Great place to stay

Newly refurbished, clean, nice, comfortable, convenient, affordable, good base of operations/activities in Dayton Ohio and surrounding communities. Our 4 year old granddaughter now refers to it as her Ohio home.

Enjoyed Our Stay

The property was easy to find, easy to enter, close to everywhere we went. The house is well supplied, nicely decorated, and very welcoming. The owners provided useful information on the house/appliance and the greater Dayton area.

Ohio Trip

Great place to stay. Everything you could want is near by. Air Force Museum was only a couple of miles away. Kroger around the corner. Many parks and places to visit NY within about 20 miles at the most.

Great getaway.

Girls bowling tournament weekend. Was great location for us, for both alleys. House was perfect for us to spend our down time in. Large enough to give us room and quaint enough for us to socialize in the evening. Thanks for the perfect place.

Friends Quiet Reading Weekend

My best friend and I came to town to visit a nearby bookstore and to just spend time together and read books. This house was perfect and exactly as shown here. It was very clean, well taken care of, amazingly comfortable couch to curl up on, soft towels, the list goes on. We used the guide left by the owners for some dinner recommendations, and those were great as well. I would definitely stay here again if I were in the area.

Convention Stay

The house was immaculately clean upon arrival and the neighborhood was very quiet though close to the Highway. I was in town for a conference at Dayton Convention Center and this was a great place to meet and swap the kids with my parents and spend family time for a day. There’s a great cabinet of games, and some toys that I wasn’t expecting, and the book of where to eat and things to do proved very useful, we went 3 of the recommended places and they were all excellent. I didn’t communicate with the hosts so I can’t comment on how responsive they are, but the place was well kept and check in and check out was extremely easy and straight forward. If this same conference is held in Dayton next year, I hope to be back.

Great place, convenient and quiet.

My wife, two children ages 16 and 9 travelled to Dayton for NCAA. We have had rentals in Florida, so we have an idea of what the owners are challenged with. They location is in a quiet neighborhood, seemingly safe and I wouldn’t change anything about the house. It was organized is a user friendly plug and play design with added comfort and many, many great ideas for the convenience of guest. We ate ate the old water mill near cedar like (great breakfast), stone cold ice cream down town at night with bridges lit up and hit the mall at Fairfield. WPAFB if you have ID. We played games, tried to work out some brain teaser puzzles. I beat the box snake (with assistance from you tube). Lol Great place! Highly recommended!! Thanks to the owners for taking the stress out of our trip!!

The whole weekend got ruined

Want to file a complaint and want a full refund!!!!! I had to take cold showers the whole weekend, there was barely any water coming out the faucets, I had to pay to have a tow company put a spare tire on my car cause my car got stuck in the driveway after they said they’d clear it out, and we couldn’t throw the trash away and we spent half the night waiting for a tow company before we even started our stay I want a full refund!!!!

AMAZING!

We stayed 3 wonderful nights. This house is a shining example of a VRBO property: beautiful, comfortable, private, clean, quiet. It's a newly renovated home with plenty of closet space. Comfort abounds. The shared bathroom is fantastic and large, while the master shower is quite small, but has plenty of space around the sink for toiletries and makeup. Great wifi that had plenty of bandwidth. Our T-mobile phones had very few cell bars, so we easily connected to wifi. A long driveway fit our cars. The neighborhood is very nice, so on-street wasn't any problem for our pickup truck. The shaded backyard patio is lovely and we enjoyed it! The instruction binder was fantastic and filled with everything you need to know during your stay. This was an exceptional binder, not just a few handouts. Snacks, coffee, full kitchen, comfortable seating and beds, Alexa music, and a games closet, too! The decor is absolutely beautiful!! We had a great time visiting Dayton, thanks to this amazing VRBO stay. 5 stars isn't enough.

March Madness stay

This home was nice in a good location for what I was doing, had a nice patio and grill area. The sheets were very soft and comforters as well, better than most. The home has been updated nicely. A few points that I overlooked there are only 2 tvs in the home so bedroom 2 and 3 have no television. Using the television was tricky at first as it is all online only and I don’t have YouTube tv so I had to figure it out during March Madness👎. The master bathroom is nicely updated however the shower is small and if you are claustrophobic hang it up. At first glance I didn’t think it even had a shower as the door blocked it. The toilet in the master bath had not been cleaned but in the owners defense I didn’t complain I just cleaned it, the rest of the house was spotless so someone may have just forgot. The sidewalk to the front door is busted up so you can’t roll luggage on it but I just took the luggage through the back. The kitchen area was updated clean and had everything we needed. I will definitely recommend this property especially if you don’t fall asleep with a television on. I will add this to my favorites for the next trip to Ohio. Communication with owners before trip was easy and they responded quickly.

Perfectly Comfortable and Clean

My spouse, 2 daughters and I stayed at this perfect little home in Riverside while visiting family in Dayton for the Thanksgiving holiday. The house had everything we needed and more. They even provided pre-loaded laundry detergent in the washer for us to use. The kitchen was fully stocked. The kids each had their own room, and the beds were very comfortable. The open living and dining room was very comfortable and aesthetically pleasing as well. The home was very clean and nicely decorated. We would love to book here again on our next trip to the Dayton area.

Very comfortable, very clean, loved our stay

This home is wonderful. Perfect for our visit to the University of Dayton for parent's weekend. The house is completely refurbished/remodeled. It is very clean and comfortable. On most days it took us less than 15 minutes to get to campus. We were extremely pleased with every aspect of this home.

Clean, comfy home

We stayed here for the Air Force Marathon. The house was very cute and comfortable. The only thing I’d recommend is if you have anyone that is light sensitive, they need to sleep in the Master bedroom. The flood lights on the carport are triggered by cars driving past the house. The light bleeds around the curtains and brightens up the back bedrooms during the night. Other than that, beds are comfortable, plenty of items to cook with, and great back yard for grilling!

Comfy, quaint, and affordable!

This house was like a home that I would live in. It had several needed/wanted items that are nice to have while traveling. My wife and I and our two adult sons stayed here during our family reunion that took place nearby. It was nice to come to at the end of the day. The owners were very nice as well!
