The house is beautiful and so is the town. The architecture and landscapes were really charming. Seemed to be a bit of french influence in the town.

Family wedding stay
This property was perfect for my nephew’s wedding at the Washington. Everyone was jealous we were able to walk to and from the event! The house was cozy and comfortable. Fortunate we were able to stay in a rural Pennsylvania neighborhood for our first stay to the state.

Great stay!
We had a lovely stay! The house was inviting and clean, and the location beautiful. This is the second time we/family have stayed here and we couldn't recommend it more!
Historical area, beautiful and quiet neighborhood. Nice clean comfortable house for a short stay. One note: WiFi doesn’t work, the manager on the record is no longer in charge. Used my personal hotspot.

Relaxing & quaint
We loved our brief stay at the property. The house feels warm and cozy. It was perfect to come back to after a busy I have to Alexa to Costco list Costco list day with family. I love the historic community. And we went for a long walk on the local trail.
The house was clean. We did not interact with the host as they had everything set up for easy access.
Be ready to climb some stairs and the shower is quite quirky. But we’d definitely stay there again.

Book your stay now!
Staying here was a real treat! A great place especially for those seeking a blend of weddings and relaxation. We were in town for my sister's wedding and were so happy with the charm of this rental. Also, Chris was very responsive and accommodating to our two dogs! The rich history of the place made every stroll along the paths feel like a journey through time, especially knowing that George Washington once frequented the area. Being close to top-notch restaurants and bistros meant every meal was a delight. There was never a shortage of things to do. It truly was an unforgettable experience!

We think of the yellow springs house as our home away from home. We use it as a base to visit family and it was wonderful to return again this year. We love the location and the property and Chris/Alyssa are great hosts.
