Older home recently updated. Little strange floorplan. One bathroom ensuite upstairs where all bedrooms are, and second bathroom off the kitchen. Owner was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. Comfortable and quiet neighborhood.

One of Our Best VRBO Experiences

This place is exceptional. Great communication from the host. Finally, a place that doesn’t have you do a lot of work for check-out! Beautiful, convenient location close to restaurants, pubs, and shopping. The neighborhood has so much character, making it fun to walk around the see the varying architecture. The house was clean with great linens, organized utensils, and all the basic supplies needed to make for an effortless stay. My 70-year-old parents stayed with us, and they were just as pleased with the experience.

Great VRBO experience!

Aaron, the property host, is readily available to answer questions and willing to accommodate reasonable requests. We would not hesitate to book his property again. The property is as described, no surprises. It is an older home, nicely updated, close to activities. As mentioned in other reviews, the stairs are steep and could be an issue for very elderly or someone with mobility issues but for the average person, no problem. There are 3, large, comfortable bedrooms, all on second floor. Only one has an en suite bathroom. The 2nd bathroom is on main floor off the kitchen. It is a beautifully renovated full bathroom with shower. Lovely main floor with huge kitchen. We highly recommend this property!

NCAA Play In Games

The Blue House was VERY clean. The furniture and beds were comfortable and nice quality. The only drawback was the stairs. They were very steep and irregular with the potential for a slip and fall. Because of this I’d be cautious about staying here with small children or anyone with limited mobility.

The Blue House Retreat is a wonderful place to stay! It has been beautifully renovated. All the accommodations are top notch from the comfy beds to a yummy coffee bar. Our trip was filled with special memories here and touring the Air Force, Wright brothers, and Packard museums.

A Five-Star Gem in the Gem City!

Our first vacation rental experience was an absolute delight, all thanks to our fantastic host. Right from the booking stage, the host's responsiveness was unmatched, promptly addressing any questions we had and putting our minds at ease. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with easy-to-follow instructions, making settling in a breeze. The attention to detail made the check-in process seamless, and the space itself was immaculate, providing a comforting and clean atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The standout feature of this rental was how accurately the photos portrayed the property. No misleading surprises here; the space was just as beautiful, if not more, than we had envisioned. The location was perfect, situated in the heart of the Gem city with easy access to attractions and amenities. Exploring the area and creating cherished memories with our family was a breeze. Our initial weariness about vacation rentals vanished the moment we stepped foot into this gem of a property. The host's attentiveness, clear instructions, pristine space, and truthful depiction of the rental exceeded our expectations. We left truly impressed and eagerly look forward to returning for another exceptional stay. Thank you for making our vacation unforgettable! Five stars and beyond!

Great Home beautiful house

Home was very beautiful and comfortable and clean. Only a slight issue is needed pot holders and a collinder. Very spacious as we were there for a baseball tournament and it was close to all of the ball fields that we played at.

Downtown Dayton

Our stay was great. Comfortable rooms and beds and the house was super clean. Arron was very helpful and accommodating. There are great eateries close by and we felt very safe. The only item is this is an older house and the stairs are small and steep but we navigated that just fine. I would recommend this to anyone who needs to visit Dayton.
