We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. Check-in and out were very easy. Plenty of parking off the street. A lot of traffic on the street, but it was quiet in the home. We needed a place to stay due to a funeral to attend, so we didn't use the kitchen and other amenities available. Overall, a very pleasant stay and very accessible for our trip.

This was perfect for our weekend stay! Area was great, close to highway as well as restaurants and gas station! Had a great old farmhouse vibe! We will definitely use this house again when coming back! Oh and the family of deer that graced us with their presence each morning and night was loved by the whole family!

Perfection!

I, my daughter in law, and two grandchildren stayed here for two nights when we attended the Mothman Festival. This house was an absolute gem! The most striking thing to me is how incredibly well supplied the house is. I can’t think of a single object we might have needed that wasn’t there, including snacks in the fridge. The rooms were spacious, beds were comfy, everything was spotless, and we LOVED seeing deer merely feet away from us in the morning and evenings. The place just exuded homeyness and serenity and is within short driving distances to some nice restaurants and shopping. We ate in Gallipolis at the Tuscany restaurant, which was very good with great service. If you’re looking for a reasonable and charming place to stay, look no further. One of my best experiences at a VRBO.

Quiet, comfortable, charming, and super clean; great stay in Rio Grande

This was the perfect stopover location for us. Communication was excellent. Location was as described. House is charming and very comfortable. It was nice to get outside, eat a pizza on the back picnic table, and walk at the local college campus. If we are in the area again, we will be back.

Family Reunion

We stayed in Rio Grande because it was a 20 minute drive to family. My husband and I stayed here with our daughter and son in law plus three grandchildren. There was plenty of room. They even had many baby items in the home. The only drawback was the number of stairs to get into the house. If you don’t have any mobility issues you will be all set. May stay here again for next years reunion.
