Perfectly Small House

Small studio house, 560 sq ft, with all the comforts of home. Updated and smart home technology. Great for individual or couple. Many things to do in close proximity to home. Hop on the 300 miles of bike trail where an entrance is only a mile away. Then come home to grill and relax in your private hot tub. Take in all the sites and activities Xenia, Yellow Springs and Dayton has to offer. All close. Street parking across from house. Fenced in backyard for fido. We accept any size dog/dogs as long as you are a responsible owner.

One of our best stays

We've enjoyed dozens of good short term rentals, with "the perfectly small house" setting the new standard for thoughtful hospitality. Everything we needed--ice, a cold drink, a comfortable bed--was already there. And anything we might want--down to eyeglass cleaner--was on hand. Five stars and we hope to be back

Great space for a couple!!

We loved our anniversary getaway!! The home was easy to find, very clean and had everything we needed. We cooked several meals and the owners very kindly had some necessities like spices, butter, etc. to help. The hot tub was an amazing end to our days!

Cozy & Clean - Highly Recommend

This charming house is spotless with modern features and decor. The hot tub is a nice addition and the back patio is lovely. The hostess is as sweet as the house - going above and beyond with accommodations (like filling the fridge with drinks & snacks, leaving hand-made chocolate confections for me, etc). The location is central with easy access to coffee shops, restaurants, and fueling stations. I highly recommend this property for rest & relaxation, or even a stop along your travels.

We’ve been missing out!!

This place is a hidden gem. From the minute we booked Bonnie and Dave were amazing to work with. You walk in to a house with absolutely everything a person would need. Even though we have family in town we can stay at, we will def be booking here from now on.

Perfect!

This adorable house was perfect! Light and bright, just the right size. Comfy bed. Well-stocked kitchen. But the best thing was our host, Bonnie, who outdid herself in hospitality! We felt welcomed in every possible way, and we plan to stay here again during our next visit to Xenia.

This house was just perfect for the 2 of us! So CLEAN! We weren’t at the house a lot, but when we were, it was great! We enjoyed the little treats and snacks left by Bonnie and if we are ever heading to Xenia again, we will definitely check to see if this house is available! Definitely recommend!

Fantastic!

This was one of the best rentals on any platform I have used. Perfectly clean, adorably furnished and perfect interaction with host and met all needs. It’s hard to find nice spaces that allow dogs and I pride myself in making it looking like no one stayed there by the time we left. This place was perfect and while small, absolutely comfortable and perfect for single/couple travel. Thank you!

Hospitable perfect little place

Honestly we have never stayed at a better VRBO. It was absolute perfection. I was blown away with every little detail that was thought through. The place was extremely clean, super cute, and we were very spoiled with all of the thoughtful details of everything and anything we could have needed or thought of. The host went above and frankly way beyond what I've ever experienced at a vacation home, from the sweetest special treats and drinks to great local recommendations. We used all of it and are super grateful. Trust me you will want to stay at this one!

Best VRBO Experience Yet

We wanted to come check out Yellow Springs, but didn't want to stay in downtown. We found this house and from the beginning the communication with the host was incredible. When we got to house, we were so surprised with the "extras" the host left for us. Drinks, snacks, leaving the crockpot out since I had mentioned I would be cooking. I have never had such an amazing interaction or stay. We will definitely be back and we have recommended this to our friends as well!

Bonnie has created a wonderful little oasis with this property. The inside is so thoughtfully laid out & well-appointed with everything you might need. She even asked about favorite snacks & beverages & had them on hand for me. Very good attention to detail! The AC worked well keeping it a pleasant temperature inside even with high heat & humidity outside that weekend and it drown out any noise from the street. I enjoyed my stay here.

It has any amenities you could want. Neighborhood was quiet. Owners went above expectations in working with us. Enjoyed the extras they provided such as our preferred coffee and creamer. They quickly replace a Keurig that had malfunctioned. They take care of the outside as well as inside with care. Used it as a base to go to our family reunion.
