Rackett Enterprise LLC was started in 2006 with the encouragement of our parents, Bill & Jean Marie Rackett. There are 9 children in our family between the ages of 65 and 48. Our goal is to remain a close knit family in our later years of life. Mom and Dad always provided us with opportunities to get together for the holidays, vacations, picnics and sleepovers so their 9 children, 29 grandchildren and 31 great- grandchildren would be able to spend time together. By starting this business, our parents knew we would have a meeting each year so we would never lose our family connection when they were no longer with us. In February, 2014 our dad went to heaven to be with his wife of 60 years. We have a beautiful historic home in Lebanon, Ohio where we grew up and have wonderful memories. Now, the dilemma is: What do we do with this 5 bedroom home?

This is a fabulous place to stay with a large group. Big rooms, beautiful outdoor space, and walkable to downtown. The Rachett family was easy to work with and we had everything we needeed. Would stay here again.
This is really a great spot. We had 8 or so including 2 children and the house was very comfortable. The history of this home was so fascinating to learn about, and the owners left a ton of documented literature.
We had a great stay here! We came to town to see the Savannah Bananas, spend a day in King's Island, and enjoy the Lebanon Brewing Company. This location was a great central location to do all of the above. We enjoyed that we could walk downtown (there was a festival this weekend, which was a ton of fun). Thanks a for a great stay!
The host was great, the house was massive and the transparency of everything was great! Would recommend for any one coming from out of town for the renaissance faire!
Adorable Victorian home. Comfortable and plenty of room. Wish we had down time so we could have enjoyed it more. Grand kids told me that we had to stay here again when they stay with us.
We absolutely loved this charming house. It is decorated so nicely and had all the amenities of home! Located nicely close to downtown Lebanon. Lots of antique and boutiques to shop and the restaurants were excellent.

It is such a great feeling to know people like you stayed in our home. We are glad you had such a nice time and I will be sure to tell my brother about his homemade bread! He will be thrilled!
Thank you
We enjoyed stay at this home with eight family members while visiting other family in the area and also while visiting Kings Island. The location of this property was ideal for us. Walked to breakfast and coffee shops in the mornings.
Wonderful family home close to everything , clean with large eat in kitchen . Love the front porch swing . So relaxing . Had to leave early because there was a hurricane headed our way . We live on the coast and needed to prepare. Mary was very helpful and kind. I loved the home. Janice
We stayed here for the last weekend of the Ohio Renaissance Festival and it was fantastic. The house was spacious and clean. The decor was like we were house sitting for grandma and grandpa, which added to the charm of the place. Pictures of the whole family are everywhere, but we went with it in the spirit of Halloween.

The house worked out great for our group of 8 - lots of room (and rooms!), great front porch to sit and relax on, great neighborhood for walking. We didn't do much cooking, but there was plenty of kitchen items to use if we had wanted to....thanks so much!
Starting things off, the communication was amazing. Everything that they listed was true about the house. The host were gracious checked in make sure we were doing OK weβre always available for any questions we had
Within walking distance to downtown neighborhood was beautiful. I recommended if you need to stay in Lebanon area
The home was perfect for us. We loved it is walking distance to downtown Lebanon (Golden Lamb), the charm and space in the home was perfect. Maryann was super friendly, even called me to tell me about the baby birds in the nests, so we could enjoy watching them. Iβd highly recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Rackett Enterprise LLC / Mary Ellen DeLaney
There are 9 children in our family and we are excited about renting our family home as a vacation rental. We want everyone to enjoy the history of our home, the decor and the peacefulness. It is located on a quiet street in Lebanon, Ohio, just minutes from the famous Golden Lamb restaurant.
Why they chose this property
Our home is on the historic register and was built in 1808. The history of our home is fascinating. We want people to enjoy having the freedom of an entire house, not just a hotel room. We want this to be your 'Home Away From Home'
What makes this property unique
The benefits are endless. You can walk to the Golden Lamb, you can take a train ride at the end of our street and the antiques in Lebanon are everywhere! We are close to Cincinnati, Dayton and Columbus, Ohio for any one day trips. There is also a public golf course within 2 blocks from our home. Outlet malls are within 10 minutes from our home as well as the Miami Valley Casino. IF you are sharing our home with different families, the individual amount each family will pay is minimal.
