Great place to tay for family with pet

This was a very convenient great place to stay for our 4th of July weekend. There was plenty of room for family and the fenced off area in the back was great to let our dog stretch his legs. They had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Fantastic home in a beautiful town

This home exceeded our expectations in every way. It is a spacious home that extends over two floors. The kitchen is well equipped, the office upstairs provides and additional private workspace and each of the three bedrooms is large and well furnished. The house is literally steps from Oberlin college. Generous space to park in the back. We really enjoyed our stay.

Visit Oberlin College

Looking at Oberlin College for our son. This place is 1 block from Tappan Squate which I think is the beginning of campus. Couldn’t be a better location to visit Oberlin College. Highly recommended.

Nice place close to town

I would stay again - the place is clean and conveniently located. The wall is a little thin between the apartment and the one on the other side of the house, but the neighbors weren't noisy.

Great Location, Pleasant, But...

Perfect location, clean and comfortable, with a couple of exceptions. 1) No light just inside the entrance, had to find a lamp in the dark. 2) Mattresses are soft, I tried two. You may be OK, but if your back requires a firm mattress as I do, these are a bit soft (not uncomfortably soft). 3) Washing your own dishes is fine, except that when you can't find a clean coffee mug, and have to wash your own dishes before you use them, not so great (only as clean as the last guest left them). 4) Didn't get the entry information at the time promised by VRBO and the code I did receive didn't work. I WAS able to get the right code after a few minutes with a call from the manager. Given the price, I still think this is a good value and a comfortable place to stay. Walking distance to all of downtown Oberlin and the college campus.

Great Location

Lovely back part of a house super close to Oberlin College and downtown area. Everything was clean and conveniently arranged. The living area and kitchen are spacious. It had all the utensils and cookware we needed for our visit. The owners were easy to contact and very helpful when we needed to change dates for our stay. I would definitely stay there again.

great location for visiting Oberlin College area

very convenient location in Oberlin, close to the art museum, college and downtown shops/restaurants. Very well equipped kitchen area. Might be more convenient for families if the smaller bedroom had twin beds. Look forward to staying again if available for future visits to Oberlin area.
