My husband and I stayed at the Clifford House during Christmas last year for three nights. It really was like our home away from home. We loved our host, Jim, and his coonhound Sherlock (he let us "borrow" the dog for walks and we had great fun with him). We stayed on the third floor in the spacious Schneider Suite. The reason I gave the room four stars instead of five is that it was a very cold time of year and it got pretty chilly (more blankets?), but we used the fireplace one night and that made it incredibly toasty and cozy. The furniture and decor is beautiful and interesting without being the least bit fussy or old-lady-ish. Breakfast was delicious each morning we were there. Ohio City is a great historic neighborhood, though as some reviews have alluded to, it can be sketchy at night (another reason it was so great to walk with Sherlock!) The neighborhood is full of beautiful old homes and great restaurants like Heck's. Very short drive to downtown and Lake Erie. I simply adore Clifford House and look forward to our return!
