May 4, 2025 Liked: Communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy #### Needs work Property is in good location, however; entire property needs work. A drawer is missing in the refrigerator as well as the shelf on the door. The exterior of property needs work. The decor throughout the property is cheap. The interior door from the garage to the house door knob is broke door will not remain closed. ##### Nicole B. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberly S. Aug 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great communication & great value I stayed here with a group for about a week. The house was clean and located in a quiet area with lots of parking. We really enjoyed hanging out in the large, lovely backyard. The house isn't fancy and could maybe use some updating, but it worked well for us and was an excellent value. We brought an extra air mattress with us to sleep 8 guests, as there were really only 7 spots to sleep including the couch. Jason was extremely communicative and responded very quickly to any questions or issues, including sending someone out immediately to assist when we had an issue with the door lock. All in all, a very nice stay -- thank you! ##### Kimberly S. Stayed 9 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne R.

Dec 30, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### It served our purpose. The place certainly would not sleep 8 (as advertised). 6 comfortably (assuming that a bunk bed is considered comfortable). Not enough kitchen equipment. ##### Edwin B. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Jana H. Aug 19, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Cute and comfortable, an okay stay! We were in town for a family wedding and the location for all our activities was good. The VRBO listing said it was a no smoking rental, but we found that not to be true! It had obviously had smokers in the house before. Luckily, we were gone from the rental for family activities daily and only there to sleep. We had difficulty with the TV in one bedroom that was not resolved. We couldn’t get the number keypad to work even after they reset it a few times. No one came out to check it and it never worked, so others could not enter unless I was present to unlock with my August Home app. I asked to have my daughter added to the app and couldn’t get it to work for her?! Every text was responded to timely, but was not resolved because we had places to be and couldn’t stay around to wait for someone to come investigate and fix things. The rental guest book asked that we make sure all the windows and doors were closed and locked when we left, however we found the windows unlocked and the back door to the patio unlocked when we arrived. I don’t want to sound like a negative person. Only concerned that you are informed so that some easy fixes could be made to make it a better stay for others. Thank you for sharing your place with us during our stay in Ohio. ##### Jana H. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Edwin B. Aug 14, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Okay, but misrepresented in description. Description said it could sleep 8. We were planning for 8 but ended up with seven. That was good because there was no bed for an eighth. 3 bedrooms, each for two. One sofa but not a hide-a-bed. On love seat for a 2-year-old (maybe). Also, clean towels were all in dryer, still damp. And the one kitchen table would seat 4, not 7 or 8. No wine glasses, no corkscrew. No grill. Clean sheets were just dumped in closets. Stupid sign in bathroom: “Take a shower you dirty hippy.” Crass and inappropriate. ##### Edwin B.
