Great spot for great price with awesome hosts

My friend and I drove to Mansfield for photography purposes and had been looking everywhere for a place with 70s style and decor. We didn’t end up staying the night because we live so close but the place is awesome and Barb is very kind and helpful!

Fun rental outside of Mansfield!

This was one of the best VRBO stays we've had! The decor was whimsical and fun, the unit was very clean and bigger than we'd expected, and the coffee bar and included items were so thoughtful. The area is quiet, yet still very close to Mansfield. Awesome stay!

Our getaway

We had a nice little getaway! Place was cozy with such a cool vibe. It had everything that you would need and the property was beautiful. The outlets in the kitchen and part of the bathroom did not work, we did inform the owner when he was on the property. It was not a huge deal to us as we were only there for a short period.

Fun Property!

My wife and I traveled from Granville to Mansfield to have dinner at Prohibition at the Caves. The property was beautifully decorated, very clean, perfect amount of room to relax. It was stocked better than any property I've ever rented from VRBO! Literally everything you might need. I'm going to tell friends about this experience, they need to see it!

Christmas in July 70’s Style

This was a surprise for my sister and daughter. When they walked in their jaws dropped, they loved the feel and decor. We were able to cook dinner, play games and spend time together as a family. Very convenient location to sight see in Mansfield. Host was quick to communicate and answer questions. We loved our stay in the throwback 70’s house! Highly recommend!

Great location & host

Close to everything we needed but out in the country. House was as described. Host put a lot of effort into making this a throwback experience to the 70’s. Like in the other reviews if you forget anything the house will have it. We had our 4 frenchies and Cane Corso with us and we had plenty of room. Tough to travel when we want to take our extended family but this house was great for us. I didn’t notice any dog orders and neither did my dogs which is always a plus. One thing I would point out is this a split rental with another rental upstairs which we looked at it was a throwback to the 50’s and was really nice as well. If traveling here or just passing by good accommodations and a good host.
