From the owner: "Hi Ruth—thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted that MudRunCreek felt so homey for your family and friends and that you enjoyed both our indoor living areas and outdoor spaces. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you all back anytime!"
We chose this property mainly for it's location to the Champion Center Arena in Springfield and the amount of bedrooms it offered. The house was beautiful, the online photos were extremely accurate, much larger than anticipated. Well stocked very clean would highly recommend if you are in need of a place to stay in that area. The beds were very comfortable and the showers offered tons of hot water for a large group.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Lisa! We’re really glad the house worked well for your group and that the location was convenient for the Champion Center Arena.It’s great to hear the photos matched what you found in person and that the home felt even larger than expected, well stocked, and very clean. We’re especially happy the beds were comfortable and the showers kept up with a big group needing lots of hot water.We truly appreciate the recommendation and would love to host you again anytime you’re back in the area!
We had family and friends over every day. It was wonderful!

Cynthia, Tim, Ashley, Randy, Hayleigh, and Hudson—thank you! Hearing that the home felt peaceful and that the small touches made a difference absolutely made my day. You took great care of the place. We’d love to host you again—summer was lovely, and fall at Mud Run Creek Retreat is gorgeous too. —Aaron
This house us the perfect size for my family to be able to enjoy themselves, but still have their own space when needed on a trip. The location of the property is perfect for our local family.
This property was just what we needed and had a really great selection of kitchen tools, including a crockpot. The beds were comfortable and linens were clean. The thermostat could use some instructions as there is a schedule you have to program or the temp will default back to whatever the last person set which in our case was 64 degrees. There’s plenty of parking and it’s a quiet neighborhood with a small playground just down the street. If you have small kids (we had a 1 and 3 year old), be prepared to keep a very close eye on them as there are a lot of things at their level that they shouldn’t be messing with - fireplace, gaming systems, trinkets. Overall we loved the property and I would stay there again.

From the owner: "Thank you so much for staying with us and for the thoughtful, detailed review! We’re glad the house had what you needed, especially in the kitchen, and that you found the beds comfortable, linens clean, and the neighborhood quiet and convenient.Thank you as well for calling out the thermostat and the little-kid considerations. We’ve added more precise instructions for the thermostat so future guests won’t have to wrestle with the schedule, and we’re reviewing a few ways to make things easier for families with curious toddlers while still keeping the space cozy and fun for everyone.We really appreciate you taking such good care of the place and would be happy to host you again anytime."
One of the nicest properties in which I have stayed. So many amenities. Perfect for a family gathering or business trip. Love it and will stay again next time we are down this way!
The house is super clean and fully stocked and wonderful! We were traveling to visit family with our 4 year old and LOVED the bunk room, game room and games (husband did too). Highly recommend and the hosts were super proactive in the communication ahead of check in. Cannot say enough good things about our stay!

A great place to stay.
Nice and clean home in a great neighborhood that was quiet. The house had all the amenities that was needed. They took a whole lot of family in mind with all kinds of games and just a great layout.
This house was exactly as described in the description and spotless! The owners/management company thought of everything. I highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a place to stay in this area!
I came to Yellow Springs to attend a yoga retreat with friends. The house was perfect- nice extras- fire pit, quiet backyard, tea and coffee station, spices, condiments, games…. The blow drier was broken and when I mentioned it to the owner he thanked me for letting him know so he could replace it. Beds and pillows were super comfy.

From the owner: "Hi Melissa, thank you for choosing Mud Run Creek Retreat for your Yellow Springs yoga retreat! I’m so glad the fire pit, quiet backyard, tea & coffee station, and all the little extras helped make your stay perfect. Thanks again for flagging the blow dryer—I’ve replaced it so future guests won’t miss out. It’s wonderful to hear the beds and pillows hit the mark, and you’re always welcome back whenever you need a cozy, peaceful home base!"
The house and amenities were great. The house was a little cold and the heat didn’t heat the entire house. My kids loved the games and had a great time.

From the owner: "We are so happy you loved the house and appreciated the history of it. We can’t wait for you all to visit again!"
Flew in from Minneapolis to attend the 50th reunion of my Little League World Series girls softball team. Brought my husband and 83 y/o mom and visited many old friends from Huber Heights and Dayton and my cousin & her husband. Great location to meet up and reconnect.
We visited Ohio for a wedding and opted to stay in a home rather than the local Marriott. I am so glad we did! We spent each night gathered in the game room talking, playing and watching movies. Each morning started with a family breakfast and I was able to cook. We absolutely loved the home, the yard, the neighborhood.... everything. Thank you!

Quiet neighborhood that trains your relaxation response. We enjoyed the dedicated office, cozy sitting room, and the entertainment center. Fully appointed kitchen made it like a home away from home. Location strikes a nice balance between being far enough away to be peaceful and relaxing while also being close enough to be convenient. Highly recommend.

A Perfect Stay!
The owners were extremely quick and clear with all communication.
The house is spacious and clean. The beds were comfy and linens were high quality. The kitchen is well equipped with dishes, appliances, spices and condiments. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio listening to the creek, and used the grill one night.
The neighborhood was quiet and safe; and is close to a grocery store, a few restaurants, and the cities of Columbus and Dayton too!
Our recent stay at this rental was nothing short of exceptional. The home accommodated six adults comfortably, exuding warmth and cleanliness throughout. Notably, the well-functioning grill added to the charm, and the electronic dartboard provided lots of competitive fun.
The neighborhood was peaceful and perfect for walking, contributing to an overall atmosphere of comfort and tranquility.
The highlight, however, was the host's exceptional communication, which enhanced our stay significantly. Quick to respond and incredibly helpful, they added a personal touch that elevated the entire experience.
In short, for a perfect balance of homely comfort and professional management, we highly recommend this rental. Our stay was truly memorable, thanks to the functionality & cleanliness of the house and the exceptional hospitality of the host.
Wow! We had a wonderful time at this house. It made the perfect place to relax after a few days of sightseeing. Everything was comfortable and clean. And there was plenty of room for the whole family (mama, daddy, 1 kid, 2 teens and grandparents) to spread out. My kids LOVED the NES throwback AND the Wii (Kirby for the WIN!). The bedrooms were a bit on the small size, but they worked. And I was happy to find a house with 2 bathrooms. The back yard was lovely, although we didn't get much time to hang out back there. My youngest and I were disappointed that we couldn't get down to the creek to play.The neighborhood was quiet and well maintained. Nothing super fancy, but we felt very comfortable being there. And there is a small playground at the end of the street.My biggest complaint is now my kids are asking for a dart board for Christmas! (They didn't realize how good mama was at that game!) :) I did send a question to the owners via Vrbo asking a few questions beforehand that were never answered, however, once the check-in information was texted to me (the day before) all other questions were answered in a very timely manner, and the owners were very nice in their responses. Oh, and my kids liked the map in the front room and reading through the guest book.Overall, they are all asking to go back to Ohio to visit and this house in top of the list to stay again. Thank you so very much.

Thank you so much for this incredibly kind and detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear the house was a comfortable, clean place for everyone to relax after busy days of sightseeing, and that there was enough space for mama, daddy, kid, teens, and grandparents to spread out.We love that your kids got such a kick out of the NES throwback and the Wii (Kirby really is the win 😄), and that everyone had fun with the dartboard and games. Sounds like you discovered mama’s secret dart skills too!Thank you for mentioning the bedrooms and bathrooms as well—while the bedrooms are a bit cozy, we’re glad they still worked for your family and that the second bathroom was a plus.About the backyard and creek: we’re so glad you enjoyed the view, and we completely understand wanting to get down there to play. At the moment, creek access is limited for safety and erosion reasons, but we’re always thinking about ways to balance fun with keeping things safe and stable.I also want to apologize for t

Roomy & cozy
Had 7 people & still plenty of space!! Only reason not rated 5 stars was that itvwas very cold during our stay, it was 55 inside the home when arrived & the Nest thermostat kept turning the heat down & the family room/office were heated by using space heaters. Plenty of blankets/throws were provided, however. Aaron, the owner, was very accommodating however in getting a new space heater sent ASAP and responded promptly to my texts. I would have no qualms staying here again! On a sidenote, Biscuit World was awesome for breakfast, and fairly close!
