The absolute BEST

This is our fifth stay in this beautiful home! It is definitely home away from home! The deer out in the backyard in the snow were beautiful. Thanks for keeping the deer fed! We will be back in about 6 months and hopefully this will be available. Thank you Mark and Sue for sharing your home.

Family Stay

The property had enough space for the 5 of us. It had lots of every type of dish or appliance you might need in the kitchen. The house stayed very warm for the cold winter weekend as we watched the snow & deers in the woods. Thanks for having us!

Mixed experience

On the positive side, the house was well-placed for visiting Oberlin and was clean and well-furnished. The low stars on cleanliness is because the house had an unpleasant odor very noticeable every time we entered the house. It also appeared to us that on two occasions someone had been in the house in our absence, turning on a light and turning on a laptop.

Restful Retreat

We enjoyed staying in our hometown, near country roads for a fall drive. The local deer stopped by a couple of times. The peaceful back porch was used every evening watching the sun retreat. Hope to return next year when we visit family in the area.

Scenic Hideaway

We had a lovely time at this beautiful home. I’m from Texas, so the snow was a wonderful bonus. The home was so relaxing, clean, comfortable, and full of every amenity that we needed. The view from the back patio was truly lovely! I highly recommend staying at this excellent VRBO!

Fabulous secluded home

The house was everything and more. The screen porch was our favorite place for morning coffee and evening wine. We watched deer and rabbits every day. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well furnished, the living room was comfortable. Spacious driveway. Couldn't ask for more. Owners very responsive. Recommend, and we'd stay again!

Home away from home

We were in Ohio for my daughter's college graduation and the house was a great option for us, only 8 miles from the Oberlin campus and stocked with everything you could possibly need. A particular treat was the beautiful screened patio - great place to watch birds and enjoy nature!

Quiet retreat

This immaculate home has everything you could want. It is spacious and well cared for. You have the whole house looking over a peaceful backyard. The location is perfect as you are very close to the town of Amherst and not far from shopping, parks and if necessary, the highways.

We had a great stay at the house. This was our third visit this fall. The house was just like the last trips. Clean, great communication and everything you could need for an enjoyable time. The view from the back porch was quite relaxing.

Great stay in Amherst

Very neat house in Amherst, less than 15 min away from Oberlin. Old, tasteful furniture, in good shape, a number of well thought- out closets, and small features throughout, comfortable beds, very clean and well organized. Sunny screened-in porch and view towards the woods, small water feature providing pleasant white noise to the porch. Planning to return!
