This is my favorite place to stay, and I try to come as much as possible! It is so warm and cozy, with great hosts who are excellent at communication. You won’t find a better place to stay. The town of Troy is adorable and we always have so much to explore when we visit.

Awesome stay!
We had an amazing time this weekend. Tons of kitchen items which was lovely. The beds and pillows were so comfy too. You can tell they put so much time and effort in trying to make guests happy! We loved sitting on the porch too with a nice cup of coffee. All of the kids amenities I used too!! I would love to come back again and explore more of Troy! Thanks again for the wonderful stay.

Girl's Weekend
My friends and I had an absolutely delightful stay at Hometown Haven! They have literally thought of every single little thing to make your stay comfortable. The house was spacious and very comfortable, very nicely decorated, with high quality and intentional supplies. When we arrived, our host was getting the drive and walkways cleared of the snow that had just fallen and shared with us that he had found out the coffee machine wasnt working. They ordered a new one and installed it for the 2nd day of our stay and literally delivered us some coffee that morning since we couldn't make our own. They left us a welcome basket with some local treats, and we had access to lots of recommendations for the area. We genuinely loved everything about this home and the hosts were above and beyond in their thoughtfulness and helpfulness! My friends and I hope to make this the location for our yearly girls weekend!
Look no further, Hometown Haven is the absolute best place in Troy! The location is perfect, just a short walk into town for dining or shopping. It’s incredibly clean and tastefully decorated with little touches of Ohio art throughout. The bedrooms are spacious and very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking meals. The outdoor space is one of the best features- we really enjoyed coffee on the patio in the morning and sitting around the fire pit at night. Our host DJ was extremely kind and attentive as well. This place really is a gem!!

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind review Leigh! We are thrilled to hear that Hometown Haven was such a special part of your visit to Troy.
It means a lot that you enjoyed both the home’s location and the little details throughout the space. When we created Hometown Haven, our goal was to create a gathering space for our own family when we come together to spend time. Hearing that you enjoyed your mornings on the patio and evenings around the fire pit tells us we accomplished exactly what we hoped for.
DJ will be especially grateful for your kind words. We take great pride in making sure our guests feel welcome and cared for throughout their stay.
Thank you again for choosing Hometown Haven. It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back whenever your travels bring you to Troy again!
All the best - Denise
