Nice cottage in Oberlin! It is within walking distance of downtown and is great place to stay. For the musically inclined there is a nice Roland Synth with amp/speaker in the living room.

We appreciated all that the owners did to make our stay special. The house was clean, well-designed, and there were thoughtful notes and describing what was stored in furniture, the coffee area, etc. we especially liked the location and the air circulation throughout the house during a very warm time of year. Thank you and we hope to stay at Moss Cottage again!

Thanks, Todd!
Even though there was a little glitch with VRBO, Todd worked with me to make sure we had a great stay. Perfect property as we were helping with the move to storage at the end of the semester. Breakfast on the glassed in porch over the yard was the best!
We stayed at Moss college for an Oberlin visit. Location was perfect. The house had everything we needed! Was such an enjoyable stay. Would definitely stay again when in area.

Great Little Place
Great, comfortable place! Spotless place with a great living room for hanging out, reading and just watching TV. Only 2 short walkable blocks to tons of places to eat or grab coffee and pastries! Kitchen is well stocked and the beds have a bunch of warm blankets. Highly recommended!

Really nice property
The house was clean and very thoroughly prepared for our stay. There are little framed messages around the house with miscellaneous information which is pretty neat.
