It was perfect, a nice welcome sign when you walked in. Cinnamon rolls 1 for each of us. Extremely clean, and notes left for you. It was retro decor my era I will use them again. Even our 6 month old had fun.

Wedding

We stayed for a wedding at Stone Ridge Golf Club. Michelle met us when we got there and walked us through where everything was at in the house. The house was spotless and stocked with everything we needed including cinnamon rolls! Was the perfect location to get to downtown Bowling Green and to the golf club. Would highly recommend this spot for your next trip to Bowling Green

One of my best stays from a vacation getaway site. Host was communicative and adaptable when we had some last minute changes to our plans. She even mailed us back some items we had left behind!

Perfect home in BG

We rented this home for my daughter’s graduation weekend. The home was perfect. We had everything we needed. The basement “playroom” was used by our 1 year old granddaughter and our 20 year old kids. They loved the toys, games, WII, record player! So much fun! Everyone enjoyed the hot tub. The home was very clean and nicely decorated for Christmas. Perfect place for our weekend stay.

Wonderful week

My son attended a middle school camp at BSU for a week and we absolutely loved our stay at the Mid Mod Retreat! There is absolutely no comparison of this spotless home to a hotel room. The hosts were not only kind and thoughtful, but more than accommodating to our family and our needs. I highly recommend this home. Not only because of its proximity to BSU, but also because of the attention to detail that the hosts have taken. Wonderful place to stay!

Bowling Green Gem

We truly enjoyed our stay! The hosts have thought of everything; the kitchen is very well stocked. Many great options for entertainment and fun(tvs in all rooms, video game console, great Wi-Fi, expansive selection of games). The home was very clean and had everything one could need. The location was great. Close to all things but peaceful and quiet. The decor was meticulously selected and creates an enjoyable environment to spend time. Truly one of the best VRBOs we’ve stayed in.

This by far exceeded my expectations. This was my first VRBO rental and Michelle was so easy to communicate with and made the whole process easy and enjoyable. We LOVED the hot tub, the unique super cute space, and the game room downstairs. All the lowest little touches made a huge difference in our comfort and experience. We will be coming back again!!

About the host

Hosted by Michelle & Scott Roehl

Host profile image
We’re Michelle & Scott, a Bowling Green family who’ve loved raising our kids here, minutes from Bowling Green State University, historic downtown, parks, and the Wood County fairgrounds. Hosting lets us share what we enjoy most about BG: friendly people, great local eats, and easy access to campus events.

We keep things simple: spotless spaces, thoughtful touches, clear communication, and quick help if you need anything. Whether you’re here for BGSU visits, a weekend getaway, or to explore Northwest Ohio, we’re glad to offer our home as your comfortable base. Welcome to BG!

Why they chose this property

Because it offers what most BG stays don’t: a year-round indoor/outdoor breezeway hot tub, a private, landscaped, fully fenced backyard, and a rec room with games for most ages—all just minutes to BGSU and historic downtown. Pair real privacy and mid-century style with practical comforts (fast Wi-Fi, full kitchen, easy driveway parking) and responsive local hosts.

All-season indoor/outdoor hot tub (covered & private): unwind after games or on snowy nights.
Fully fenced, landscaped backyard: quiet coffee mornings, safe kid play, and relaxed evenings.
Rec room with games + streaming: built-in fun between campus events or date-night plans.
Family-friendly 3BR / 4-bed layout: everyone sleeps well; room to spread out.
Minutes to BGSU & downtown BG: easy for visits, game days, and commencement.
Thoughtful local touches: curated mid-mod decor and pieces by BG artists—authentic, not cookie-cutter.
Authentic mid-mod charm plus comfort upgrades: two pillow types, French press & pour-over, and luxury robes for hot-tub nights.
Smooth, reliable stay: clear communication, and a spotless, well-stocked home.

Built for BGSU families, alumni meet-ups, and cozy winter couples’ getaways—comfort, privacy, and convenience in one Mid-Mod retreat.

What makes this property unique

Minutes to it all: Less than 5 minutes to historic downtown BG and about 5-7 minutes to BGSU—easy for game days, campus visits, and dining.

Year-round indoor/outdoor hot tub: A high end Master Spa in the breezeway—private, covered, and opens to the fenced backyard for steamy soaks in any season.

Private backyard oasis: Fully fenced, landscaped retreat with fire pit, hammocks, and seating—quiet mornings, relaxed evenings, and safe kid play.

Rec room built for fun (and calm): Yoga nook, foosball, Xbox 360, Wii and board games for most ages—perfect between events or on snow days.

Sleep well, wake happy: Three bedrooms with luxurious mattresses and clean, traditional bedding so everyone rests and recharges.

Cook like home: A well-equipped full kitchen—including crock pot—plus a one-of-a-kind end-grain cutting board handcrafted by a local artisan.
