About this property

Entire place

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

Dayton Air Force Museum Getaway! Close to WPAFB, Downtown, Wright State

The best place to stay when visiting the National Air Force Museum. It's open year round, entrance is free, and you even can walk to the museum if you want :)

You will also be very close to all the Wright Patterson AFB entrances and only 5 minutes to Wright State University, only 10 minutes to the Nutter Center (for watching various shows) and Downtown Dayton - including the Oregon District, University of Dayton, Schuster Center, Miami Valley Hospital, and others. Perfect for vacation or work!

The space:

This cozy home has two bedrooms with queen beds that can sleep 2 (or 3 kids if needed) and an extra rollaway bed if you need it. The living room has a TV with local channels and Netflix and streaming TV channels via SlingTV... the other bedroom also has their own TV also with Netflix if you'd like to watch your own shows.

A DVD player and lots of DVDs are also available for your entertainment, as are various books, comic books and board games for the kids.

If you are an outdoors person, a bike lane is right in front of the home. This will connect you to the major bike lanes in town and even to other cities like Tipp City, Troy, and even to Cincinnati if you wish! (see for more information)

Areas of the home:

You have full access to the Kitchen (full size fridge, stove, microwave, coffeemakers, toaster, utensils) to save money by cooking your own food, as well as laundry facilities (washer and dryer in basement) if needed.

You will have a driveway to park your car in and extra parking spaces if needed at the front of the property.

Other information:

The back of the house is close to a railroad track (there is another house between us and the track) and you can sometimes hear a train coming through (sounds like rain pouring) for about 1-2 minutes .. about 3-4 times a day. Not loud enough to really disturb you, especially if watching TV. It's a pretty good experience to see the train as it goes by though.. you don't see that often nowadays.

No parties please. This is a quiet neighborhood and we'd like to keep it that way.

Disclaimer: For your safety and the safety of others, surveillance cameras are installed outdoors at this property. They are only pointed to the public areas that include the driveway, front porch, and back door areas.

Finally, we have have prepared this home as best as we can but if you find something that needs improving, please contact us and we'll do our best to fix or rectify the issue. Thanks!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player and Netflix. Other standard amenities include a washer/dryer, a sofa bed, and a fenced private yard.

The view of the museum was such a hit for our kids who sat on the front porch late at night with no issues. The private drive made it nice to load and unload. Kitchen fully stocked. Rooms and beds clean and stocked with plenty of bedding. Game area in basement and multiple TVs made this the perfect landing spot between soccer tournament games. If you’re attending a big soccer tournament, this house is centrally located to all complexes. Security code specific to guest which made me feel safe knowing nobody else had a current code. Communication from owner timely.

This small house is conveniently located if you plan to visit the museum. Our family of four adults stayed there. Beds were good with foam pillows. Bathroom is small with some age showing, but everything worked fine, and shampoo, conditioner and body soap is provided in small cupboard behind bathroom door. Gerald the owner was excellent in communicating with us. One of the best VRBO owners we’ve had in this regard. This house is in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of convenient parking. We did find the basement light on upon arrival, which we thought was eerie, but Gerald explained the switch was broken. Gave us a good laugh!

Great location for museum of the Air Force. Lovely quiet area. Not luxurious but clean and had everything we needed. Internet and TV worked without stress. Water was hot. Host was accomodating.We didn’t have a vehicle so that made things a bit awkward as there are no conveniences nearby but that was our mistake.

Gerald doesn't tell the truth about this cute little house - you could probably walk to the AF museum. Also close to a lot of other museums and restaurants as well.Place is nice and beds are super comfortable. very easy to get into house and parking next to house or right across the street. I would definitely stay here again, and recommend it!

Very Cozy!

This cute little house was very homey and comfortable after a long day at competition. It’s literally right across the street from the Air Force Museum, which made our next day returning to the museum, a very quick one. It has everything you need and then some for a comfortable relaxing evening. I only wish I would’ve thought ahead and booked it for two nights. We will definitely be returning if we are back in the area.

Pricing was reasonable. The neighbors had trash in their yard and dogs would bark a lot. I liked the house very cozy. Fridge was not completely cleaned and some towels were left in a basket previously used that appeared unclean. Beds weren’t as comfortable as expected.
