About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Home away from home. Minutes away from everything.

Just minutes from University of Dayton, Wright State University, Air Force Museum, Nutter Center and much more! Plenty of nearby shopping and places to visit. Fully equipped kitchen if you want to stay in or there are plenty of restaurants nearby. The house has been recently remodeled. Almost everything in the house is new. Nice, quiet neighborhood.

Great place to stay. Everything you could want is near by. Air Force Museum was only a couple of miles away. Kroger around the corner. Many parks and places to visit NY within about 20 miles at the most.

Convention Stay
The house was immaculately clean upon arrival and the neighborhood was very quiet though close to the Highway. I was in town for a conference at Dayton Convention Center and this was a great place to meet and swap the kids with my parents and spend family time for a day. There’s a great cabinet of games, and some toys that I wasn’t expecting, and the book of where to eat and things to do proved very useful, we went 3 of the recommended places and they were all excellent. I didn’t communicate with the hosts so I can’t comment on how responsive they are, but the place was well kept and check in and check out was extremely easy and straight forward. If this same conference is held in Dayton next year, I hope to be back.

Perfectly Comfortable and Clean
My spouse, 2 daughters and I stayed at this perfect little home in Riverside while visiting family in Dayton for the Thanksgiving holiday. The house had everything we needed and more. They even provided pre-loaded laundry detergent in the washer for us to use. The kitchen was fully stocked. The kids each had their own room, and the beds were very comfortable. The open living and dining room was very comfortable and aesthetically pleasing as well. The home was very clean and nicely decorated. We would love to book here again on our next trip to the Dayton area.

Friends Quiet Reading Weekend
My best friend and I came to town to visit a nearby bookstore and to just spend time together and read books. This house was perfect and exactly as shown here. It was very clean, well taken care of, amazingly comfortable couch to curl up on, soft towels, the list goes on. We used the guide left by the owners for some dinner recommendations, and those were great as well. I would definitely stay here again if I were in the area.

March Madness stay
This home was nice in a good location for what I was doing, had a nice patio and grill area. The sheets were very soft and comforters as well, better than most. The home has been updated nicely. A few points that I overlooked there are only 2 tvs in the home so bedroom 2 and 3 have no television. Using the television was tricky at first as it is all online only and I don’t have YouTube tv so I had to figure it out during March Madness👎. The master bathroom is nicely updated however the shower is small and if you are claustrophobic hang it up. At first glance I didn’t think it even had a shower as the door blocked it. The toilet in the master bath had not been cleaned but in the owners defense I didn’t complain I just cleaned it, the rest of the house was spotless so someone may have just forgot. The sidewalk to the front door is busted up so you can’t roll luggage on it but I just took the luggage through the back. The kitchen area was updated clean and had everything we needed. I will definitely recommend this property especially if you don’t fall asleep with a television on. I will add this to my favorites for the next trip to Ohio. Communication with owners before trip was easy and they responded quickly.

Great place, convenient and quiet.
My wife, two children ages 16 and 9 travelled to Dayton for NCAA. We have had rentals in Florida, so we have an idea of what the owners are challenged with. They location is in a quiet neighborhood, seemingly safe and I wouldn’t change anything about the house. It was organized is a user friendly plug and play design with added comfort and many, many great ideas for the convenience of guest. We ate ate the old water mill near cedar like (great breakfast), stone cold ice cream down town at night with bridges lit up and hit the mall at Fairfield. WPAFB if you have ID. We played games, tried to work out some brain teaser puzzles. I beat the box snake (with assistance from you tube). Lol Great place! Highly recommended!! Thanks to the owners for taking the stress out of our trip!!

Clean, comfy home
We stayed here for the Air Force Marathon. The house was very cute and comfortable. The only thing I’d recommend is if you have anyone that is light sensitive, they need to sleep in the Master bedroom. The flood lights on the carport are triggered by cars driving past the house. The light bleeds around the curtains and brightens up the back bedrooms during the night. Other than that, beds are comfortable, plenty of items to cook with, and great back yard for grilling!

Cigarette smoke filled house.
Rented this property on the premise it was close the UD, which it was not. It was 30 minutes if not more away in a sketchy area and was afraid to leave my car in the driveway. Walked in and it smelled so overwhelmingly of cigarette smoke we had to leave cause we were getting headaches and started coughing. There were signs all over that said no smoking, but that was obviously not the case. Clean though. Had to leave and find a lady minute hotel.
