Betty’s Homestead was so cozy and so clean! Our whole family felt right at home and had a wonderful stay. We loved reading about Betty and the history of the home in the articles on the wall as well. Beds were super comfortable and everything was in working order. We would definitely stay here again. One of our favorite Airbnb stays to date!

We stayed for 4 nights and it was great. Really calm neighborhood. The beds were really comfortable and all the rooms where clean. The kitchen was also really clean and had everything we needed. It was really nice!

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely place! The home was clean, cozy, and perfect for our family — even the kids absolutely loved it. A special thank you for the thoughtful surprise left for us in the fridge — such a kind and welcoming gesture. Highly recommended!

This is one of the Better Airbnbs I have stayed in. A lot of in unexpected extras come with this property that show the host really cares. If you want charm and the ability to accommodate several people, book this property. For us, we wanted a place close to cedar point and found the 20 minute drive perfect. Being able to enjoy a place like this made the experience that much more enjoyable.

My family LOVED this place! It felt like we were at Mackinaw Island and not in OH! Everything is so well accommodated and clean that the ambiance feels great when you walk right in. We will definitely be back to Betty's next time we go back to the parks.

Betty's Homestead is a delightful place to stay in Norwalk. It was so close to town, we were there for a wedding, and close to Cedar Point. It is cozy, spectacularly clean, and very comfortable.

I stayed with my granddaughters after a trip to Cedar Point. The youngest was thrilled with all of the history and the hanging map. The oldest loved the picture of Betty and loved wondering about how Betty managed the stairs. The house had plenty of towels and extra linen. I was concerned about the beds since firm mattresses were mentioned in earlier reviews. We all slept fine and found the beds to be comfortable. We did have trouble finding the house due to our late arrival. This was not a host issue, it was mine. In the dark we couldn’t see any house numbers. The house is in a nice neighborhood. Plenty of books and games if needed. The host stayed in close contact.

Talk about tidy! We came into town for a family wedding and all wanted to bunk together. This lovely older home did the trick. Clean as a whistle with enough room for all of us. It was a rainy weekend so we didn’t get outside to the fire pit, but you can feel the love this family had for Betty and their homestead. Sweet surprise in the fridge for us to enjoy. Very responsive, two minute drive to Downtown Norwalk for our festivities. So much history and modern touches in the home. Thanks for a great stay!

This was a great place for an extended family trip. Home is spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed many of the unique period architectural details of the home as well. Easily walkable to downtown Norwalk and convenient to the activities that make this area so wonderful!

We absolutely loved this place and loved the care with which the property and Betty’s story are curated. We all agreed that this was one of the best AirBnBs we have stayed with. Tom was very communicative with us and check-in was a breeze. The house was spotless and he even left us a s’mores kit and a gift in the refrigerator. What an amazingly thoughtful touch. The two kids in our group and the adults loved these presents. This is the perfect place to stay in the Firelands for those who love history, small-town charm, and a great AirBnB host. It’s in the middle of many cool places to explore on day trips (like Amish Country, Mohican State Park, Sandusky, the Lake Erie islands, and neat towns like Fremont and Milan). Please consider a stay here.
