Perfect Accommodation

This property was absolutely perfect for our family. The Cozy Bee truly had everything we could ask for while in a very nice, quiet, and pleasant community. We traveled for a blend of business and pleasure and simply couldn’t have had better accommodations from booking to check out. I highly recommend to anyone traveling to the greater Cincinnati area.

Great house for our family

We were in town for a wedding and family reunion. There were 8 of us in total including a 7 month old baby. Plenty of room for everyone. Enjoyed the game room. The location was very convenient and close to everything we needed or wanted. Open communication with the host. I would stay here again!

The Perfect Place

My family and I enjoyed our stay so very much! This house is just beautiful and provided all the room and beds we needed. We enjoyed roasting hot dogs and making s’mores. The grandkids loved going for bike rides. It was a hit for a family of 9!!! I would highly recommend!

Summer in Cinti

Had a wonderful week in Cincinnati with the family. I have family that lives in the area so we were able to get together with them. The house was awesome. It had everything we needed. The children had a wonderful time with the game room. One thing to note if you’re planning on going to Cinti in July. It is HUMID!!!

Wedding stay including rehearsal dinner

This property fit our needs perfectly. Description of the property and amenities were spot on. We were in town for my daughter's wedding, and it was difficult finding a property that would permit us to have a small gathering for the rehearsal dinner. In addition, we had a specific request due to a health issue of one of the guests. I inquired through the VRBO app, and our host (Lynn) was quick to respond and extremely accommodating. Was the best interaction I have ever had with a host and very appreciated. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a place to stay in the metro area (also very close to King's Island although we did not visit).

Fantastic property with games and activities galore!!

There were 9 of us staying together. My wife, son and I, my sister, brother in law and their 2 girls and our parents. We all met there to take our parents away for their 50th Anniversary. We loved the games, bikes, firepit, kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, just everything really. The Cozy Bee is a fantastic place to stay with plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained. Lynn was immediately available to answer the 1 question I had Check in and check out process is as easy as it gets with very minimal and reasonable requests for the guests on checkout. We had a fantastic stay and made great memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you so much for sharing your house with us.

Wedding

This house is awesome! It is a beautiful, well-equipped home. We rented it for our son's wedding. The wedding venue did not have bridal party rooms. So, we needed space for everyone to get ready. This house worked wonderfully. There is plenty of room. With 3 floors, the whole wedding party could get ready and still remain separated until it was time for "the first look". A tree in the fenced back yard provided some shade and a perfect place for the 1st look pictures. Some of the wedding party stayed the night before the wedding to be able to get an early morning start on the wedding/reception setup at the venue. The guys even had a little time to enjoy the game and entertainment rooms. The newlyweds stayed at the home after the wedding. We had a couple questions prior to arriving and received a quick response to our message. We would definitely recommend this home to friends and family looking for a great place to stay. Thanks for helping make it a perfect day!

The home was creatively designed with a very large and family friendly kitchen with a huge island and a very spacious refrigerator. There was a Game Room that the kids (and kids at heart) enjoyed. The Bee theme was very clever and carried throughout the home. It was as nice as the photos depicted and was a great place to spend time as a family. The instructions were clear and easy to follow and the host, Lynn, was easy to contact and very pleasant to communicate with. We had a Bee-eutiful time and recommend this location highly as a pñace to stay...so much more enjoyable than a hotel!!

Good space for family and friends to gather for our daughters wedding weekend. Convenient to stores and food. Enjoyed the fire pit in the backyard to relax after all the festivities. Did have to purchase some extra toilet tissue and firewood due to low supply at the house. Overall it worked for our needs.

We needed a place for our out of town bridal party to stay, as well as a place for the bridesmaids to get dressed the day of the wedding. This adorable home is located in very quite neighborhood within a couple blocks of downtown Mason, and only 8 minutes from our venue. After rehearsal the evening before the wedding, the bridal party enjoyed a backyard fire together. The next morning the natural light coming in the home was perfect for the bridesmaids getting reading w/hair and makeup teams, and then some time with the photographers before heading to the venue. It was absolutely a perfect stay and special memories were made in this home.
