Remarkable experience. This historic mansion needs some minor repairs but overall has been maintained well for its age. The inground heated pool was a wonderful asset. Sixteen ladies used this as the hub for daily bike rides on different area bike paths. We will definitely stay here again!

A fantastic historic property

What an amazing house! A group of us were in Dayton to produce a fundraising dinner and were thrilled to all be able to stay together in this 9 bedroom mansion. It's a gorgeous old home with a modern kitchen and wonderful pool. Plenty of room to gather in multiple areas of the home. We enjoyed prompt communication with the owner and had no issues with the property. Everything is as advertised.A few things to consider: this is not a home for crazy partiers or destructive children. It's a historic home and must be treated with care. The 6 upstairs bedrooms are all lovely, 4 with their own bathrooms and two that share one bathroom (one of which you have to walk through to get to the very back bedroom). The other three bedrooms are in the basement, and those share one bathroom that's accessible through the furthest back bedroom (which is itself accessible through the other two....basically a line of three adjoining rooms with the bathroom attached to the one in the back. This would be no problem for a family, but was a bit odd for unrelated adults staying in those rooms, walking through someone else's bedroom in the middle of the night to get to the bathroom. Not a complaint, just a layout to be aware of).We will happily rent this home again and loved every minute of our wonderful stay. Thanks, Alise!

Terrific Family Vacation

This is truly an amazing piece of property. To stay in a true mansion, and learn more about its amazing history, made for a memorable experience for us all. Even though we experienced some A/C issues early on; our host Alise couldn’t have been more helpful in promptly responding to this situation, and any other questions we had during our stay. The family had a great time, and especially enjoyed the amazing pool area.

Annual Family Vacay

All of us had an amazing time, ages 6-78 years old. Everyones favorite was probably the pool, as it was very warm the week of the fourth. Everyone had their own space in the home and enjoyed all of the fine detail in the mansion. Even though the home is in a neighborhood in the city it is surrounded by trees and shrubs that make it feel very private.

Great Retreat

Our group of 8 life-long friends enjoyed our stay very much. We loved the pool area, the lounge chairs and gazebo with seating. The beds, towels, kitchen were all very nice. It was a welcome touch to have the coffee pods provided. We look forward to your continued work on restoring the mansion and grounds! We are hoping to return next year.

Birthday Celebration

Family members from around the country gathered to celebrate a 90th birthday. There were 19 of us and we enjoyed all parts of the house and grounds. Outdoor fun included pickle ball, swimming in the heated pool, lounging under the pergola at the pool, and evening campfires. Indoors was perfect for all ages. Spacious kitchen, comfortable sofas and chairs in living room and library, private bedroom suites with comfortable beds, an excellent preservation of an historical mansion!

Wonderful experience for our latest family gathering. Living area was extremely comfortable. Bedrooms and baths were spacious and well appointed. Kitchen was well equip. House is very private yet you are only minutes away from great restaurants and shops. Everyone enjoyed the salt water pool and deck area. Can’t thank the host enough for sharing this wonderful home with our family. Hope to return soon.

Great Pool

We celebrated a family birthday with 6 adults and 4 children. The house was very clean and well stocked. The beds were all great. We used all the bedrooms on the second floor and there were plenty of bathrooms for everyone. I can’t say what the bedrooms in the basement were like because no one used them. The pool and the cabana were OUTSTANDING!! We were outside most of our stay. We couldn’t get the kids out of the pool. We also enjoyed a little fire each night along with s’mores. Everyone had a great time!

Excellent stay at Cox Mansion

We had 14 people stay when we came in town for a Memorial for our mother. Age range of our group was 1 to 88. We were all able to sleep in our own rooms and congregate for meals in the kitchen and dining room and hang out outside for beautiful sunsets. The house is beautiful, the beds comfortable, and the neighborhood around it is great for walking in. The rooms were very soundproof which was great for the age range of our group. If you get the chance to stay here take it.

Unforgettable Experience

We had a large group comprised of 4 families (19 people including adults and kids) stay for a long weekend to view the 2024 eclipse. We all had an absolute blast! There was plenty of room for us to spend time together eating or playing games, but also plenty of room to spread out if you needed some peace and quiet. We had fun playing tennis and cooking out on the side patio. All of the bathrooms were well-stocked and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed, as well! Both check-in and check-out were easy. We had such an amazing experience staying in a historic mansion with our best friends watching the total eclipse! Truly an unforgettable vacation!

Family Stay

The house is historic and beautiful! It was well appointed and equipped. Because of the thick plaster walls we were all able to have quiet and privacy. The pool was so awesome, although we didn’t find the hot tub. I loved having plenty of beach towels! I also appreciated the plastic cups that we could use at the pool. And the cabana at the pool, as well as couches and tables provided us with GREAT shade. The three year old in our family loved the pool, the two staircases, and the basement. There seemed to be a problem closing the basement shower door. The library and living room offered so much comfort and the beds were incredibly comfortable.

Great Spot for a Holiday Family Reunion !

We spent the Holidays at the 1917 Cox Mansion. Our family ranged in age from 9 months to 93 years and everyone had a wonderful time. We particularly enjoyed the enormous living room U-shaped couch for conversation, opening gifts and watching football. Everyone agreed the beds were very comfortable and it was easy to control room temperature throughout the house. We cooked all our meals during our stay and the only problem was locating supplies, utensils, pots and pans in the many cabinets of the well-appointed modern kitchen. Please note the VRBO listing does not show an enormous (seats 16+?) table off the kitchen in a 2nd formal dining room.

Lovely weekend!

The property is beautiful! The furnishings are comfortable. The home is full of natural light. There was plenty of room for our group to all be together. The upstairs bedrooms provided most of us great privacy. Do note that two of the upstairs bedrooms share a bath and that you pass through one bedroom to get to bath and the other bedroom. In the basement, all three bedrooms share one bath, and similarly, you pass through the bedrooms to reach the others. These rooms were used by the younger families, so this wasn’t a problem for our group. The pool is beautiful, clean and a great temperature. The gazebo creates shade and though the tennis court lines were a little difficult to see, we enjoyed them as well. The kitchen includes plenty of dinnerware and cooking utensils. Very nice property! We would stay there again.
