We have stayed at numerous VRBO properties and this one was at the top of the list in every category. The attention to detail... the personal touches... comfortable furniture...etc. We took the short hike to the falls... which was delightful. We traveled to the area for a graduation and now have no reason to be back in the area. We've already decided we will need to find a reason just to stay here again. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would do it in a heartbeat.

AWESOME!!!
This place is the best place I’ve stayed. It is so clean and nice. Patti provides so much with a lot of extra touches such as plenty of condiments, spices, eggs, butter, creamer, etc. lots of nice outdoor seating areas and hot tub. We loved sitting outside watching the birds at the feeders with provided binoculars. It’s a birders dream location! Patti is very responsive when you ask questions and goes above and beyond to make you feel at home!!! She even put chairs on the hill for us to watch the eclipse! I definitely recommend this place. You won’t be disappointed!

Thank you Barbara! You were the PERFECT guest! Everything was left so clean and tidy, the only clue that someone had stayed was that the beds and towels were used! Please come back anytime! We HIGHLY recommend this guest!!

Great place for a getaway
Quite, relaxing, very clean and everything we needed plus more. We were there for a hockey tournament and didn’t want to stay at a hotel. They had plenty of games, puzzles and activities for all ages or you could just relax in the hot tub. I do plan on staying here again.

Exceeded expectations
We had a great stay! They offered some nice little perks like spa robes for heading out to the hot tub and a lovely variety of coffee, tea, and hot cocoa for the keurig and all the fixins for s’mores. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the woods and the easy hike to the waterfall. The place was VERY well-kept and tidy, and the furnishings were comfy and cozy. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Wonderful and amazing
The house was perfect. The property was amazing. The hot tub was one of the nicest hot tubs we ever sat in. It was so peaceful and quiet that it made star gazing and listening to the owls very enjoyable for us. We will be back soon

Relaxing and peaceful retreat
I recently stayed at Takoda Falls retreat with my two teenage kids as we were touring Miami U. The home was warm and welcoming and exceptionally clean. The owners paid attention to every detail and left some comforts of home to enjoy (s'more fixings and popcorn). We relaxed in the hot tub and enjoyed the scenery. It was a very quick and easy drive to Miami's campus as well. We will definitely be back.

Lovely, Relaxing Weekend!
Three ladies in our forties stayed here for a weekend of hot tubbing, crocheting, knitting, and relaxing. Patty has thought of everything! Every possible need has been anticipated. The rooms were immaculate, the space was open and well-lit, and the handmade table in the dining area is absolutely stunning. My favorite little touch was the dinosaur hiding in the rock garden! Such a quiet weekend surrounded by nature. Thanks for a great stay- we would love to stay here again!

Sabrina; We are thrilled that you loved your stay! Florentine the dinosaur will be very happy to know how much he is loved! He was rescued by my husband from a desolate parking lot in the dead of winter at the Florentine Hotel Restaurant in Germantown! He loves his new home at the retreat😂 Do come and stay with us again! You ladies were wonderful guests!!

Great Stay
The property is great. Extremely clean and well located for proximity to Miami of Ohio. Patricia and Larry were excellent to deal with. The property lost power due to a storm while we were there, and Patricia and Larry really bent over backwards for us. Thank you both!

Hideaway Gem!
The Takoda Falls Retreat is a beautiful comfortable home that is perfectly set in a remote area near Miami University in Oxford. I was visiting my daughter for a quick weekend and found this wonderful retreat for me, my daughter and friend to stay at. First off, Patty was so amazing to work with. She confirmed and sent communication quickly and efficiently. Patty was very pleasant and welcoming, you can feel hospitality warmth through her communication either by email or text. The home feels new and is so clean, it doesn't feel like anyone has stayed in the house before. No detail was missed to make us comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with a Keurig, the coffee and creams. Wi-Fi was seamless. The bathrooms had an unlimited supply of new fluffy towels, and the shower was amazing. The beds were so comfortable, we decided to stay in just to relax in bed. There were umbrellas which we needed, direct tv and a downstairs equipped wit another tv, and was used as a game room with every game board you can think of. The artwork was fun with the western theme which fit the home with all the natural wood floors, walls and trimmings. I tried to book again on my first day and it was booked! If you're visiting Oxford, book it now, the secret hideaway is going to be discovered soon!

Amazing place for a getaway
My wife and I were looking for a cabin style getaway with a hot tub. Patty and Larry's place was perfect for what we were looking for and felt like a home away from home. The home was extremely nice, clean, fully stocked with everything you need, and had a great cabin theme. Its very private and peaceful on the property. We took a morning walk to the nearby Takoda Falls which the property is named after which was relaxing and scenic. Overall we were extremely pleased with everything about our stay and will be recommending our friends and family to stay here! Brian and Brittany
