Decent Stay
The stay was decent. The house worked as intended for the weekend.
Pros:
-provided dishes and appliances worked well
-provided snacks were nice
-beds were comfy
-heat worked well
-check-out list was normal and didn't require anything outlandish
-outside area was cute, and comfy
Cons:
-kinda creepy to be honest. The basement and the attic were not locked which was unnerving.
-no blinds on any of the windows. On a corner lot it felt pretty exposed, Also the sunlight in the bedroom was rough with no way to block it out.
-lots of potpourii about, smelled like Grandma's house
-street parking, never awesome

The Kitchie Kottage Could Also Be Called The Kozy Kottage
Very nice property - comfortable and in a quiet neighborhood. The host was very responsive to our questions. We were in the area for a festival that unfortunately was rained out, so we ended up spending a lot of time at the property, but despite the bad weather outside, the house was cheery inside. I'll stay again next time I'm in the area.

Great little house
The house was great. Had everything we wanted and needed.
Area left us feeling a tad nervous. Ended up being a quiet peaceful night.
Only downfall was going into town to get food. Very sketchy town. Are at maestros. Good food.

Thoughtful host, perfect comfy space
You could tell that host Anthony is caring and thoughtful. As soon as I walked in, I already felt at ease. I went through to see a fully equipped kitchen that let me cook a beautiful dinner for myself. The bathroom and rooms were so spacious and i was able to have the comfiest and most restful sleep clean and at peace. I don’t visit my family much in Ohio but with a VRBO like this in my back pocket, I don’t see why I would avoid coming back to.them sooner. (Also i was very grateful for the snacks and water Anthony provided. he didn’t have to but he did and for that i was the happiest of campers)

Clean & comfortable
My sister, friend & I went to the kitchie kottage for the weekend & had a lovely time. The house was extremely clean & very comfortable. The host went above & beyond with little details to make our stay cozy. We came to visit some old friends & this was the perfect little house for the weekend. Awesome price as well!!
