Great little spot!

We had a great night here. The place was clean & as advertised. Had a nice home feel to it as well. I’d definitely recommend staying here & stay here again myself if I’m back in this area!

Cozy, but roomy cottage with everything we needed for a 4 night stay. Super easy access, private & quiet.

Absolutely adorable little place to stay. Nicely sized for two, close to campus, quiet, and clean. Water pressure is a little low, but the air conditioning is ice cold. We come back to BGU annually and plan to stay here (if available) next year. The only issue we had was not the host's fault, just a general heads-up. This unit has a private drive, with buildings on either side, which the host said park on the street. We were blocked in the next morning, making us late for our event. I would suggest NOT pulling in the drive if you have a specific time you need to leave.

Cute Cottage!

“Secret Garden” is a great little property. Clean, quiet, and very comfortable for two people. Loved the furnishings and the way it’s decorated! And Bowling Green is a great town too!

Spacious kitchen. TVs are fine. Prior to check-in, access code and WiFi instead of having to ask.

the location on the map is not accurate. it is located on West Evers (north west of BG) however its located south east (per the map). the furnishings looked ok however the place was very dirty and not cleaned. dead bugs everywhere, old dirt all over the back of the main door, the shower looked used and dirty, lots of dirt in the bathroom. i booked once with this host before at the front location had a similar issue. i did not realized when i booked this place it was the same host. never responded to my issues. i would not book any house from this host not responsive and does not keep the properties up. i took several photos of the issues and still no response from the owner. we did not end up staying here thankfully i found an open hotel room close by. the other reviews on the hosts must have extremely low expectations.

Excellent amenities, cozy space

Needed a place to stay in between Michigan and Philly. This is a perfect place for a solo traveler or a couple. Bed was extremely comfortable! I had trouble getting out of bed in the morning because I was so content! Actually, the couch was comfy too. TVs are firetvs so just have your signins for your streaming apps. I appreciated being able to do laundry on site. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you’d need if you’re a cook. Gas oven and air fryer, coffee maker. (I didn’t want to use the last of the coffee that was in the freezer though). Plenty of counter top space. While I didn’t use it, there’s a nice outdoor space with a firepit and table and chairs, too. I really appreciate being able to park in a driveway vs. the street, especially when my car is full of stuff. Thanks again
