The perfect spot
We absolutely loved our stay here. It was my husband, myself and kids (5 & 12). Carol prepared a snack basket with local chocolates and snacks my kids absolutely adored. The property is set back off the road and exactly as pictured. Clean, comfortable and stocked with all you need. We came to visit family and go to the Ohio REN faire. Easy drive to the faire as well as restaurants. The backyard was a dream- coming from Florida it was so nice to sit outside with coffee in the morning. Loved the DVD collection as we watched some of our favorites with our kids. Would 100% recommend and we already have plans to return.

Completely "Bear"able
What a great place to stay. Couldn't have asked for a nicer, cleaner, well appointed location. They had everything I could have needed and even some nice snacks. Very clean and extremely comfortable. Bed was so welcoming and each bedroom was equipped with a tv for comfortable viewing. The Storers' were very friendly as well. I will definitely be staying here again in the future.

We had an excellent stay here last year so we booked again for this year, and there were no disappointments. The owners do a great job prepping the house for guests, and we needed nothing. Outstanding value!

PERFECTION!
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this property and will be our "go-to" from here on out. You feel like you are in a cabin in Tennessee, but it's half the distance for us. A perfect getaway for respite and relaxation. The owners have installed beautiful handrails throughout that helped my husband tremendously! It was a suggestion we made during our first visit and so thankful they implemented our suggestion. I would rate it a 10 out of 10! A warm and fuzzy go-to!

A Peaceful Stay
The property was beautiful and detailed so well for the guest. The owners have gone to great lengths to make sure everything is perfect for the guests. The decorations were so tasteful but reflected A Bear's Rest so well; the owners had found and displayed so many homey and unique decorations that went so well together. I couldn't believe there was a little bear on the lampshades. The handicapped shower was helpful and switches to everything were well labeled and easy to use. The 'manual' was easy to follow. Mattress was extremely comfortable; blinds were easy; living room furniture was relaxing; and the kitchen had everything we needed. The owners were caring and responsive. We hope we are able to get an opening here again when we visit our son next time. This was the perfect VRBO. Thank you so much.

Perfect location, perfect home away from home, perfect hostess
We used this wonderful cottage to visit friends in Lebanon and Maineville as well as attend a family reunion in Bellbrook. The place was perfect for a mildly handicapped and older visitor. There is one step within the cottage and a suitcase strategically placed acts as a railing. Laundry facilities are available as is an outdoor hot tub. There is one bath with pull down shower, plus 1 half bath.😃😃😃

Absolutely fantastic!
The property was just as it listed. She was an amazing host. Everything we needed was at the property with cute little notes around every where to assist us in finding things and the check out process. She also provided these little snacks which were a life saver for my kids after a long day of travel. The property provided a pack and play, and a high chair for our infant. The backyard is mostly shaded which allowed for plenty of time to get the kids outside to play. The property is close to several small towns but I never once had to deal with the annoying city sounds while there. It was secluded and private. I will absolutely look to book this property every time I come back into the area.

This was my first VBRO experience and I just hope any future VBRO's I do, will be as good as this one was. This place was ideal, quiet location, great place, the interior of this house is excellent. The owners are right next door and I enjoyed talking with them when I saw them outside. We used the hot tub every night. I would 100% or beyond, recommend this VBRO to anyone coming to the area.

Perfect for what we wanted, small, cozy, super clean, grandkids loved it, we would definitely recommend this lovely place. About 20 to 25 minutes to Kings Island. The code to the door didn’t work when we first arrived, the host called us back immediately & corrected the problem, what a relief!!! Thank you for a great experience !!

We were in the area for a baseball tournament. It was the perfect relaxed get away from the hot fields. The house was clean, quiet, and an oasis. The hot tub was wonderful. Unfortunately our stay was cut short due to a family medical emergency. I would love to come back in the future.
