Location of this home is good for BGSU events. Bed space is as listed. Photos in listing are way more homey than what’s there. Kitchen isn’t well appointed if you choose to cook. The cleanliness was average with many spider webs in bathroom and corners. There was a musty smell in front bedroom. Appears to not be used often. Parking was tight.It did provide space that we needed. Towels and linens were clean. Host responded in good time.

This house is super cute. We've stayed in a lot of different places, and this one is definitely unique. And in a good way. Spacious yard for our dog, super cute decor and a great location made this perfect for us. The house layout is definitely different, but they made great use of the space and we loved it. The hosts were incredibly accommodating, answered my questions VERY quickly, and despite having a couple of odd requests, even agreed to them, which I know they didn't have to do and I was so very grateful. My son attends BGSU nearby, and we will definitely stay here again the next time we come for an overnight visit.
It was a perfect place for me, my husband & our adult daughter & son to stay so we could all be together to attend my father’s memorial. Thank you.

Cute and convenient
This was our first time using VRBO. We were spending Thanksgiving with our Bowling Green student who had to play in the marching band at Friday’s game. The decorations were so cute. It was very close to campus and shopping. Being pet friendly, we could bring our cat as well. A little cold in the first floor bedroom and bathroom, but overall nice.

Cute and Comfy
We stayed at Napoleon’s cottage this last weekend for our sons BGSU graduation. Our family (6 adults) and our two Bulldogs were more than comfortable. Clean and comfortable and very cozy. We felt right at home and definitely will be back. Truly enjoy host Anita Kay as this was my 2nd stay at one of her properties and it definitely won’t be my last. Great at communicating and she provides all that you need for a pleasant stay.
