Best Stay Ever’

I can't express enough how wonderful this place is. We came to town for a difficult occasion—a funeral—and had two little ones along with five adults in our group. The home was immaculate and provided everything we needed, including snacks, drinks, and any other items we may have forgotten. Our hosts were incredibly accommodating during this tough time, which made things much easier for our family as we navigated our grief.We will definitely stay here whenever we come into town to visit family, and I highly recommend this property to anyone. You will not be disappointed. My daughter even remarked that this house is her dream home; she loves older homes with character. I give this place 10 stars.!

Clean and comfortable

We had a baptism to attend and arrived in toen a little early. I notified Rich to see if there was any way that we could check-in early. Wirhout hesitation he was so accommodating and allowed us to access the property early. This gesture alone will have me returning to the property if ever in the area. The home was clean and plenty of room for our family. The beds were super comfortable and therrbwere plenty of extra supplies if needed.

Fantastic

The house was everything they advertised. Very clean and well kept. All amenities were as advertised. The extra snacks and drinks provided were a nice touch. Beds were comfortable. Only complaint-tv remote did not work due to dead batteries with no replacements. But we made due with no issues! Would stay here again in a heart beat!

My two cents worth

The property owner goes out of his way to take care of this guest. Lightning quick in returning phone calls/texts. Superior customer service Nice assortment of beverages and snacks on the property Why stay in some 600 sq ft hotel room when you can have the use of a entire home that is clean certainly far more private and comfortable for the same or even less money? I will be back again when I am in Youngstown Ohio.

Great Place

We were in town for the wedding of my son. The house was in a quiet neighborhood and was spacious enough for six adults. The basement bathroom made our stay much easier with so many getting ready every day. The house was very clean and nicely decorated . The kitchen had everything we needed and the beds and pillows were comfortable as well. I highly recommend!!!

This house was perfect for my family. The 4 bedrooms were great, the trundle bed worked for the 4 yr/old and the pack n play for the 8month old. The basement bathroom room was really great for us. Very nice neighbors and neighbor hood. When we come back to visit we will try to stay there again. The house was very clean and had great supplies. Thank You!!!

Cozy and completely stocked

This house is very cozy and has 4 very nice bedrooms. 7-8 people could stay, although we only had 4 of us. It also has 2 bathrooms to accommodate everyone. One on the 2nd floor (tub/shower) and one in the "basement" (walkin- shower) The host has stocked the bathrooms with basics to use if you forgot something. She also has stocked the kitchen for simple breakfast, which we needed on our early morning. Thank you so much! Highly recommend.

Great home to stay for the weekend

My daughter was getting married at Fellows Riverside Gardens, an hour away from our home, so we rented this home for the bridal party to stay and get ready for the Sunday morning wedding, since the house was less than 10 minutes away from the Gardens. The house was great for this! Plenty of beds for the bridal party of six to sleep, and for all us us to get ready in the morning. The house was really clean and comfortable, and we even had some snacks to greet us! If we ever need to stay in Youngstown again, I would stay here for sure.
