We stayed two nights and enjoyed the large kitchen table, where we worked on a puzzle and enjoyed our meals at the cottage. Everything was comfy, and cozy!

Annie's house is an adorable, cozy but spacious, and clean place to stay. It's convenient to the interstate, airport, and all the activities in the greater Cincinnati area. We will definately look at staying again when we visit.

We stayed here because we wanted to take our family of 6 snowboarding at Perfect North Slopes about 20 minutes away. Loved the little neighborhood this house was in as well. It kept us warm the night it snowed, bed was cozy, water was hot, kitchen was a perfect size, and the kids all loved it too. Not far from Cincinnati and we even spent a day at the AF Museum in Dayton.

Everything was very smooth and we were able to get in and had plenty of sleeping areas with a good amount of blankets and pillows. The kids enjoyed going to the games room both evenings. Thanks.

The house was perfect for us to come back to after a day of football games and being outside. It was nice to have a yard for the kids to play and to be able to cook and not be in a hotel.

Overall this was a great place to stay and I would recommend it. She keeps it clean and it's nicely decorated. The house has all the basic necessities, and a very comfy king bed which we enjoyed. We wanted to use the charcoal grill outside but couldn't find any charcoal/lighter fluid. Decided to make the burgers inside on the stove. I found the charcoal & starter the next day (darn it!) in a lower cabinet by the kitchen back door. But I take the blame for that. I didn't reach out and ask, I simply figured we needed to purchase it ourselves and we hadn't brought any. There were a few pesky cobwebs up high but I know they can come quickly even w/regular cleanings. This is an older home so the bathroom is small but serves it's purpose (one at a time). People should set their expectations accordingly - this is a very poor little town; the house is in town in a residential neighborhood. But it's a safe area - kids are all outside playing after school, riding bikes, etc. It has a field across the street and we sat out on the porch, watching 5-6 deer come down to feed at dusk. Neighbor said the deer come down often, so that was beautiful to watch. We got a 3 day bouncer pass to the Creation Museum (10 mins away) and Noah's Ark (50 mins away) so this was a great location for us since museum was close. You also cannot take your own food into the museum so if you don't opt to eat there, you can make the quick drive back to the house to grab lunch. Thanks for a great stay!
