Jess's Place

05/17/2026

A bittersweet end:
Our last Jess's Place Airbnb group was booked by Jess (see picture)... The week of Jessica Steiner's birthday. (May 19th).
Jess, your legacy and story has reached beyond what we even know. It was a privilege to use your house, decorated how you left it, to welcome many individuals and families to Orrville. As our final guest so perfectly put it,
"This was perfect. I feel honored to have stayed in Jess’s place. She gathered family from Ohio, NY, and CA to celebrate a happy occasion... I hope the next owners love the house and fill it with joy and laughter."
(Shared with both Jess and Jess's permission 😉)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
It was her favorite time of the year.
We owe it to her 😁

If that doesn't speak to how special this place is to us...I don't know what does!

BUT, we also could never have reached this goal without such amazing groups that love and care about Jess's Place equally as much!

We are grateful!

Last minute need for a guest to stay, means you pull together extra help to clean and finish top to bottom in an hour!

This review sums up why we do what we do. 1) We fiercely loved Jess. 2) Desire for others to see, know, and understand the importance of family and spend all the time they can with them. 3) And desire to be a blessing to the community and those beyond. It's why we make sacrifices and work so hard to provide a clean, comfortable, and flexible space.

My mom just commented this morning:
"Two years ago when our green beans just started growing, I picked a hand full of green beans and cooked them just for her because she LOVED them! I promised her that the following day I would pick the whole patch and make sure she got a healthy portion. Little did I know that would be her last meal."

Today we remember her laughter, her love for life, her desire to improve herself and how much we so so miss her! We know that she not only touched our lives and those around her, but also touched many of the lives that have come through her house. If we would have told her two years ago that her life was gonna bless so many people, she would have laughed at us :) We are forever grateful to all the amazing guests we've had walk through her doors. Not only have you encouraged us and inspired us, you've also cared and loved on a place we love so dearly. We couldn't do Jess's Place without each one of you!

We do not understand the why.
But, we do understand the pain of losing someone.
Instead of planning her annual "birthday at the park" (with no singing permitted by her), we sat around her dining room table sharing in the grief and pain of yet another individual taken too soon.
Two years later, still hurts like yesterday.
Like my husband so beautifully put it this morning:
Grief isn't a circle in life that gets smaller as the years go by. It stays the same size but life starts to grow around that circle. I would like to believe, that a little sprig of life sprouted around that circle this morning.
