Our hosts were so accommodating, the house is pristine and beautifully appointed, and the house is comfortable and a short walk to Tipp City which we loved for its old time charm. I could not find anything to fault our stay — 100%positive and highly recommended.

We appreciated how clean and comfortable the house was! The house was well stocked and loved the coffee bar. Check in and out directions very clear, and we were entertained by the train! Loved the back yard complete with fire pit and chairs, wish our weather had been better to enjoy it. Great location close to downtown area. Would stay here again!

This was our 3rd time staying at the Colorful Cottage. We absolutely adore the house and it's such a perfect location for our antiquing ventures. We look forward to our stay every time. Always clean and the Fall decorations were a nice added touch. So comfortable and a very quiet neighborhood. Yes there is a train track close by but it does not bother us at all plus the owners provide earplugs if needed. Owners are great too!

Loved our stay here. Very clean, spacious. Loved the bonus of having a pool table etc. Great location to Charleston fall preserves & Buc-ees (yes I stayed here just to go to Buc-ees!) If anything it is bigger in person than the pictures show and usually it’s the opposite of places I’ve stayed before. Thank you so much! We would stay here again.

The home was very well cared for with excellent mindfullness. Above and beyond care. I will only note the train is across the street and blows its horn through the night. When Having young children, make sure to bring noise machines. The stay was excellent.

This VRBO was mine and my friend’s first VRBO - and it was exactly as advertised, if not better. We each had our own rooms and own bathroom for about the price of a single room hotel - how can you beat that???Communication with the owners was a breeze.If I’m in the area again, I’ll absolutely stay here a second time. Thank you both so much!!!

Charming

Although we just stayed one night at this property as a halfway point to coming home to see family, it was very charming… The hosts also provides several little things like make up wipes, shampoo, conditioner, body soap etc.

Entering the house was like walking into comfortable home your grandmas. 2 full bathrooms was so nice and made my sister and my morning routine go so smoothly. The kitchen had everything you needed with a spice rack and vinegar and oil which made cooking so much easier. The location was perfect for day trips to the surrounding areas.

So cute, great attention to detail

House was adorable and well kept! Got warm upstairs and no screen in the upstairs bedroom window. Location close to downtown and highway which is convenient but there is a train about two blocks away that ran throughout the night.

This home is immaculate and lovely! It is very clear that the owners love having a rental and they have put care into the decor choices and finishes and cleanliness! We didn't mind the train but yes it is very close!The backyard could use some car, but we didn't need it. The air conditioning doesn't work quite as well upstairs but there is a downstairs bathroom with some walking to the bathroom. We stayed here for our son's wedding in Vandalia and reception in Troy and used it as a place to relax and get ready. It was a perfect distance between both!Tipp City is indeed a beautiful Ohio small town! We loved our visit. The design and decor was lovely. Thank you! We highly recommend!
