About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Dayton Air Force Museum Getaway! Close to WPAFB, Downtown, Wright State

The best place to stay when visiting the National Air Force Museum. It's open year round, entrance is free, and you even can walk to the museum if you want :)

You will also be very close to all the Wright Patterson AFB entrances and only 5 minutes to Wright State University, only 10 minutes to the Nutter Center (for watching various shows) and Downtown Dayton - including the Oregon District, University of Dayton, Schuster Center, Miami Valley Hospital, and others. Perfect for vacation or work!

The space:

This cozy home has two bedrooms with queen beds that can sleep 2 (or 3 kids if needed) and an extra rollaway bed if you need it. The living room has a TV with local channels and Netflix and streaming TV channels via SlingTV... the other bedroom also has their own TV also with Netflix if you'd like to watch your own shows.

A DVD player and lots of DVDs are also available for your entertainment, as are various books, comic books and board games for the kids.

If you are an outdoors person, a bike lane is right in front of the home. This will connect you to the major bike lanes in town and even to other cities like Tipp City, Troy, and even to Cincinnati if you wish! (see for more information)

Areas of the home:

You have full access to the Kitchen (full size fridge, stove, microwave, coffeemakers, toaster, utensils) to save money by cooking your own food, as well as laundry facilities (washer and dryer in basement) if needed.

You will have a driveway to park your car in and extra parking spaces if needed at the front of the property.

Other information:

The back of the house is close to a railroad track (there is another house between us and the track) and you can sometimes hear a train coming through (sounds like rain pouring) for about 1-2 minutes .. about 3-4 times a day. Not loud enough to really disturb you, especially if watching TV. It's a pretty good experience to see the train as it goes by though.. you don't see that often nowadays.

No parties please. This is a quiet neighborhood and we'd like to keep it that way.

Disclaimer: For your safety and the safety of others, surveillance cameras are installed outdoors at this property. They are only pointed to the public areas that include the driveway, front porch, and back door areas.

Finally, we have have prepared this home as best as we can but if you find something that needs improving, please contact us and we'll do our best to fix or rectify the issue. Thanks!

The view of the museum was such a hit for our kids who sat on the front porch late at night with no issues. The private drive made it nice to load and unload. Kitchen fully stocked. Rooms and beds clean and stocked with plenty of bedding. Game area in basement and multiple TVs made this the perfect landing spot between soccer tournament games. If you’re attending a big soccer tournament, this house is centrally located to all complexes. Security code specific to guest which made me feel safe knowing nobody else had a current code. Communication from owner timely.

Great location for museum of the Air Force. Lovely quiet area. Not luxurious but clean and had everything we needed. Internet and TV worked without stress. Water was hot. Host was accomodating.We didn’t have a vehicle so that made things a bit awkward as there are no conveniences nearby but that was our mistake.

Great location in quiet neighborhood

Overall this house was great for our needs. Dated but as described for the most part. Loved the area as it was very safe and quiet. Host was amazing and very responsive and helpful. One of the best hosts we have had. House could use some updates but it worked for the four of us perfectly. Would definitely stay again if we ever comeBack.

This small house is conveniently located if you plan to visit the museum. Our family of four adults stayed there. Beds were good with foam pillows. Bathroom is small with some age showing, but everything worked fine, and shampoo, conditioner and body soap is provided in small cupboard behind bathroom door. Gerald the owner was excellent in communicating with us. One of the best VRBO owners we’ve had in this regard. This house is in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of convenient parking. We did find the basement light on upon arrival, which we thought was eerie, but Gerald explained the switch was broken. Gave us a good laugh!

Incredible Location Across From The USAF Museum

You cannot get any closer if you want to stay near the USAF Museum. A nice house with everything to make you feel like home. A GREAT selection of movies and a DVD player if you need entertainment. A nice base camp for your adventures!

Homey little cottage

We really enjoyed our stay at Gerald's place. It's a cute little well maintained older home (super easy to find) close to shopping and restaurants. New appliances and thoughtful touches make it a nice place to stay. Plenty of parking.

Very Cozy!

This cute little house was very homey and comfortable after a long day at competition. It’s literally right across the street from the Air Force Museum, which made our next day returning to the museum, a very quick one. It has everything you need and then some for a comfortable relaxing evening. I only wish I would’ve thought ahead and booked it for two nights. We will definitely be returning if we are back in the area.

Wonderful Stay

This cute little house is exactly as listed. Was across the highway from the USAF Museum with parking in the gated driveway. Had everything you need and was very quiet at night. The bed was comfortable but the only issue I had was that the bed was very low to the floor and if you've got bad knees it's a little difficult but that in no way detracts from the house itself.

Just what we needed for a busy wknd

This was perfect location for our stay. We had a wedding to attend and it was a quick wkend trip. We had trouble with booking via vrbo site itself and the owner was great to work with over that. The kids enjoyed the game room, the train nearby didn’t sound as close as it was and wasn’t a problem for us . This was perfect location for our stay. The airforce museum is right accross the street , and Pettitbon coffee is like a mile down the road (highly recommend). We would stay here again.
