The Kitchie Kottage/ House

A warm at home feeling in the kottage. Full kitchen and a quiet patio to enjoy. Pet friendly with fenced in area. (1 per stay, (dogs only)with max of 75lbs, additional or other pet considerations MUST be pre-approved /fees apply) Come stay for a few days or a long term. Free street parking and convenient to Route 52 and 823. I want guests to feel at home and have that comfortable stay. The cottage was build in 1949 and has refinished original wood floors, though not a perfect new construction, but definitely a great “at home” feel. The cottage is not new and has “quirks” yet with respect, you will have a comfortable stay. We want our guests to enjoy and not feel obligated to hotel environments or unneeded concerns. NO SMOKING IN THE COTTAGE!! Additional cleaning fee of $500 will be accessed for any inside smoking! *Pets are not permitted to roam unattended. Must be with owner at all time or contained in pet approved cage.

I would recommend this home very much because it was super clean and had everything you needed. The bed was so comfortable and that means so much when you’re already sleeping in a strange place. Anthony was quick to answer any questions and I’d recommend it without any hesitation.

No complaints! Host was very quick to answer any questions; home was very cozy complete with Christmas decor! Added touches included lots of extra pillows and blankets for getting cozy on the couch. Appreciate basic spices available for cooking as well as extra toothbrush should you forget yours. He thought of it all. :)

Clean & comfortable

My sister, friend & I went to the kitchie kottage for the weekend & had a lovely time. The house was extremely clean & very comfortable. The host went above & beyond with little details to make our stay cozy. We came to visit some old friends & this was the perfect little house for the weekend. Awesome price as well!!

The Kitchie Kottage Could Also Be Called The Kozy Kottage

Very nice property - comfortable and in a quiet neighborhood. The host was very responsive to our questions. We were in the area for a festival that unfortunately was rained out, so we ended up spending a lot of time at the property, but despite the bad weather outside, the house was cheery inside. I'll stay again next time I'm in the area.

Great little house

The house was great. Had everything we wanted and needed. Area left us feeling a tad nervous. Ended up being a quiet peaceful night. Only downfall was going into town to get food. Very sketchy town. Are at maestros. Good food.

Thoughtful host, perfect comfy space

You could tell that host Anthony is caring and thoughtful. As soon as I walked in, I already felt at ease. I went through to see a fully equipped kitchen that let me cook a beautiful dinner for myself. The bathroom and rooms were so spacious and i was able to have the comfiest and most restful sleep clean and at peace. I don’t visit my family much in Ohio but with a VRBO like this in my back pocket, I don’t see why I would avoid coming back to.them sooner. (Also i was very grateful for the snacks and water Anthony provided. he didn’t have to but he did and for that i was the happiest of campers)

Decent Stay

The stay was decent. The house worked as intended for the weekend. Pros: -provided dishes and appliances worked well -provided snacks were nice -beds were comfy -heat worked well -check-out list was normal and didn't require anything outlandish -outside area was cute, and comfy Cons: -kinda creepy to be honest. The basement and the attic were not locked which was unnerving. -no blinds on any of the windows. On a corner lot it felt pretty exposed, Also the sunlight in the bedroom was rough with no way to block it out. -lots of potpourii about, smelled like Grandma's house -street parking, never awesome
