Another wonderful getaway, this time we stayed at the cottage. Decorated so tastefully, sitting in a beautiful meadow. The wonderful hostess and host always make us feel so welcomed. Thanks again for a relaxing stay!

Quaint B&B in SW Ohio. Beautifully decorated 5 bedrooms and 4 baths fit to sleep 11 or single rooms available. Check it out if you are passing through, need a great hunting spot, or just want a calm relaxing time in the country.

We went there for a Summer Solstice retreat and will definitely be back. Anita is a warm, caring and generous host who makes you feel like family (in the best sense, lol.) Two of my attached photos were taken just down from the cottage (separate from the Guesthouse) and the third at the Ohio River's edge, just a short walk down the road.

Anita was absolutely wonderful. Whenever we needed her for anything she was always available. She made sure everything ran as smoothly as possible for my wedding and went above and beyond to ensure everything looked beautiful. Highly recommend the Ville Guesthouse to everyone!

A friend and I stayed at the Ville Guesthouse January 17-21. The guesthouse was spotless. The owners also offer great amenities such as a private boat ramp. The owners, Chris and Anita, are great folks and very easy to talk to. They went above and beyond what they had to and we appreciated it so much. So take it from me, Forget the Rest and Stay with the Best!

We absolutely loved our stay at The Ville Guesthouse! The owner/operator Anita was the most accommodating and easy to work with host in all of my experiences renting houses and condos over the years. They've done an amazing job renovating an old farmhouse while making sure it has all the amenities you'd need. Definitely felt like home away from home! We will return!

Beautiful place. If I ever decide to get married again, I'd consider this place. Only downside is it's right beside St. Rt. 247 so if you have an outside wedding like the one we attended, be ready for car noise. Otherwise, it's a fantastic setup.
