The Space
This home is designed for more than simply having a place to sleep. It offers comfortable spaces to gather, relax, play, and enjoy time with the other registered guests in your group.
The living room blends original mid-century character with comfortable furnishings for conversation, reading, or settling in for a movie. The well-equipped kitchen makes it easy to enjoy meals at home, while the dining room and breakfast bar provide plenty of space to gather.
Downstairs, the rec room adds another level of fun with Xbox 360 and Wii gaming, a vintage foosball table, and a large collection of family-friendly board and card games. A separate yoga nook provides a quieter place to stretch and recharge.
Private Backyard Retreat
Step outside to a landscaped, fully fenced backyard designed for both relaxation and fun. Start the morning with coffee on the deck, unwind in one of the hammocks beneath the trees, enjoy outdoor dining, gather around the fire bowl, or challenge someone to a yard game.
The fenced setting adds a level of privacy that can be hard to find in a short-term rental while still keeping you close to everything Bowling Green has to offer.
Indoor/Outdoor Hot Tub
One of the home’s most unique features is the four-person Master Spa hot tub located inside the breezeway. Enjoy the privacy and protection of a covered space year-round, or open the custom garage door overlooking the backyard to create an indoor/outdoor experience.
It’s an especially inviting place to unwind after a BGSU game, campus visit, dinner downtown, or a cold Ohio winter day.
Sleep & Comfort
All three bedrooms are located on the main floor and feature comfortable mattresses, clean bedding, two pillow types plus extra pillows, and thoughtful touches throughout.
The guest-favorite purple bedroom has direct access to the breezeway, placing the hot tub just steps outside the bedroom door. The second queen bedroom overlooks the backyard, while the third bedroom includes two Twin XL beds and can also accommodate a Pack ’n Play for younger guests.
Especially Well Suited For
Couples looking for a relaxing Bowling Green getaway with a private hot tub, robes, coffee options, and plenty of space to unwind.
BGSU parents, families, and alumni visiting for campus tours, sporting events, Family Weekend, Homecoming, commencement, and other university events.
Families and small groups who appreciate separate gathering spaces, games for a wide range of ages, a fenced backyard, and the comforts of a full home.
Guest Access
Guests have access to the entire home, rec room, breezeway hot tub, private fenced backyard, and driveway.
When available, we personally welcome guests with a brief orientation to the home and hot tub so you can settle in comfortably and know where everything is from the start.
House Rules
The home accommodates a maximum of 6 registered guests, and only registered guests may be on the property or use the hot tub.
Quiet hours are 10 p.m.–8 a.m. Sunday–Thursday and midnight–8 a.m. Friday and Saturday. No parties or events are permitted. This is an animal-free home. Hot-tub care instructions are provided on site.
We simply ask that guests treat the home with care and let us know if something needs attention so we can help promptly.
Bowling Green Lodging Tax
The City of Bowling Green has approved a lodging tax applicable to short-term rentals. Once the City establishes the effective date, the required tax will be added to reservations for stays occurring on or after that date, regardless of when the reservation was originally booked.

Super cute place for a weekend getaway!! Not to far from the zoo which that’s the reason why we were coming to Ohio!! The hosts were great! Thank you again for the home and hot tub!!!
Excellent place to stay. We were there on a friend trip and had the perfect setting. We were welcomed and felt as if we were staying with friends. The place is cozy and charming. The hot tub was perfect. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you for choosing our home for your trip. It was a true pleasure to host you and your friends. Please consider visiting again.
This property was super clean and exactly as the listing promised. I would absolutely stay here again, everything was perfect! The owners are super nice and were available to help with anything we needed!
My family and I stayed here for a week and couldn’t have asked for a better place. Not only is this the cleanest house I’ve ever stayed, it has a great setup for family fun and relaxation. Awesome hosts as well!
This stay was everything we hoped for and more. The host made us feel truly welcomed — from helping me with a small rental‑agreement hiccup to giving us a full tour and making sure we had everything we needed. The thoughtful touches throughout the home made our family feel cared for.The property itself was perfect: cozy, comfortable, private, and full of fun. The hot tub was wonderful, the backyard was beautiful, and the game room was a huge hit. I told my husband before we even left that we’ll be back next year. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for the kind words. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. Fingers crossed that next year, the weather is better for the soccer tournament. ☺️
This property is super cute, exceptionally clean and has all the amenities you could ever need. The hosts are very responsive and helpful. They made sure we had everything we needed and checked to make sure things were going alright. We will definitely be staying again while visiting our son at BGSU.
Our stay was perfect! The house is decorated wonderfully and really makes you feel at home! The hot tub and beautiful back yard were amazing! Michele was great to work with - we will definitely be back next time we are in town for a curling tournament!
The house was well decorated in a lovely area near everything. There were fun places to hang out both indoors and outdoors. Michelle and Scott were excellent hosts and helpful with local advice - best ice cream, restaurants, and short cuts for traveling around in the area. We would definitely stay there again.

We loved hosting you both and hope you can visit Bowling Green again!
We really enjoyed having a relaxing stay with family. The home was beautiful and loved the hot tub and the variety of games to play. The hosts even provided treats for our family to enjoy. We would definitely recommend.
If you appreciate cleanliness - you will love this place!
My son & I took a road trip and I can’t stress enough how grateful we were to the attention to detail on cleaning at this place. The owners are great with communication & the house is wonderfully located in a great spot in town. I can’t wait for the opportunity to stop by again.
property was well kept, everything was exquisitely maintained, interior and exterior were all in great shape. Inside the house was very clean and well kept. Overall, everything was exceptional.
My wife and I was in need of a weekend getaway. We were looking for someplace nice, quiet and romantic. This place covered that and then some. Owners are nice and have thought of everything. Nice near by restaurants and things to do. The backyard and hot tub is fantastic! We can't wait to come back again!
Perfect place for relaxing and unwinding. And it's in a beautiful small city with lots to do and see. Hosts are incredible, house is amazing. Not much more to say then what a wonderful weekend we were able to have. Thank you so much for making it a spectacular weekend for us.
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.
This place was immaculate. It had everything you could need and more. The owner Michelle was fantastic to work with. They have gone above and beyond with this home. We will be back.
5 stars is NOT enough need like 100 stars! This place is amazing if you like mid-modern history paired with modern updates. As owner mentioned in one of pictures you could eat off the floor it is so immaculate and clean! Even a five star general who is doing a white glove inspection would agree. Don't hesitate to stay here; hosts were amazing and went above and beyond to check in and take care of any needs if any we needed (but didn't have any). We cannot wait to return! Thank you Michelle & Scott for sharing your beautiful home with us.
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! The house is as advertised with an awesome story behind it; great for kids and adults alike. Beautiful backyard.
