About this property
Dayton Air Force Museum Getaway! Close to WPAFB, Downtown, Wright State
The best place to stay when visiting the National Air Force Museum. It's open year round, entrance is free, and you even can walk to the museum if you want :)
You will also be very close to all the Wright Patterson AFB entrances and only 5 minutes to Wright State University, only 10 minutes to the Nutter Center (for watching various shows) and Downtown Dayton - including the Oregon District, University of Dayton, Schuster Center, Miami Valley Hospital, and others. Perfect for vacation or work!
The space:
This cozy home has two bedrooms with queen beds that can sleep 2 (or 3 kids if needed) and an extra rollaway bed if you need it. The living room has a TV with local channels and Netflix and streaming TV channels via SlingTV... the other bedroom also has their own TV also with Netflix if you'd like to watch your own shows.
A DVD player and lots of DVDs are also available for your entertainment, as are various books, comic books and board games for the kids.
If you are an outdoors person, a bike lane is right in front of the home. This will connect you to the major bike lanes in town and even to other cities like Tipp City, Troy, and even to Cincinnati if you wish! (see for more information)
Areas of the home:
You have full access to the Kitchen (full size fridge, stove, microwave, coffeemakers, toaster, utensils) to save money by cooking your own food, as well as laundry facilities (washer and dryer in basement) if needed.
You will have a driveway to park your car in and extra parking spaces if needed at the front of the property.
Other information:
The back of the house is close to a railroad track (there is another house between us and the track) and you can sometimes hear a train coming through (sounds like rain pouring) for about 1-2 minutes .. about 3-4 times a day. Not loud enough to really disturb you, especially if watching TV. It's a pretty good experience to see the train as it goes by though.. you don't see that often nowadays.
No parties please. This is a quiet neighborhood and we'd like to keep it that way.
Disclaimer: For your safety and the safety of others, surveillance cameras are installed outdoors at this property. They are only pointed to the public areas that include the driveway, front porch, and back door areas.
Finally, we have have prepared this home as best as we can but if you find something that needs improving, please contact us and we'll do our best to fix or rectify the issue. Thanks!

A comfortable place to stay especially its convenience to visiting the National Museum of the US Air Force. Many amenities to include washer, dryer, essential kitchen appliances just to name a few. The living room provides comfortable seating for relaxation. My brother and I stay there when volunteering at the museum.
We enjoyed our third stay in this comfortable home. Our host was a great communicator and checked to make sure we were happy. We especially like the central location.

Thanks so much for staying with us and glad you enjoyed your stay! Hope to see you again in the future! :)
The host was accommodating to our needs for our daughter’s college audition at Wright University including the offer of a late check out and offer for the night as the audition went longer than expected. The host is personable and communicates well.
This was a charming house in a great location. Parking was convenient and communication with the host was easy. He responded promptly to all of my questions. House was clean and well-appointed. The neighborhood felt safe.
Couldn’t have been a more perfect location! Everything as described. Definitely a great place to stay if you are heading to the museum!

Thanks Julie, glad you enjoyed your brief stay with us and hope you were able to see a lot of the museum. Feel free to stay with us again in the future! :)
This house and its features as well as the surrounding area offer so much. My brother and I (quarterly volunteers at the museum) appreciate these conveniences. I mention also the continued updating of the house and its amenities as well.
Perfect little get away, location great if you plan to visit Wright-Patterson! Hidden gem in the basement, ping pong table and air hockey!

Thanks so much for leaving a review, appreciate it and glad you enjoyed your stay and the extra stuff in the basement. We dont really advertise that because the basement isn't fully finished but its there for our guests to use and enjoy :)

we went to Dayton to visit the National Museum of the United States Air Force. You won't find a closer location for lodging. This house is about a 10 second drive to the gate of the museum. I like the ping pong and air hockey tables in the basement.
Great location from the Wright Patterson Air Force museum. The cottage was lovely and very clean. Owner is very responsive and nice. My family and I would stay here again
Gerald doesn't tell the truth about this cute little house - you could probably walk to the AF museum. Also close to a lot of other museums and restaurants as well.Place is nice and beds are super comfortable. very easy to get into house and parking next to house or right across the street. I would definitely stay here again, and recommend it!

Why they chose this property
This is the closest you can get to the Internationally known Dayton Air Force Museum - you can literally walk to the museum from the home. The neighborhood is very safe and is bounded by the Wright Patterson Air Force Base and the Eastwood Metropark with a beautiful lake that you can walk or bike to.
It is also very close to Downtown Dayton (10 minutes or less) with all the nightlife, things to do, and attractions.
