Perfect for Ladies Retreat

The Wayside Guest House is perfect. Everything was so clean. They provide all the amenities and even a few special touches. The location is great. There’s a little market right behind the house and a nature reserve with walking trails maybe a mile down the road. We would love to make this the place for our annual retreat!

Perfect Guest House

This little gem was perfect for our family trip. We attended the AMA Vintage Motorcycle Event and had everything we could need for our stay. We arrived to find fresh cookies on the counter and the kids loved the game room. Thank you for everything. We highly recommend this guest home.

Great place in Mansfield

Property description was spot on. More amenities than the other Short-term rental properties we have stayed at. Nothing was left out. Owners very pleasant and very communicative. It snowed one night and our driveway was clear before we even awoke. Would definitely stay there again. Family funeral visit.

We enjoyed our stay at Wayside. Everything you need was at your fingertips. For us the location was perfect for visiting family. The personal touches were amazing, extra snacks, decorated for autumn. Wonderful. We will be hopefully be visiting again in the future. Also loved The Pumpkin Seed market right behind! :-)

Very well done

Very clean, very nice property close to Mid-Ohio. Though we didn't use them, there was a game room, games, grill and bikes, all of which appeared to be new. There were snacks set out and plenty of everything you need while you're there. The only thing missing was a TV, which I hadn't even noticed, but a friend did. Great place!

WONDERFUL!!! LOVED IT!!!

Our stay at Wayside was better than expected. The property is extremely clean and well maintained. It was very much appreciated that there is no TV. It gave us a chance to "unplug" from everything. There are so many activities in every corner of the house. We'll definitely be coming back next year. - Michelle F.

Hosts were friendly and respectful. House was perfectly described and very cozy. Yea there was no tv but I was ok with that because we got to sit and enjoy each other’s company versus being stuck in technology. We ate dinner as a family and played card games. The house was only 15 minutes from the event we were attending and 2 minutes from the grocery store for the last minute groceries we forgot. I will return next year and recommend this place to everyone. Thank you again for gracious hospitality.

Lovely and Clean

This was, by far, one of the cleanest properties I've stayed at. Lovely neighborhood and I felt very safe. Our only issue, was that there was no TV and felt that it should state it better and in bold letters. While we don't sit and veg at the box, it is actually my down time as I was there for work and needed a bit on "brain inactivity". I work on a computer and we just need background noise and didn't want to look at the computer for that service. But would I stay again? Yes. The only other detail I would mention is that for someone who wasn't religious, the decor may be a bit off putting. Some guests may not feel comfortable with it with their personal lifestyle and beliefs. Simply our observation.

Just as described - clean, comfortable, convenient to both Mansfield and Lexington. We were in town for the races at Mid-Ohio and found a really nice "back route" to the track. The home is well stocked with plenty of towels, blankets, and kitchen amenities, and being able to put our motorcycles in the garage was an extra, unexpected bonus! Would definitely stay here again.
