Cute cottage. Enjoyed walking in the neighborhood. The property owners thought of all the little things from a list of local businesses to the fenced back yard for our dog.

This is a wonderful little house! Lovely touches like puzzles, games for the kids, coffee, tea - even oatmeal provided in the kitchen. Great TV and internet. And a very welcome fenced in yard for our furkid. Our host Joe was fantastic... very responsive and helpful. We highly recommend this house for folks staying in Oberlin!
