The home was creatively designed with a very large and family friendly kitchen with a huge island and a very spacious refrigerator. There was a Game Room that the kids (and kids at heart) enjoyed. The Bee theme was very clever and carried throughout the home. It was as nice as the photos depicted and was a great place to spend time as a family. The instructions were clear and easy to follow and the host, Lynn, was easy to contact and very pleasant to communicate with. We had a Bee-eutiful time and recommend this location highly as a pñace to stay...so much more enjoyable than a hotel!!

We needed a place for our out of town bridal party to stay, as well as a place for the bridesmaids to get dressed the day of the wedding. This adorable home is located in very quite neighborhood within a couple blocks of downtown Mason, and only 8 minutes from our venue. After rehearsal the evening before the wedding, the bridal party enjoyed a backyard fire together. The next morning the natural light coming in the home was perfect for the bridesmaids getting reading w/hair and makeup teams, and then some time with the photographers before heading to the venue. It was absolutely a perfect stay and special memories were made in this home.

Our favorite VRBO property

My family and I lodged with the Cozy Bee cottage for the second time; and just as our first experience, it was wonderful. We truly consider this our “home away from home” in the greater Cincinnati area. The house, neighborhood, and convenience to all attractions are just perfect. Lynn is a wondeful host!

Home for the Holidays

My family is extended across the tri-state area and this home was perfectly placed for all to gather and visit for a family holiday celebration. The home is very open and has amazing spaces.
