It was a great property for a large family. There were a couple of things to take into consideration... the stairs are pretty steep so my over 80 year old mother had to stay in the downstairs bedroom. Also there were a few things broken like the grill and knobs off cabinets, but I'm sure Timothy will get them fixed for the next renters. He was great to work with when a couple things came up, easy to communicate with and come up with solutions. Overall it worked for our whole family. Thanks Timothy!

First annual family girls trip!

We had a wonderful time during our stay. The house was perfect for our needs. It was clean and comfortable. Tim was very responsive to our questions during our stay. He even left some delicious bread and peanut butter for us to enjoy. 😊 Would definitely recommend this place for a large group.

Amish experience

Our family enjoyed the Amish stores, shops, and restaurants in the area. Our stay was enjoyable. The property is clean and quiet with great amenities. Many extras like a piano and game room. The owner even gave us a loaf of fresh Amish bread and some yummy spread for it! We really enjoyed the stay.

Wonderful Weekend

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was beautiful and perfect for our family and fur babies! The house had plenty of room for all of us. Our grandchildren loved the play room and the outside area. We went for a walk around the neighborhood which was very nice and clean. We hope to stay here again next year with our family. Thank you for making our stay wonderful!

Overall Stay

The property pictures showed a bedroom downstairs in the basement area, there was not a room in that area, actually that area was a little unsecure for animals. But in general, a great location to everything.

Great Place for Families!

We had 10+ Adults and 2+ Kids in the house at various times during our stay and there was room for everyone. We appreciate that a separate toy room with a few toys and outside toys were available for the kids. The house was clean and well-maintained with plenty of items in the kitchen, all in a quiet neighborhood. Everything was just as described!

The rental was spacious and a great quiet location in Sugarcreek. The steps to the upstairs bedrooms are very steep. There is a bedroom located on the first floor. We just felt that the home could use a deep thorough cleaning. May I suggest an update to the living room

Thank you for your review. We’re happy you enjoyed the spacious layout and the peaceful Sugarcreek location. As noted, the home does have a first-floor bedroom for those who prefer to avoid the upstairs steps. Regarding cleanliness, we do want to clarify that the home was thoroughly cleaned and inspected before your arrival. We take great care to maintain high standards for all our guests, and the property is regularly deep-cleaned as part of our process. We appreciate your thoughts on the living room style and will keep that in mind for future updates. Thank you again for staying with us!

Swiss Fest

My extended family and I stayed here for the annual Swiss Festival. I grew up in Sugarcreek but have since moved away and it was in the perfect location to walk downtown for the festivities. Tim was a wonderful host and very responsive. When we wanted to stay an extra day, he was very quick to respond which made for a more relaxed enjoyable long weekend. There was a play/game room that kept my 2 toddlers occupied during our downtime. Beds were very comfortable. Would certainly rent again.

Memorial Day Weekend

The place was great for kids. It has plenty for all age kids to do. The host was very good at getting back to us and taking care of our requests as soon as possible. Driving up to the property isn’t very pleasant because it is not mowed in the front so it makes you wonder about the house. The house could use some upkeep done to it, like it's missing draw pulls in the kitchen and the yard, when mowed, wiuld have been great if the grass would have been bagged so the hrass wasn’t tracked into the house. We know it must be difficult hosting a family of 10 with two dogs, but it was a very enjoyable stay.

Just the size house we were looking for

This house worked very well for our group of 8. Everyone had space and didn't feel cramped. The only drawback was the parking. There was 4 vehicles and 2 had to park in a business lot and walk across the street, up an alley and come in the back door because there are no front steps. The kitchen was great. We cooked a couple of meals during our stay. And 2 big tables to sit down and eat. The 1/2 bath on the first floor was a good thing instead of going upstairs. And we enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings.

Disappointed

The house was not clean! After traveling 7 hours we had to sweep every room in the house, clean the bathrooms including toilets and shower, wash towels and bedding and clean the kitchen counters, stovetop and sink. It was very disappointing. The house was nice and in a good location but no one wants to do all that when you really should be relaxing. The homeowner did give us a small credit.

Hi Abby, Thank you for your feedback. I’m genuinely sorry to hear that the home was not as clean as expected upon your arrival, and I apologize for the inconvenience. Our goal is for every guest to have a relaxing and enjoyable experience from the moment they walk in. I appreciate that you brought the issues to my attention, allowing me to address them immediately and to provide the $200 credit you requested to make up for the inconvenience. Your experience matters greatly, and we are already working with our cleaning team to ensure this won’t happen again. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and I hope we can host you again under better circumstances. Warm regards, Timothy

The property is in need of some maintenance and updating. The kitchen was not very clean and there were numerous ants present for a couple days. Half of the base cabinets and drawers are missing pulls and knobs. From a safety standpoint, the stairs are steep and stair treads shallow. The stairs are open to the dining area (no rail at all on one side). The handrail on the other side of the stairs ends 4 or 5 steps from the bottom. Not suitable for the older adults and children in our group.
