This property was just what we needed and had a really great selection of kitchen tools, including a crockpot. The beds were comfortable and linens were clean. The thermostat could use some instructions as there is a schedule you have to program or the temp will default back to whatever the last person set which in our case was 64 degrees. There’s plenty of parking and it’s a quiet neighborhood with a small playground just down the street. If you have small kids (we had a 1 and 3 year old), be prepared to keep a very close eye on them as there are a lot of things at their level that they shouldn’t be messing with - fireplace, gaming systems, trinkets. Overall we loved the property and I would stay there again.

From the owner: "Thank you so much for staying with us and for the thoughtful, detailed review! We’re glad the house had what you needed, especially in the kitchen, and that you found the beds comfortable, linens clean, and the neighborhood quiet and convenient.
Thank you as well for calling out the thermostat and the little-kid considerations. We’ve added more precise instructions for the thermostat so future guests won’t have to wrestle with the schedule, and we’re reviewing a few ways to make things easier for families with curious toddlers while still keeping the space cozy and fun for everyone.
We really appreciate you taking such good care of the place and would be happy to host you again anytime."
Wow! We had a wonderful time at this house. It made the perfect place to relax after a few days of sightseeing. Everything was comfortable and clean. And there was plenty of room for the whole family (mama, daddy, 1 kid, 2 teens and grandparents) to spread out. My kids LOVED the NES throwback AND the Wii (Kirby for the WIN!). The bedrooms were a bit on the small size, but they worked. And I was happy to find a house with 2 bathrooms. The back yard was lovely, although we didn't get much time to hang out back there. My youngest and I were disappointed that we couldn't get down to the creek to play.The neighborhood was quiet and well maintained. Nothing super fancy, but we felt very comfortable being there. And there is a small playground at the end of the street.My biggest complaint is now my kids are asking for a dart board for Christmas! (They didn't realize how good mama was at that game!) :) I did send a question to the owners via Vrbo asking a few questions beforehand that were never answered, however, once the check-in information was texted to me (the day before) all other questions were answered in a very timely manner, and the owners were very nice in their responses. Oh, and my kids liked the map in the front room and reading through the guest book.Overall, they are all asking to go back to Ohio to visit and this house in top of the list to stay again. Thank you so very much.

Thank you so much for this incredibly kind and detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear the house was a comfortable, clean place for everyone to relax after busy days of sightseeing, and that there was enough space for mama, daddy, kid, teens, and grandparents to spread out.
We love that your kids got such a kick out of the NES throwback and the Wii (Kirby really is the win 😄), and that everyone had fun with the dartboard and games. Sounds like you discovered mama’s secret dart skills too!
Thank you for mentioning the bedrooms and bathrooms as well—while the bedrooms are a bit cozy, we’re glad they still worked for your family and that the second bathroom was a plus.
About the backyard and creek: we’re so glad you enjoyed the view, and we completely understand wanting to get down there to play. At the moment, creek access is limited for safety and erosion reasons, but we’re always thinking about ways to balance fun with keeping things safe and stable.
I also want to apologize for t
We chose this property mainly for it's location to the Champion Center Arena in Springfield and the amount of bedrooms it offered. The house was beautiful, the online photos were extremely accurate, much larger than anticipated. Well stocked very clean would highly recommend if you are in need of a place to stay in that area. The beds were very comfortable and the showers offered tons of hot water for a large group.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Lisa! We’re really glad the house worked well for your group and that the location was convenient for the Champion Center Arena.
It’s great to hear the photos matched what you found in person and that the home felt even larger than expected, well stocked, and very clean. We’re especially happy the beds were comfortable and the showers kept up with a big group needing lots of hot water.
We truly appreciate the recommendation and would love to host you again anytime you’re back in the area!
Great home, quiet and relaxing. So much attention to details-- the little things make a difference. Thank you!Cynthia, Tim, Ashley, Randy, Hayleigh and Hudson
