    5/5

    The Ruebling House Townview 2nd floor space was a very nice 2 bedroom space. The master suite was very spacious with attached modern bathroom with built-in shower. The guest bedroom was minimalist with small closet. Open kitchen, dining, living space was spacious. Guest bath was good size with a tub/shower with a 2 sided curtain. and a small vanity. Steps to 2nd floor was a single run, pretty steep.

    Conveniently across the street from Circle 6 Market & Watering Hole & a 3 minute walk to the new Saddles Social House. The Wentel’s Roadhouse next door was closed. 5 minute drive from Sugar Creek Winery, Defiance Ridge Vineyard & Chandler Hill Veneyards.

    Nice size rental unit. Near wineries However, when we arrived, unit smelled very musty. We had to open windows to get odor to dissipate, but traces still lingered throughout our stay. It wasn’t easy getting suitcases up and doing stairs. You should also install a hand rail in the shower/tub of the smaller bathroom.

    Beautiful apartment! I loved the furniture and the decorations were amazing, I wanted to take the couch home with me! Amazing shower in the masterbath room, entire suite is updated nicely. The only issue was the noise across the street and the traffic. I HIGHLY recommend for people who like to stay out late.

  • Absolutely perfect stay

    5/5

    This house overall was exactly what we needed. We were apart of a wedding party and rented all but one unit. The individualized units made it still inclusive but secluded all in one. The townhouse unit where we stayed was the perfect size and getaway. I appreciated communicating with Julie; she was so friendly and accommodating for my 3yo twin boys. 5 min to our venue at the winery and about 20-30 min into town.
