Perfect for Ladies Retreat

The Wayside Guest House is perfect. Everything was so clean. They provide all the amenities and even a few special touches. The location is great. There’s a little market right behind the house and a nature reserve with walking trails maybe a mile down the road. We would love to make this the place for our annual retreat!

My hubby and I were coming in town to visit family and we were so pleasantly surprised when entering the home. It was extremely clean and so comfortable! The owners have thought of EVERYTHING and had many extras that added to the comfort of our stay! The location was perfect - easy access to Mansfield and Bellville- we will definitely book again!

Lovely and Clean

This was, by far, one of the cleanest properties I've stayed at. Lovely neighborhood and I felt very safe. Our only issue, was that there was no TV and felt that it should state it better and in bold letters. While we don't sit and veg at the box, it is actually my down time as I was there for work and needed a bit on "brain inactivity". I work on a computer and we just need background noise and didn't want to look at the computer for that service. But would I stay again? Yes. The only other detail I would mention is that for someone who wasn't religious, the decor may be a bit off putting. Some guests may not feel comfortable with it with their personal lifestyle and beliefs. Simply our observation.

I’ve stayed in a decent amount of VRBOs, and this one is far and away the cleanest of all of them. Fantastic location if you need a spot for an event at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Very easy to get to. Follow the instructions from the owners/VRBO for locating the house as google maps sent us across the street. This was a great spot to relax after long, hot, humid days at the course. My only note is that I missed that there was no TV. I would’ve brought my laptop for falling asleep to Netflix or something had I known. No big deal though, just a worthwhile note to others. All in all, this is an awesome VRBO with well thought out provisions and supplies for guests. Good stuff!

A slice of Heaven

Our stay at the Wayside Guest House was amazing. This was our first VRBO experience and the owners hit it out of the park. The home was cozy, comfortable, and convienent to downtown Mansfield. Loved the small touches which made our stay feel welcoming. Definitely a must stay if you are in the Mansfield area.
