Peaceful 3-Acre Escape: Scenic & Central

Take in sunrises, sunsets, and maybe even spot some local wildlife—deer, eagles, hawks, or peregrine falcons. Step outside to a spacious backyard with plenty of cozy nooks to lounge, or stargaze beneath twinkling string lights. Inside, you'll find plenty to enjoy—stream movies, pop in a classic DVD, try out the workout gear, or dive into books, puzzles, and games for all ages. The fully stocked kitchen makes it easy to cook, snack, or settle in with a cup of something warm.

Hicksville, OH is 10 minutes away and offers a variety of dining options, gas stations, local shops, and basic grocery stores. For even more options, larger towns and cities—including Fort Wayne, IN—are only 30 to 45 minutes away, featuring shopping malls, restaurants, and entertainment venues. There are State Parks and lakes within driving distance as well, so you can gear up and do some outdoor exploration!

We've added special touches throughout to make your visit feel truly cared for. Past guests have described the cottage as peaceful, spotless, well-stocked, perfectly located—and even their favorite VRBO stay!

Please Note:

1. There's a security camera overlooking the drive that actively records video and audio.

2. There are a few steps leading into the house as well as front porch.

3. Being in the country, the water is well water and can have a slight smell and taste to it. The cottage has a special water faucet just for drinking.

We can't wait to (hopefully) welcome you to Sonrise Cottage soon!

Perfect get away

House was as advertised. Very clean, updated, and easy check-in/out process. To make it even more special, there were treats and delicious homemade cookies waiting for you at check-in. I highly recommend this. We will be back next fall!!

Quaint Happiness

Overall, quaint and cute place to stay. Was super close to my family who lives in Hicksville so that made it all the better. Easy check-in and check-out plus there weren't 1000 things that had to be done before check-out; just common sense ones like taking trash out and removing bedding/towels to a central location. I'd give an extra plus just for that! Overall, very nice stay and definitely would book again.

Very nice!

The house was close to town but still out in the country. It was very quiet. We enjoyed watching the deer from the front porch. The house was VERY clean and comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. The whole property was very well maintained. Owner was quick to get back with you. A really nice place.

Wonderful stay

Our family enjoyed the stay at Sonrise Cottage. The house was very clean and well appointed. We’ve come away with some wonderful decoration ideas to even use at home. The warm cookies upon arrival were a special treat after our 4 hour drive. Has the weather been drier and warmer we would have enjoyed being outside for a walk, grilling, and an evening bonfire. We will definitely consider staying here again. Sincerely, A very happy family

Sunrise Cottage is a gem - it is cozy and beautifully decorated. You will find everything you need for a great stay with a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer are an added bonus as well as books, games and movies to keep you entertained. I grew up in the area and the list of things to see and do included a few things I didn’t know about! We have stayed in many rentals and this is the best one ever. You will enjoy your stay and the responsiveness of your hosts! We will be returning for sure.

Cozy and comfy little cottage!

This little cottage was so comfortable and convenient to my daughter and her family in Edgerton. I was nominated to take the top bunk in the 2nd bedroom. Wasn’t expecting to sleep that great but was so surprised. The mattress was fantastic!!! I slept wonderfully! All of us did. Beautifully decorated. Very clean. Fresh cupcakes to welcome us when we arrived. Lydia was excellent in her communication with us. Our only issues were things that couldn’t be helped. We are city people and are not used to well water so the slight sulphur smell bothered us a little. We were also there during some of the coldest days of the year. The rooms were warm but the floor was cold. Easily fixed with some nice comfy thick socks from the local DG Market. Overall it was a fantastic place to stay!
