We enjoyed the apartment and all of its 1970's paraphernalia. I grew up in the area IN the 1970's so it was all a blast from the past. It was clean and loved that they welcomed pets. Check in and check out was easy. We had some trouble with a broken coffee maker and the bed was rather hard. But owners were responsive.

Great location & host

Close to everything we needed but out in the country. House was as described. Host put a lot of effort into making this a throwback experience to the 70’s. Like in the other reviews if you forget anything the house will have it. We had our 4 frenchies and Cane Corso with us and we had plenty of room. Tough to travel when we want to take our extended family but this house was great for us. I didn’t notice any dog orders and neither did my dogs which is always a plus. One thing I would point out is this a split rental with another rental upstairs which we looked at it was a throwback to the 50’s and was really nice as well. If traveling here or just passing by good accommodations and a good host.

Our getaway

We had a nice little getaway! Place was cozy with such a cool vibe. It had everything that you would need and the property was beautiful. The outlets in the kitchen and part of the bathroom did not work, we did inform the owner when he was on the property. It was not a huge deal to us as we were only there for a short period.

Best place we've ever stayed!

When we travel we prefer to stay at home rentals because our dog travels with us. On this trip we stayed the cutest one we've ever stayed in and we are sad we only booked one night here! It is decked out in everything 70s and it's a flashback to everybody's mom or Grandma's house back during that decade. We loved it! They had 30 different games from our childhood, all sorts of toys, and oil lamp, period furniture etc. Just the best! Hosts were amazing. They thought of everything from Fresh eggs in the fridge from their chickens, snacks, coffee, tea, popcorn, extra toiletries, a gift bag for our dog and donkeys down the road that we could pet. Check this one out if you're coming this way to see the Ohio State Reformatory or anything else they have in this beautiful area.

Almost every stay across the world today is similar. Not this one. You win the prize for an inspired specialty! We who have lived through the fifties, sixties, seventies, eighties, and so on, really enjoyed your efforts to take us back in time. And the cleanliness, privacy, spaciousness, attention to detail, and extreme generosity speak to your passion to make people comfortable. We hope to be back next year for our regular visit to Mansfield.

It was a great blast from the past!

They went above and beyond!! My one and only issue was i did not see a hot tub...that said, if it was further away outside, i might have missed it given the time of year...they more than made up for it in accommodations, though! And, like i said, maybe it was an issue on our end!!
