April 8, 2024 - Somerville, OH.
What a great visit. The 2024 Total Solar Eclipse was fantastic.
This farm cottage sits on a beautiful piece of land in the rural Ohio countryside. We LOVED having the goats as neighbors, the kids enjoyed talking to and petting them. The creek flows along below just down the hill behind the goat enclosure and was a great place for the children to explore. The springtime (April) yellow wild flowers along its banks were gorgeous.
The cottage is quaint, amply supplied, and suited our family of 5. The one bathroom is on the upper floor next to the bedroom. The kitchen worked fine for us - we cooked one dinner and one breakfast. The beds were OK (the fold out couch was, well, a fold out couch).
I can strongly recommend this rural get-away for a couple or a small family. If you have a visit to OXFORD, OH, this is a great alternative to hotel life. The drive over to the university town is lovely and does not take too long.
Be aware. There are stairs - both up to the entry deck area and up a narrow spiral staircase to the bedroom and only bathroom. Our 82 year old mom was able to navigate the stairs, but this could be an issue for anyone that struggles with them or sees stairs as obstacles.
The host family was very welcoming and we really enjoyed spending time in their special piece of the world.
GREAT COTTAGE!!!! We recommend it.
