About this house rental

Exciting, fun and cozy townhome built in 1883 with tranquil views of the downtown skyline and the Great Miami River in a charming, historic district near downtown. The RiverScape Metropark, The Levitt Pavilion and multiple bars/restaurants are within walking distance. The excitement of the vibrant Oregon District is also within minutes, whether walking or driving, both WPAFB and Wright State University are an easy 10-15 minute drive! You will be impressed when you first arrive. Our townhome is spacious and very clean. We love the big windows and the abundance of natural light. The view of the river from the upstairs windows is our favorite part of the townhome and the proximity to fun, of course.

Our townhome is stylishly decorated in a vintage, modern and boho way. Additionally, the townhome just recently underwent an extensive renovation so almost everything from the floor, paint, kitchen, lighting fixtures and bathrooms are brand new. You'll have access to the entire townhome which includes a full kitchen and all its amenities. Pancake mix, microwave popcorn, coffee and tea are located in the cabinet above the coffee maker. In the upstairs bathroom, you will find shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the shower with additional personal hygiene items located under the sink which include a hair dryer, deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, a first aid kit, toilet paper etc. Bath towels, hand towels and washcloths are also located under the sink. Additional towels, iron, ironing board, extra pillows and extra blankets are located in the linen closet in the hallway upstairs.

Parking is available behind townhome, which is accessed though an alley located off of McDaniel Street. You will also have access to two outdoor spaces which include the front porch and the shared back deck.

We had a wonderful stay. The property was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was attentive and thoughtful, leaving us great treats and checking it to ensure we had everything we needed. Highly recommended for relaxing and enjoyable visit!

Lovely place with lots of nice touches. Drinks, snacks, and some breakfast items provided. Convenient .4 mile walk to Riverscape park. Appreciated downstairs half-bath, full kitchen, and plenty of space. Washer and dryer were a plus too, since we had been traveling for several days. Stairs and especially the claw-foot tub are not ideal for elderly or physically challenged. Bed adjacent to main bath was very low to the floor also, and not very comfortable. Bathroom location between two sleeping areas was awkward. Large window with no shade, (although it has frosted glass,) next to toilet was unsettling. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

This place is an amazing stay. We had a two night stay recently. It was amazing old townhome with new charm. Very clean. Organized and even came with high chair and more ! The supplies for the house were amazing. Truly a great experience.

There were several lovely aspects to this property- decor was lovely, location was good, and the host welcomed us with snacks and beverages. However, in order to access the only full bath (upstairs), we had to always go through others' bedrooms, which was not clear from the description on line. The claw foot tub was charming, but difficult for an older person (like myself). Using the shower was quite difficult, because the shampoo/soap holder would not stay in place. But the worst problem was the fact that there were mice. I didn't see them until the last night we were there, because I was up late. They were very active in the kitchen. I did communicate this to the host, but received no reply. Had she said, "I'm very sorry, we will deal with this right away," I might not have said anything on this review. But, with no reply whatsoever, I feel it only fair for any other future renters. Thank goodness, I'm not terrified of mice, but it was unsettling, to say the least. And there was absolutely NO food sitting out at all, or trash at all. We had removed all trash and garbage because we were leaving very early in the morning.

My family needed a place to watch Solar Eclipse and the location did not disappoint. It was near the river bank which was a great place to view, and get a nice walk in during the morning hours. The house was fully equipped, even had some breakfast items and a beautiful view of the river in the master room! We wouldnt hesitate to stay again.

Awesome restoration of city townhome close to everything in Dayton. All new, modern appliances in perfect working condition. Everything you need and many special extras from an amazing host, Melanie. Will return just to stay in her beautiful home and walk the Miami riverfront trail and enjoy city parks and museums close by.

Melanie was fantastic, the property was wonderful, easy to take walks on the river walk, and had fantastic amenities inside that made it feel like a home away from home. The neighbors all seemed friendly, and overall a great place for us to stay in Dayton! Thank you, Melanie for taking such great care of us this past week! :)

Charming property

The house was spotlessly clean. It was decorated very nicely. We were able to walk across the street and walk on a nice trail beside the river and also across the bridge into Dayton. There was a very nice park just across the bridge that we really enjoyed. We were able to meet the owner in person and she was very friendly. Thank you for the home away from home.

Short Stop-Over

Short Stop-Over

We were traveling from North Carolina to Wisconsin and were looking for some place to stop that was roughly half-way. We figured to get in, eat some dinner, go to bed and take off in the morning. When we got there, we loved the home, and when we walked to a restaurant to get something to eat, we really liked the area as well. Unfortunately most of the other businesses were closed by then, so we weren't able to explore them too much. Then next morning, after checking out, we just walked around the area, exploring some of the historic neighborhoods in the area. We found Dayton to be very nice, and are considering coming back to visit Dayton again, as we feel that we weren't able to properly explore. The home is very neat and clean, and our contacts with Kelley were always nice and prompt (even when I messaged her the night we got in and asked for restaurant recommendations!). We highly recommend visiting Dayton and staying at this home.

When we arrived I was a bit scared that the pictures wouldn't match what we saw on the website. When I opened the door it was everything I booked and more. This townhouse is a gem. The owner Melanie left me a note with welcoming instructions and heartfelt words. The place is absolutely beautiful and cozy. My only minor complaint would be the Wi-Fi on my phone not working properly but that's because I have horrible service LOL. Thank you again Melanie for allowing us to stay in your home.

Very beutiful place and owner was wonderful. I do not suggest staying if you have an elderly family member tho. Did not realize how steep steps are and she has crutches to walk and that was a task for sure. Not handicap accessible but we made it work.

Very convenient location for walking to downtown. Inside is super clean, spacious and very nicely decorated. Manager is great and communicates perfectly. Only complaints are shower is a bit cramped, upstairs is a little warm (but to be fair it was very hot outside during our stay), and exterior of property is pretty old. But overall a very nice place
