About this property

Home away from home. Minutes away from everything.

Just minutes from University of Dayton, Wright State University, Air Force Museum, Nutter Center and much more! Plenty of nearby shopping and places to visit. Fully equipped kitchen if you want to stay in or there are plenty of restaurants nearby. The house has been recently remodeled. Almost everything in the house is new. Nice, quiet neighborhood.

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.

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.

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!!!!

Response from VrboOwner on 9 February 2022
After putting lot of thought and effort into providing a great experience for our guests, we are disappointed that you were not satisfied with your stay. We don’t understand why you declined our offer to come and fix the water immediately after you let us know there was a problem. After you checked out, we tested the water temperature and it was set at 115 degrees. We should have had an outside trash bin available for all your bags of trash, we have since provided one for future guests. We are perplexed about what happened in the driveway. We personally cleaned and salted the entire driveway an hour prior to your arrival and it was still clean at 8:30 pm your second night when we brought you the scissors that you requested. At that time, you didn’t inform us of any issues. We are sorry that you did not enjoy your stay and that we were unable to give you an extra night for free as you requested. We are very upset you smoked in our home even though it was made very clear that there was to be no smoking.

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.

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!
