Great stay

Great home close to downtown Bluffton. House was well maintained that allowed for a relaxing time to visit with family. Enjoyed the evening on the porch just soaking in the quiet surroundings. When back in Bluffton, will look for a stay here before looking at one of the hotels in town.

My family and I were in town for a funeral this week, and this was the perfect family home to stay in during these unfortunate circumstances. This property was exactly as listed, clean, and perfect for our stay in Bluffton. Hosts were attentive. Would recommend!

Great Stay in Bluffton

This house is a great option if you are looking to stay in Bluffton. It's a spacious and nicely decorated home that accommodated our whole family (young children to adults). The host, Michelle was very accommodating. We always look forward to staying in this house when we visit the Bluffton area.

Great House With Plenty of Room in the heart of Bluffton

My husband & I stayed to "scope out" this property in advance as we intend to return again to host a birthday party for my mom here. We'll have more family with us then, so the spacious bedrooms will be great for kids & grandkids traveling with us, and the living space is perfect for the 80th birthday party open house we intend to host. Easy access to groceries & under 30 minutes from Ft. Wayne, which is the closest large city (and airport).

Perfect House for Family Visits

My wife and I decided to make our usual Bluffton visit a longer stay this Spring. The town and property is the perfect place for other out-of-town family to join us. We enjoyed the home's open layout, roominess, convenient location, quiet neighborhood, tasteful decor and newer appliances (especially the combo Drip/K-Cup coffee maker). And the master bedroom being on the main floor was a plus for us seniors. The nice patio was great for soaking up some afternoon sun. A welcome change from the motel. We will definitely return!

reuniting with cousins

Five cousins got together for a partial reunion. We had a great time and the property was even better than expected. There was plenty of room and the home was well taken care of and very clean. Everything we needed worked and the property is conveniently located. It didn't take more than 5-10 minutes to get to anywhere local you wanted to go. Also loved the neighborhood. While it was an older neighborhood, the homes seemed to be well maintained. And, all of the big, older homes gave me a feeling of another time.....years past.

Rented for an 80th Birthday Party

We had the best stay. This was our second visit to the Bluffton house, the first being to check it out for potential use to surprise my Mom w/an 80th Birthday party. Accommodations are super comfortable & the hosts very responsive. In fact, I awakened the morning of the surprise party to find an unexpected 3 inches of snowfall. I was concerned about elderly people walking on the snow and ice, and before I could even think about how I was going to set safety measures in place, the host arrived to shovel snow & lay down ice melt. The party went off great & during a 2 hour time frame we had close to 50 people come & go. There was always plenty of room for folks to sit & chat if they wanted and as usual there was a congregation in the kitchen. Just like home! If we travel to Bluffton again with our kids/grandkids, this will be the place we rent as the 4 bedrooms are spacious and nicely decorated.
