It has something here for everyone…read more The trails are beautiful and range from easy to more moderate, so whether you want a relaxing walk or a bit of a challenge, you can find it here. It is one of those places that reminds you not to underestimate Ohio's natural beauty. There are hiking challenges too you can sign up for prizes. There is a really cute nature themed playground that is perfect for kids. This place also makes an amazing venue for events. You can rent spaces for parties or weddings, which is my dream venue. The welcome center is one of my favorite parts. They have live animals that are very well cared for, including rehabilitated raptors, which is so cool to see up close. There is also a large gift shop, a cozy lounging area, and coffee from Coffee Emporium available to buy. It is a great place to relax and take everything in, especially if you enjoy birdwatching. They also host seasonal events, and their Christmas lights event is one of my favorites. It really brings the whole place to life in a special way. The staff here are consistently kind, welcoming, and genuinely happy to talk with you. They are always willing to answer questions and make the experience even better. Overall, this is such a peaceful, educational, and well maintained place. Definitely somewhere you can keep coming back to and still enjoy every time.

They had to take out an old treadmill from our basement, up the stairs through a small hallway and they did it without scratching anything! They were nice and good with our dogs also.

They did a fine job of removing the few items we needed junked. Expensive for the 15 minutes total…read moreof work and time spent at our home. $401. We were supposed to get an estimate but never received one. They showed up for the job and that's what was charged for the small amount of items removed and small amount of time that was needed for the job. Also - do you ever wonder how they have so many reviews or that the workers are almost always named? Mostly all on the big search engine. It's because they pull up the review page on their own device and tell you to write the review - right then and there in your driveway - after running your credit card on the device, that just looks like their personal cell phone. That's exactly what they did to my husband. Also made him take a picture of them to use in the review.

The Brewhaus Bakery is an adorable storefront in the heart of downtown Madeira. They supply not…read moreonly dogs, but also humans, with very tasty treats and even some gifts! Upon walking in you get the feel of a cozy gift shop and bakery combined. There is some pretty awesome dog decor all around. So much to see... there are all kinds of gifts and goodies from local vendors around the perimeter walls. How about some local honey or chocolate for you, and an adorable bowtie for your pet?! Then there is the real star, the dog biscuits. They are handmade from spent grains (at the end process of beer brewing) from many local breweries. Each bag lists what brewery the spent grains are from, and the tag names the staff member that made them! Who could forget to mention that the whole purpose of this business is non for profit. They employ special needs adults, and do programs with special needs teens! Everyone here was very kind and helpful. The final high point for me personally, of course, is the human treats! They have a baker who is very talented. I took home a maple oat scone, which was delicious! This is a great place to indulge for yourself, your pet, and find some great gifts for any occasion while supporting a good cause and shopping local!!!

The absolute BEST place to adopt a dog in Cincinnati…read more Yes, they may go over your background with a fine tooth comb, but it's only because they care. (That's a GREAT thing...) The process really isn't that difficult or lengthy, it's simple. Remember adopting is a big life decision and owning a dog takes paitence! In comparison to the SPCA and others, STAF actually takes the time to make sure every pet is super healthy and well groomed. I was amazed at how much care they give their rescues. They REALLY work hard on behavior issues and training too. The effort their volunteers put in is beyond outstanding. These people are true people pet. Adopt a dog from STAF or go pay them a visit. You'll know why STAF deserves far more than 5 stars!

Only good things to say about STAF having adopted several cats there over many years. Recent…read moreadoption was a previously adopted cat returned after a rather traumatic home situation. Volunteers (Jean, Amanda, Julie, Amy) were so helpful, supportive, friendly. I can't praise them enough. In just 5 days my "scaredy" cat has left his hiding place, explored the house and is happily settling in. I think this reflects the good care he received at STAF while awaiting a new home.

This Salvation Army thrift store has easily been one of my favorites over the years. Their prices…read morehave stayed very consistent, and I almost always leave with at least one thing I genuinely love and end up taking home. One of the most fun perks about this location is that the home goods section is color coordinated. It makes browsing really enjoyable, especially if you're looking for a specific aesthetic or color palette. There's also a home goods section that features nicer pieces, like vintage items, crystal, and more elevated finds. I usually find something I like there. Some of those items are priced a bit higher, but nothing ever feels outrageous. Overall, this store has some of the best thrift store pricing I know. There's a small book section as well, and I've found a lot of textbooks and similar finds that I like to thrift and use as "academic inspired" decor, which I love. There's also a furniture section with some nicer pieces. I've seen people reserve furniture they like, which is great because you can purchase it and come back later to pick it up instead of having to haul it out immediately. The store also has a wall dedicated to framed art, and the rest of the center of the store is mostly clothing. I don't browse the clothing every visit, but I've found plenty of great workout pants, including name brands like Ralph Lauren, as well as cute sweaters such as vintage Halloween or seasonal themed pieces. There are also a few racks with more high end clothing if you want to look through those specifically. They almost always have some kind of deal going on, usually with a certain color tag discounted, which makes it fun to hunt for extra deals. As for the staff, there is one woman who works there regularly who is incredibly kind. She always greets you when you walk in and lets you know what the discount color of the day is. While I can't say every staff interaction has been outstanding, my experiences with her have been consistently great. One thing to note is that this location is often very low on bags, newspaper, and wrapping materials. If you want to make sure all of your items make it to your car safely, I'd recommend bringing your own bags just in case. They also always seem to be in need of bag donations, so if you have extras at home, it's a great place to drop them off. Overall, this is a thrift store I always enjoy coming back to and one I'd definitely recommend checking out.

You are probably worried about two things right now if you are reading this review... first, you…read moreare worried you may have some kind of mold or water problem. Secondly, you are probably worried a professional coming in to "help you" will also be taking advantage of your situation to maximize their profit. We had a fantastic experience with Nick Alley from Dry Effect. He came in, gave a very thorough investigation, taught us a bunch about what to look for and how to prevent future issues. He gave us great options for both professional and home remediation approaches, and the pros and cons of each. Nick went way above and beyond helping diagnose one of the problems we found that looked like a water/mold issue, but that was actually unrelated. Something that they wouldn't make a penny on from fixing. We have since chased it down, and he was spot on with his diagnosis. It felt like a real partnership with a company I could trust. I am sorry if you need them, and I hope I never need them again. But if I do, I won't hesitate for a *second* to call them back in.
