We had the best time! The weather cooperated, and we were able to enjoy the lovely pool everyday. The home was spacious and comfortable for grandparents, parents and kids. Very clean and well stocked. We look forward to staying again!
We stayed in this secluded 5-acre getaway - 4 adults and one 3 year old. The place is in a great location, close to the center of Oberlin as well as North Ridgeville. Plenty of nice breakfast places in Oberlin. The house has a large, open family/living area which is perfectly suited for children and family conversation. Plenty of space for everyone. The host was extremely accommodating and responsive - very easy to work with. Would stay in this location again.
We really enjoyed our stay. Was a peaceful getaway. Quiet neighborhood, well kept clean pool and hot tub, and a large backyard. The pool itself was an entertainment for our children. Thank you for making it a great stay!
We had such a peaceful, enjoyable time. The gas fire pit and jacuzzi were so relaxing. Just what we needed for our long weekend. The host was very attentive and the home was clean and inviting.
We stayed for a girls trip weekend, very large living room, nice updated bathrooms!We had a relaxing stay. It snowed during our visit, and with all the windows and scenery- we joked that it felt like a snow globe! So fun! Thanks for sharing your home!
Perfectly located to play at multiple public courses, all in beautiful condition. Back to the house to relax in the pool or hot tub. Couldn’t have been easier!
This property was the perfect family getaway! The pool was so much fun and my daughter who is still learning to swim just loved it. The fire pit and hot tub were great for the evenings. Not a far drive to town, stocked with all the essentials and we could bring our pets-exactly what we needed. Host (Steve) was great to work with and communicate with. I’d recommend this place to anyone!
It was my first time ever renting a vacation home, process was super easy, Property very clean room very nice. Owner responds right away. Had no problems finding the house, Had no issues during the stay, my friends and i would gladly be back.
We booked the house for a weekend trip to visit our son at Oberlin. We had a full crew with us, including our other son and his girlfriend, my parents, and even our dogs. The house worked great for the crew, with plenty of space for everyone. The yard and outdoor space, especially, are phenomenal for hanging out on warm, late summer evenings. While it's not in Oberlin proper, it's an easy 5 minute drive to downtown and campus. Loved our stay at the house!
The house is beautiful and in a great location. We enjoyed our stay. Steve was easy to communicate with prior to the stay. The only negative comments I can make are the kitchen can use a few other pieces of dishes and a cutting board. The cleanliness of the house needed some attention. Unfortunately that left a bad impression on us.
Steve is awesome! Responds to questions immediately. The yard and landscape are so peaceful and beautiful. Recurrent visits from bunnies and deer. Tons of birds. The fireflies at night are amazing. The pool and hot tub were wonderful. Outdoor speakers made it easy to connect your playlists to. The firepit on the deck made for a perfect conversation spot. Inside had lots of rooms to offer friends and family to stay overnite. The large table housed many game nights. Definitely one of the best VRBOs I have ever stayed. Already talking about rebooking.
Great family house and property close to Oberlin College
Our family from Washington and California traveled out to Oberlin for our nephew/son’s recital at Oberlin. This house was great! Very close to the college and so easy get to not only enjoy the recital but also to pop over to visit when his schedule allowed. The property is beautiful and very well maintained. We all said we could picture staying here when it was warmer, enjoying the fire pit and hanging out around the pool. Inside was very clean and had everything we needed. The large kitchen was the central hub when we were there but everyone also had their own spaces as needed. The house itself is a little bit older but has been remodeled in the bathrooms and kitchen in ways that make it both comfortable but also like going to stay at a home that has been in the family and that still has its own personality. I would definitely recommend this house and very responsive host. We talked about maybe booking it again for graduation next year and it is already reserved so you know it is a great find!
We were in town in winter, for a funeral, so not the usual vacation rental. It took us a bit to find it because Google Maps shows a different property a few houses down the street. Follow the host directions and you'll be ok. The internet was recently changed, so the sheet in the house was not accurate, but the Vrbo instructions worked. The listing is slightly misleading in that, with 4 bedrooms (2 up, 2 down) I assumed one bathroom on each floor (the listing does not say where they are). Both bathrooms are on the main floor, so those staying in the lower level need to come upstairs for a bathroom. There was an unexpected snowfall, so we appreciated the obvious snow shovel on the deck. The location is very convenient to both Oberlin and Cleveland airport. As a host, Steve was in touch and very responsive.
This is a great place to stay if you are looking for a relaxing getaway. Very private and lots of rooms for our children to play. The pool is awesome and well maintained.
