Super cute place for a weekend getaway!! Not to far from the zoo which that’s the reason why we were coming to Ohio!! The hosts were great! Thank you again for the home and hot tub!!!
This stay was everything we hoped for and more. The host made us feel truly welcomed — from helping me with a small rental‑agreement hiccup to giving us a full tour and making sure we had everything we needed. The thoughtful touches throughout the home made our family feel cared for.The property itself was perfect: cozy, comfortable, private, and full of fun. The hot tub was wonderful, the backyard was beautiful, and the game room was a huge hit. I told my husband before we even left that we’ll be back next year. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for the kind words. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. Fingers crossed that next year, the weather is better for the soccer tournament. ☺️
Excellent place to stay. We were there on a friend trip and had the perfect setting. We were welcomed and felt as if we were staying with friends. The place is cozy and charming. The hot tub was perfect. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you for choosing our home for your trip. It was a true pleasure to host you and your friends. Please consider visiting again.
This property was super clean and exactly as the listing promised. I would absolutely stay here again, everything was perfect! The owners are super nice and were available to help with anything we needed!
My family and I stayed here for a week and couldn’t have asked for a better place. Not only is this the cleanest house I’ve ever stayed, it has a great setup for family fun and relaxation. Awesome hosts as well!
This property is super cute, exceptionally clean and has all the amenities you could ever need. The hosts are very responsive and helpful. They made sure we had everything we needed and checked to make sure things were going alright. We will definitely be staying again while visiting our son at BGSU.
Our stay was perfect! The house is decorated wonderfully and really makes you feel at home! The hot tub and beautiful back yard were amazing! Michele was great to work with - we will definitely be back next time we are in town for a curling tournament!
5 stars is NOT enough need like 100 stars! This place is amazing if you like mid-modern history paired with modern updates. As owner mentioned in one of pictures you could eat off the floor it is so immaculate and clean! Even a five star general who is doing a white glove inspection would agree. Don't hesitate to stay here; hosts were amazing and went above and beyond to check in and take care of any needs if any we needed (but didn't have any). We cannot wait to return! Thank you Michelle & Scott for sharing your beautiful home with us.
The house was well decorated in a lovely area near everything. There were fun places to hang out both indoors and outdoors. Michelle and Scott were excellent hosts and helpful with local advice - best ice cream, restaurants, and short cuts for traveling around in the area. We would definitely stay there again.

We loved hosting you both and hope you can visit Bowling Green again!
We really enjoyed having a relaxing stay with family. The home was beautiful and loved the hot tub and the variety of games to play. The hosts even provided treats for our family to enjoy. We would definitely recommend.
It was perfect, a nice welcome sign when you walked in. Cinnamon rolls 1 for each of us. Extremely clean, and notes left for you. It was retro decor my era I will use them again. Even our 6 month old had fun.
property was well kept, everything was exquisitely maintained, interior and exterior were all in great shape. Inside the house was very clean and well kept. Overall, everything was exceptional.
If you appreciate cleanliness - you will love this place!
My son & I took a road trip and I can’t stress enough how grateful we were to the attention to detail on cleaning at this place. The owners are great with communication & the house is wonderfully located in a great spot in town. I can’t wait for the opportunity to stop by again.
My wife and I was in need of a weekend getaway. We were looking for someplace nice, quiet and romantic. This place covered that and then some. Owners are nice and have thought of everything. Nice near by restaurants and things to do. The backyard and hot tub is fantastic! We can't wait to come back again!
Perfect place for relaxing and unwinding. And it's in a beautiful small city with lots to do and see. Hosts are incredible, house is amazing. Not much more to say then what a wonderful weekend we were able to have. Thank you so much for making it a spectacular weekend for us.
This place was immaculate. It had everything you could need and more. The owner Michelle was fantastic to work with. They have gone above and beyond with this home. We will be back.
We stayed for a wedding at Stone Ridge Golf Club. Michelle met us when we got there and walked us through where everything was at in the house. The house was spotless and stocked with everything we needed including cinnamon rolls! Was the perfect location to get to downtown Bowling Green and to the golf club. Would highly recommend this spot for your next trip to Bowling Green
One of my best stays from a vacation getaway site. Host was communicative and adaptable when we had some last minute changes to our plans. She even mailed us back some items we had left behind! The house is as advertised with an awesome story behind it; great for kids and adults alike. Beautiful backyard.
