Amenities
We know that many of our guests are unprepared for the distance to familiar stores and restaurants like Walmart, Kroger, Bob Evans, or Pizza Hut. This is why all of our vacation homes are stocked with the breakfast basics and often forgotten items. Breakfast items include: coffee, eggs, cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, milk, juice, and snacks. If your diet is more selective please bring groceries with you or contact us to arrange a stocking option. We want your stay to be a time to relax not stress about where to get food or what you might have forgotten.
“I’ve stayed in a lot of places and none come close to this one in terms of hospitality. The house was immaculately clean, and anything you could want/need (within reason) was available. We could have shown up with no food or toiletries and been okay.”

“We've stayed here before so it was just as I expected. It's very clean and there are snacks and quick breakfast items and coffee, tea, and hot chocolate, perfect for a night's sleep and early departure.”
