This house was perfect for our group! We enjoyed how close it was to restaurants and shopping areas. The yard is large enough for outdoor activities, it’s shaded, clean and secluded. At night, the fire pit was great to sit around. The house was very clean and they even had their flag half mast for 9/11.All around a great experience.

From the moment we arrived it felt welcoming and cared for. The space was cozy, smelled amazing, and thoughtfully decorated, making it feel like a true home away from home. Clean, well stocked with random things like coffee, medical kit, toiletries. Country setting but close enough to small cities and hiking. I contacted the owner about a non emergency question and was replied to immediately. Communication was great the entire time. Everything about our stay was superb! The sunsets were pretty amazing too!!

Summer Break at the Schoolhouse

Our group of women who all met working at a school district here in Ohio, had the best time at this converted old schoolhouse. The house was very comfortable and roomy, and we were amazed at the attention to detail. We took a trip to Yellow Springs, which was a short 10 minute drive. We will definitely recommend this house to friends and family.

Weekend getaway with some friends and we loved our stay! The house is so clean and inviting! The outdoor area with the porch swings and firepit allowed us all to swing and catch up! We could have stayed out there forever! Can't wait to go back!

Idyllic Vacation

My sister, mother, aunt and I were in Xenia to do some genealogical research. This was the perfect location. The beds are amazing, the home was cozy and clean, and they even dropped off an HDMI cord so we could put our research on the TV instead of huddling around a computer.It was an excellent visit and we would happily stay here again

Grad weekend

The house is well appointed, clean and comfortable. Worked well as we needed 4 beds for family on graduation weekend. We had a lot going on elsewhere, but wish we had more time to relax and enjoy the home and patio. Loved the history and what they’ve done with it.

Perfect for our family with grandparents

We stayed for the weekend of Cedarville University’s graduation and were so pleased with our stay. The home is beautiful, exceptionally clean, so tastefully decorated. My parents who were in town from Orange County Ca said they would love to the Midwest if they could live in a house like the schoolhouse. We loved our stay! 10/10 across the board!

One of the BEST!!

From the moment we walked in, we were in awe of this house. It immediately smelled clean and inviting. The owners thought of everything! The kitchen was fully stocked for any cooking/eating you would want to do! They even supply some basic spices and coffee/tea.There is plenty of onsite parking and the house is conveniently located to get to many places easily. We would definitely return if we are planning to be in the area again. This is a beautiful, clean home that the owners really take pride in!
