Entering the house was like walking into comfortable home your grandmas. 2 full bathrooms was so nice and made my sister and my morning routine go so smoothly. The kitchen had everything you needed with a spice rack and vinegar and oil which made cooking so much easier. The location was perfect for day trips to the surrounding areas.

This home is immaculate and lovely! It is very clear that the owners love having a rental and they have put care into the decor choices and finishes and cleanliness! We didn't mind the train but yes it is very close!The backyard could use some car, but we didn't need it. The air conditioning doesn't work quite as well upstairs but there is a downstairs bathroom with some walking to the bathroom. We stayed here for our son's wedding in Vandalia and reception in Troy and used it as a place to relax and get ready. It was a perfect distance between both!Tipp City is indeed a beautiful Ohio small town! We loved our visit. The design and decor was lovely. Thank you! We highly recommend!

Charming

Although we just stayed one night at this property as a halfway point to coming home to see family, it was very charming… The hosts also provides several little things like make up wipes, shampoo, conditioner, body soap etc.

So cute, great attention to detail

House was adorable and well kept! Got warm upstairs and no screen in the upstairs bedroom window. Location close to downtown and highway which is convenient but there is a train about two blocks away that ran throughout the night.
