About this property

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!

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.

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.

Convenient to the AF museum
An older home so not new and modern, the wood floors are creaky, but that didn’t bother us. Bed was comfortable as was the living room furniture. Our request for more towels was taken care of promptly. Ice maker was jammed, so not working and we let the owner know. We stayed 2 nights and were booked for 3, but decided to pack up and leave after dinner on the 3rd night We only live an hour away and had some impending medical issues in a couple days. Owner is very responsive to communications and responds promptly. He is even going to mail us the phone charger my husband left behind. Above and beyond.

Perfect for Air Force Museum and Wright Brothers' Aviation Trail
This charming older home is very conveniently located directly across from the entrance to the US Air Force Museum in a quiet neighborhood. You can stand on the porch and look over at historic planes on the museum grounds. Painted bright cheerful blue with yellow door, it could not be easier to find. While there is a driveway, we found it so convenient to park on the blacktop across the street. It's like they made the street extra wide just for pull-in parking. There are no houses across the street, hence the uninterrupted view of the museum. We could get to all the Wright brothers' sites easily as well as the Dayton Art Institute and a several brew pubs. The house has excellent WiFi and two televisions. While I didn't cook in the kitchen, I did make coffee in the Mr. Coffee but the host also provided a Keurig with pods. I just happened to have brought drop supplies. I thought the aviation artwork on the walls was a nice touch and the leather sofas were especially comfortable. There were games, books and puzzles. The host was prompt in communications. We enjoyed our stay.

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!

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.

Family Reunion
House was great. Close to anything you might need. Loved the ping pong table, hadn't played in years! Just needs some more kitchenware and a cutting board. We are old folks so the tv thing was difficult for us. Maybe directions for local tv would help All in all we loved our stay.

Perfect accommodations for a museum visit!
The blue house is easy to find and it’s set off a quiet neighborhood road right across from the Air Force museum. My kids ages 6 and 4 loved having books they could read and some games like Uno available for us. The best part was watching them discover how to play ping pong and air hockey for the first time at the house. We had a nice couple nights enjoying the front porch after the kids went to bed we will book this again when we visit the museum!

Very clean but older than the pictures indicated. Appreciated the budget stay though for the one night and convenient location to the Air Force museum!! If you're a coffee drinker bring your own things. Also be sure to check out the area to be sure you feel comfortable with the location 👍 Easy check in and out and great communication with the owners.

Prefect Location, Nice Overall
Older home in a quiet neighborhood. Very centrally located for our trip to visit family. Enjoyed hving the AFB & museum across the street. Easy to find other necessities (gas, groceries, restaurants) within a short drive. The home was nice. Plenty of room for 3 adults and one child. Cute porch for morning coffee. Large kitchen. Our son enjoyed the ping pong table in the basement. Yard was nice, larger than expected (wish we would have brought lawn games like bocce ball or cornhole). Bike trails easily accessed. Owner was very nice, communicative & flexible. The house wasn't spotless, but overall it exceeded our expectations. No complaints & will definitely look at staying here again on our next trip to the area. Thank you!
