there and enjoys the guest's company. Thank you for a wonderful stay Jim!

July 05, 2011
Awesome historic home in a wonderful historic city. Jim is the perfect host who will give you excellent information about the local and greater Cleveland area. For 'Foodies' this is the ultimate place to stay in Cleveland...start at the Westside Market and work your way out to pleasing Ohio City restaurants and brew pub and onward to Cleveland's fine restaurants. I love staying here and plan to come back again and again!
4.6 out of 5A sweet surprise
February 10, 2011
The Clifford house is warm, friendly, and inviting. The interior design of the rooms is fabulous and made me feel right at home. Breakfast was spectacular and there was enough variety for anyone to enjoy a meal. The location of the Clifford House is ideal, being close to the highway and within walking distance of a grocery store. My only complaint with the Clifford House would be the overly friendly dog Sherlock, but perhaps that was because I am not a dog person.
3.4 out of 5I have high expectations
December 30, 2010
We really enjoyed Clifford House when we stayed there recently. The house was really well refurbished, Jim was very nice, and our room was big, interesting and cozy. I gave it mostly "met my expectations" because it looked really nice on the web site, and it was! Sorry if I'm confusing the ratings.
