About this property
Gigi's Place - Charming Downtown Eaton Stay
Step into a piece of Eaton history! Built 100 years ago by a doctor, this private guest house once served as his office and later as our beloved Gigi’s home. Now it’s a cozy and well-maintained downtown Eaton, Ohio retreat with vintage charm and modern comfort. Enjoy your own outdoor entrance for complete privacy, while we live next door in the main house. A peaceful place to unwind and catch some zzs.
This private apartment guest house is attached to our main house and offers a cozy, thoughtfully updated space in the heart of downtown Eaton. Guests enjoy a separate exterior entrance.
Inside you’ll find a comfortable living room with seating (including a couch that folds out to a queen bed) electric recliner, Roku TV, a fully equipped kitchen with full-size modern appliances, a dinette table, one bedroom with a very comfy queen bed and Amazon Fire TV, and a full bathroom with step-in shower (with grab bars). There’s also in-unit laundry with detergent and softener for added convenience.
Because the home is historic, you may hear the occasional footsteps overhead. We’ve taken steps to minimize sound, but the charm of original wood floors can sometimes be heard.
Gigi's Place is Located:
9 minutes/6 miles from Interstate 70
1 minute/0.2 miles from US 127
2 minutes/0.8 miles to the PC Fairgrounds
10 minutes/7 miles from US Route 40
30 minutes/20 miles from Oxford, Ohio
50 minutes/42 miles from Eldora Speedway
18 minutes/12 miles from Richmond, Indiana
35 minutes/25 miles to downtown Dayton
70 minutes/60 miles to downtown Cincinnati
** Route 40 and 127 each have annual garage sales - Gigi's Place is in the perfect location while making your stops along the routes!
We live in the attached main home, so we’re nearby if you need anything — but we fully respect your privacy and space. Guests easily enjoy a completely independent stay.
If you need assistance during your visit, you can message us through the VRBO app at any time. We’re happy to help make your stay comfortable and smooth while still giving you plenty of room to relax and unwind.

Response from VrboOwner on 13 Apr 2026
Thank for your kind words! We’re grateful you chose Gigi’s Place for your stay. I’m glad you found everything clean, comfortable, and cozy!! That’s exactly the experience we hope to create for every guest.
Happy to hear the location worked well for your visit to Miami University, too! We love being a convenient and quiet home base for travelers coming to the area.
We’d absolutely love to welcome you back anytime you’re in the area again!
About the host
Hosted by Lindsay Watson
We’re a local family who love creating spaces that feel warm, welcoming, and restful. Hosting gives us the chance to share a little piece of our community with others, and we enjoy helping guests feel at home. Whether you're here to visit family, work, explore the area, or just relax between travel, we hope this space gives you a cozy place to land.
Why they chose this property
We love this neighborhood for its quiet, small-town charm and convenient location. It’s the kind of place where things feel a little slower and more relaxed, while still being close to local shops, restaurants, and community events. Whether you're taking a walk, grabbing coffee nearby, or heading out to explore, it’s a lovely place to come home to at the end of the day.
Bonus perk: Gigi's Place is located on the main parade route for town events! Preble County Fair Parade and Preble County Pork Festival are two of the largest.

What makes this property unique
What makes this space special is its story. Over 100 years ago, this apartment served as a doctor’s office attached to the main home (where we currently live). Years later, it became home to our beloved family matriarch, “Gigi.” Today, it’s been thoughtfully refreshed into a cozy, private retreat while still honoring its history.
You’ll feel that character in the original details, paired with modern comforts and a walkable downtown location. With two private entrances and a peaceful setting, it offers a rare mix of charm, convenience, and a sense of home you won’t find just anywhere.
