Everything and more
Check-in/checkout was easy and the communication of local places to check out by Greg was very much appreciated. The house was super cute. It was decorated with a black bear and woods theme. All the amenities were an awesome plus! The beds were so comfy (I purchased the same bed the day we got home). The linens were great! The kitchen was stocked with everything you could ask for. Pots, pans, crockpot, awesome tumblers, coozies, paper towels, napkins, tissues, all utensils you need. There were a plethora of K-cups, creamer, tea bags, honey and hot chocolate (We were all surprised). The cupboards were completely stocked with every seasoning you need to cook with. (We had packed our own and were surprised they were provided) A "smores making station" stocked with chocolate, marshmallows, Graham crackers and a "menu" of different types of smores we could make. The large, rustic dining room table provided ample room for many hours of food, fun and games. The master bath also had amenities supplied I would've never expected. For example, there was contact solution and case, deodorant, lotions, toothbrushes, toothpaste, sunscreen and the shower had built-in shampoo, conditioner and shower gel dispensers. The towels and washcloths were brand new and very soft. The laundry room came with a plenty of detergents and softeners. Ironing board and iron. There was a portable propane fire pit which was nice to be able to move to different locations (also brand new). The brand new outdoor

My husband and I booked an evening at this beautiful home in Madison as a way to experience a quiet and enjoyable evening to ourselves. The house was immaculate, and aesthetically was a perfect blend of the original century style architecture with modern finishings, touches, and furniture. We thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub, the ambiance amplified by a gorgeous sunset, flickering fireflies in the woods further back, and twinkling lights around the fire and deck that made the entire experience serene and memorable. The host was thoughtful, friendly, and proactive, anticipating our needs even when we hadn’t yet thought of them (for example, having coffee, snacks, and fresh towels ready and waiting). While most of the wineries closed at 6pm because it was Sunday, Grand River Cellars was open. The food, drink, and live music was incredibe- and less than 5 minutes away! I would absolutely recommend this home for a stay in Northeast Ohio, and I am likely to visit again!

25 Gold Stars!
I was very seriously thinking about purchasing a property in Bexley, Ohio and having it taken down to the studs and updating it and asking Ado to select the furniture and do the decoration for me. This property is charming and very clean. The master bedroom upstairs is enormous and, to my great chagrin, we let my daughter have that bedroom because it’s close to the children’s bedroom. The room my husband and I took, downstairs, next to a full bathroom, was also lovely and of good dimensions, only slightly less spectacular than the master bedroom upstairs. All 5 of us wanted to remain in the house forever. I am very tempted to give Ado’s property a negative review so that it will surely be available for me the next time I visit Bexley. But that would be the most colossal lie and I would never be released from Hell. Ado’s property is perfection. We only regret that we weren’t able to use the little porch/playroom or the swings because there was snow on the ground when we visited. I tried to leave the property as clean as possible with two little ones underfoot so that Ado will allow me to rent this property again and again and again and again. The house is an absolute delight in every way and Ado is a responsive and conscientious host. 25 Gold stars!!

Cozy, Thoughtful Getaway at Acorn Cottage~Perfect for Pets and Relaxation
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Acorn Cottage! The cottage itself was cozy and just the right size for us and our dog, making it feel like a true home away from home. We especially appreciated how thoughtfully the space was stocked (from kitchenware and utensils to extra toiletries like shampoo and conditioner). Having all these common essentials on hand took the stress out of our last-minute trip and allowed us to settle in and relax right away. We feel so lucky to have snagged an opening at Acorn Cottage. After spending our days exploring the beautiful local trails and taking in the scenery, we looked forward to unwinding each evening. The hot tub was a real treat, offering a peaceful spot to soak tired muscles, and the fire pit created a perfect atmosphere for roasting marshmallows and stargazing. One of the highlights for us were the baby gates available for both the front porch and hot tub deck. These thoughtful additions meant our velcro dog could remain close by, safely contained but still able to enjoy the fresh air with us. It allowed us to fully unwind in the hot tub or around the fire pit without worrying about our pup wandering off. All in all, Acorn Cottage provided the ideal base for our little adventure, and we’d happily return for another visit. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a welcoming and well-appointed getaway!

Amazing!
This may be long, so I'm sorry! I'll try to hit the key points. The location was perfect for being close to both Ohio University and all the parks in the area. It was about 30 minutes to the OU campus, which was the reason we were in the area. The parks are all super close as well. Frog Hollow is WAY more spacious than the cabins we usually stay in. The photos really don't do it justice. The house and outdoor areas are extremely well kept, clean, and every amenity you can think of is available. Liz has thought of everything, and her attention to detail is truly amazing. This is maybe an odd thing to notice but the water pressure in the shower is fantastic. I can't stand showers that don't have good water pressure, so it's an odd detail that I always notice. The bed and all of the bedding are super comfy, I slept like a baby! Last but not least, the whole home was just... nice. After long days of driving or running around with my daughter (it was mom's weekend at OU, so we packed a ton into every day) it was absolutely lovely to come back to a welcoming, cozy space and be able to relax and watch TV or settle into the hot tub. We will most definitely return, we visit my daughter often so I'm absolutely thrilled to have found such a wonderful place to stay.

Perfect family getaway!
My family of six (me, my husband, his daughter, my two sons and one of their girlfriends) stayed at Rustic Ridge Lodge for four evenings. Unfortunately, it rained for most of our stay BUT that didn't stop us from having an amazing time! The two level covered porches allowed us to sit outside and enjoy nature and the propane firepit without missing a beat! The game room gave us hours of entertainment while waiting for the sun to come out to hit the trails (which we were able to do since everything is close by!) The house itself is STUNNING! It comes with everything you could possibly need to have an amazing time - just have to buy your food! The bedrooms and bathrooms were perfectly places throughout the home on three levels for maximum privacy if you need it. Two TV's allow for your viewing pleasure - although we barely needed TV to keep us occupied! Thoughtful personal touches like chargers for any kind of phone placed throughout the house (next to each bed and in the living areas), a lovely coffee/tea station, all the kitchen essentials you could think of at your fingertips, clearly labeled instructions for everything from the hot tub to the grill to the coffee maker, on site laundry for your use and so on. Nothing is left to chance and we will most definitely be staying here again! Thank you - Highly Recommended!!
