Nice Little Home
If you have a student at Kenyon College, this is a great place to stay. Very close to KC with the conveniences of Mt Vernon. Property was clean and easily accessible. The bathroom is tiny- can’t image sharing it with 4 people but it worked for 2 of us. Wish we had known about it before this graduation trips-would have definitely stayed here more often.

Spring Bike Ride
Cozy Cottage suited our needs perfectly for a short visit to Ohio. It is in a quiet neighborhood very close to the bike trail, very walk-able area as well. The house is exceptionally clean, inside and out, making our stay there very comfortable.

Perfect Home Base for Visiting Local Family
My father and I stayed here while visiting family and the places he remembered from childhood. We kept remarking how thrilled we were with the stay. It was his first experience with a VRBO and he is now a fan. The home is beautifully preserved and updated. Everything was clean, well organized, and comfortable. We will be back again the next time we are up to Ohio.
