Perfect for a quiet weekend away.

We stayed here for a quiet weekend away from parenting and work. It was a perfect place to relax and recharge. Patty is very thoughtful in providing not only the basics but any extras other owners would not. It made the experience that much better. We would definitely consider coming back!

Exceeded expectations

We had a great stay! They offered some nice little perks like spa robes for heading out to the hot tub and a lovely variety of coffee, tea, and hot cocoa for the keurig and all the fixins for s’mores. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the woods and the easy hike to the waterfall. The place was VERY well-kept and tidy, and the furnishings were comfy and cozy. I would definitely recommend staying here.

A Wonderful Experience and Great Host

My daughter stayed with her teenage children and friends when they were swimming at a meet at Miami University. They wanted somewhere to stay especially during down time between sessions each day. Patty was absolutely a wonderful host and the house was fantastic. They had great time!! I would 100% recommend renting this VRBO and hope to do so when the 15 year old swims there next year!

Relaxing and peaceful retreat

I recently stayed at Takoda Falls retreat with my two teenage kids as we were touring Miami U. The home was warm and welcoming and exceptionally clean. The owners paid attention to every detail and left some comforts of home to enjoy (s'more fixings and popcorn). We relaxed in the hot tub and enjoyed the scenery. It was a very quick and easy drive to Miami's campus as well. We will definitely be back.

Amazing place for a getaway

My wife and I were looking for a cabin style getaway with a hot tub. Patty and Larry's place was perfect for what we were looking for and felt like a home away from home. The home was extremely nice, clean, fully stocked with everything you need, and had a great cabin theme. Its very private and peaceful on the property. We took a morning walk to the nearby Takoda Falls which the property is named after which was relaxing and scenic. Overall we were extremely pleased with everything about our stay and will be recommending our friends and family to stay here! Brian and Brittany

Lovely, Relaxing Weekend!

Three ladies in our forties stayed here for a weekend of hot tubbing, crocheting, knitting, and relaxing. Patty has thought of everything! Every possible need has been anticipated. The rooms were immaculate, the space was open and well-lit, and the handmade table in the dining area is absolutely stunning. My favorite little touch was the dinosaur hiding in the rock garden! Such a quiet weekend surrounded by nature. Thanks for a great stay- we would love to stay here again!

Peaceful

We have stayed at numerous VRBO properties and this one was at the top of the list in every category. The attention to detail... the personal touches... comfortable furniture...etc. We took the short hike to the falls... which was delightful. We traveled to the area for a graduation and now have no reason to be back in the area. We've already decided we will need to find a reason just to stay here again. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would do it in a heartbeat.

This place is the best place I’ve stayed. It is so clean and nice. Patti provides so much with a lot of extra touches such as plenty of condiments, spices, eggs, butter, creamer, etc. lots of nice outdoor seating areas and hot tub. We loved sitting outside watching the birds at the feeders with provided binoculars. It’s a birders dream location! Patti is very responsive when you ask questions and goes above and beyond to make you feel at home!!! She even put chairs on the hill for us to watch the eclipse! I definitely recommend this place. You won’t be disappointed!
