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!

This house and its features as well as the surrounding area offer so much. My brother and I (quarterly volunteers at the museum) appreciate these conveniences. I mention also the continued updating of the house and its amenities as well.
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.
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.
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!
Property was very conveniently located near the AF Museum and a short drive to the Rose Music Center where attended a concert. Great host, easy checkin, very nicely decorated. We would definitely recommend staying here.
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.
Had a great time while spending the weekend for the Air Force Marathon. Walking distance to the Air Force Museum and the start of the run. Perfect location and perfect size for our small group. Would definitely stay again! 5 stars!
The property is very nice and clean! It was in a wonderful location right across the street from the Wright Patterson Air Force museum. It was also close to the Hollywood casino for those interested in that sort of thing. Management of the property was great and very easy to communicate with!
Convenient to the NMUSAF where my brother and I volunteer. Always a great and comfortable week. Owner/ Manager is always attentive and cognizant to the needs of the customers to ensure a great stay.
My daughter and I stayed here with my grandson and felt perfectly safe. Being across from the Air Force base we got to hear the reveille played every morning. We loved it! We will stay here again and again when we are in town.
Good location, quiet neighborhood.The house could really use a good cleaning, clean linens and more towels, wash cloths etc. It will be hotels for us for future stay overs.
All the basic conveniences of home in this Vrbo. Climate controlled, washer, dryer and off street parking make this house very comfortable. The place of choice when my brother and I visit the Dayton area for volunteer work.
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.
Perfect location for multiple visits to the National Air Force Museum. Very comfortable house. Thank you for the Christmas tree. Lovely touch. Great location for everything in Dayton
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!
This property offered enough room for us all to stay comfortably. We wish we'd had more time to visit the Airforce museum again, but we did an overnight stay this time. We got a game or two of air hocky in before we left. The kids enjoyed exploring the available books and games.
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.

We needed a clean 2 bedroom place so we could go through the museum over 2 or 3 days. The house was perfect for our needs and right across the street from the museum. It was easy check in, clean, lots of TVs with Roku and kitchen properly supplied. I would recommend.
Location was great for our trip. It was clean, neat and well appointed. The biggest disapointment was the back bedroom mattress was very uncomfortable. Improve that and it is a gem for those visiting Dayton!
