Summer Break at the Schoolhouse

Our group of women who all met working at a school district here in Ohio, had the best time at this converted old schoolhouse. The house was very comfortable and roomy, and we were amazed at the attention to detail. We took a trip to Yellow Springs, which was a short 10 minute drive. We will definitely recommend this house to friends and family.

Great escape!!!!

Weekend getaway with some friends and we loved our stay! The house is so clean and inviting! The outdoor area with the porch swings and firepit allowed us all to swing and catch up! We could have stayed out there forever! Can't wait to go back!

Idyllic Vacation

My sister, mother, aunt and I were in Xenia to do some genealogical research. This was the perfect location. The beds are amazing, the home was cozy and clean, and they even dropped off an HDMI cord so we could put our research on the TV instead of huddling around a computer.It was an excellent visit and we would happily stay here again

Grad weekend

The house is well appointed, clean and comfortable. Worked well as we needed 4 beds for family on graduation weekend. We had a lot going on elsewhere, but wish we had more time to relax and enjoy the home and patio. Loved the history and what they’ve done with it.

Perfect for our family with grandparents

We stayed for the weekend of Cedarville University’s graduation and were so pleased with our stay. The home is beautiful, exceptionally clean, so tastefully decorated. My parents who were in town from Orange County Ca said they would love to the Midwest if they could live in a house like the schoolhouse. We loved our stay! 10/10 across the board!

One of the BEST!!

From the moment we walked in, we were in awe of this house. It immediately smelled clean and inviting. The owners thought of everything! The kitchen was fully stocked for any cooking/eating you would want to do! They even supply some basic spices and coffee/tea.There is plenty of onsite parking and the house is conveniently located to get to many places easily. We would definitely return if we are planning to be in the area again. This is a beautiful, clean home that the owners really take pride in!

Perfectly Cozy and Mind-Blowing Hospitality

Beautifully renovated historical building (school) offered the perfect backdrop to our weekend in Dayton for the Air Force Marathon. Every room is curated to offer magazine worthy decor with functional comfort. Hospitality is off the charts , starting with the host looking after every detail to make you feel right at home including toys for little ones, games for the family to enjoy, and more that made this experience simply put, next-level. This property is conveniently located to WPAFB, the Air Force Museum, the university and other locations of interest from the serenity and beauty of the countryside. We can’t wait to return

ORF Wedding Weekend

My husband and I got married at Ohio Renaissance Faire and we used this Vrbo as a place to meet up, rest, and get ready. Perfect 35 drive to the Faire. Super quiet and private with a short drive into town if you need anything. We will definitely book this place again if we have a group going to ORF.

Outstanding

My family has stayed in dozens of rental properties all over the country, and this one was one of the best ever. It exceeded our expectations. The owner was so kind and communicative and went well above and beyond. The home and property were immaculate. They have thought of every little detail. My kids loved it, as well. It is conveniently located near restaurants and stores, but it is in a peaceful, country setting. It also felt very safe. The home was very spacious for our family of five. We will stay there every chance we get!
