A perfect quiet getaway for a small group. We had 2 adults 2 kids, and it was just the right size! A nice ‘homey’ feel for all of it. We had planned to visit Kings Island and the Air Force museum, but the weather had other plans! It changed everything up for us, and actually we stayed at the home and just had a nice 'at home' day where we watched movies, played board games, and ended up going out and getting some local ice cream to cap off the day. We even got to enjoy their hot tub at the end of the night as well! Overall the bedrooms were great, ample space for everything we were up to, and a movie collection that served a great purpose! Thanks again!

About the host

Hosted by Carol Storer

Host profile image
We are from the area. We love making our property available to people for making memories and spending quality time.

Why they chose this property

House sets back off the road and is not visible from the road.

What makes this property unique

All sheets, blankets, bedspreads, furniture throws and towels, including hot tub towels, are washed in 140 degree water after every guest to sanitize for the next guest. Floors are vacuumed and steamed after each guest. High touch areas are wiped with disinfectant. Owner on property for quick response but rental property back yard and deck are very private.
