Dayton Air Force Museum Getaway! Close to WPAFB, Downtown, Wright State is widely praised for its unbeatable location across from the Air Force museum, easy parking, a quiet neighborhood, and especially responsive hosting that makes arrival and communication straightforward.
Many guests find the house clean and comfortable, with a stocked kitchen, reliable Wi‑Fi, washer/dryer, and a basement game room with ping‑pong and air hockey. As an older property, some note dated touches, a small bathroom, or occasional maintenance and cleanliness lapses, and light sleepers sometimes hear nearby trains. Without a car, reaching shops and restaurants can be inconvenient. Overall, expect a modest, practical base well suited to museum‑focused trips.

An older home so not new and modern, the wood floors are creaky, but that didn’t bother us. Bed was comfortable as was the living room furniture. Our request for more towels was taken care of promptly. Ice maker was jammed, so not working and we let the owner know. We stayed 2 nights and were booked for 3, but decided to pack up and leave after dinner on the 3rd night We only live an hour away and had some impending medical issues in a couple days. Owner is very responsive to communications and responds promptly. He is even going to mail us the phone charger my husband left behind. Above and beyond.

we went to Dayton to visit the National Museum of the United States Air Force. You won't find a closer location for lodging. This house is about a 10 second drive to the gate of the museum. I like the ping pong and air hockey tables in the basement.

This charming older home is very conveniently located directly across from the entrance to the US Air Force Museum in a quiet neighborhood. You can stand on the porch and look over at historic planes on the museum grounds. Painted bright cheerful blue with yellow door, it could not be easier to find. While there is a driveway, we found it so convenient to park on the blacktop across the street. It's like they made the street extra wide just for pull-in parking. There are no houses across the street, hence the uninterrupted view of the museum. We could get to all the Wright brothers' sites easily as well as the Dayton Art Institute and a several brew pubs. The house has excellent WiFi and two televisions. While I didn't cook in the kitchen, I did make coffee in the Mr. Coffee but the host also provided a Keurig with pods. I just happened to have brought drop supplies. I thought the aviation artwork on the walls was a nice touch and the leather sofas were especially comfortable. There were games, books and puzzles. The host was prompt in communications. We enjoyed our stay.

The view of the museum was such a hit for our kids who sat on the front porch late at night with no issues. The private drive made it nice to load and unload. Kitchen fully stocked. Rooms and beds clean and stocked with plenty of bedding. Game area in basement and multiple TVs made this the perfect landing spot between soccer tournament games. If you’re attending a big soccer tournament, this house is centrally located to all complexes. Security code specific to guest which made me feel safe knowing nobody else had a current code. Communication from owner timely.

You cannot get any closer if you want to stay near the USAF Museum. A nice house with everything to make you feel like home. A GREAT selection of movies and a DVD player if you need entertainment. A nice base camp for your adventures!

We needed a clean 2 bedroom place so we could go through the museum over 2 or 3 days. The house was perfect for our needs and right across the street from the museum. It was easy check in, clean, lots of TVs with Roku and kitchen properly supplied. I would recommend.

The home was very clean and tastefully decorated with all listed amenities in clean and working order. Bedrooms are very spacious, kitchen is fully equipped and the property is well-maintained. The gated driveway and yard provides an extra sense of safety, neighbors were very nice, and the front porch offers a view of the Air Force Museum. Gerald was very responsive and friendly.

Pricing was reasonable. The neighbors had trash in their yard and dogs would bark a lot. I liked the house very cozy. Fridge was not completely cleaned and some towels were left in a basket previously used that appeared unclean. Beds weren’t as comfortable as expected.

The property was just as described. The location was very quiet and across the street from AFM. It's an older house but it's clean & modern with comfortable beds. I would definitely stay again and recommend to others. Although there is a train close by we only recall hearing it once or twice in 2 days and neither time disturbed us.

Host was accomodating.We didn’t have a vehicle so that made things a bit awkward as there are no conveniences nearby but that was our mistake.

The property reminds me of a house from the Christmas story - with some modern conveniences. Nothing pretentious, but then again I got the feeling Dayton is the opposite of fancy in of itself. Clean comfortable and excellent air conditioning. The owner was very responsive to all concerns and made himself avilable. I’d recommend this if being away from downtown is desired or you want to spend a lot of time at air force museum.

Older home in a quiet neighborhood. Very centrally located for our trip to visit family. Enjoyed hving the AFB & museum across the street. Easy to find other necessities (gas, groceries, restaurants) within a short drive. The home was nice. Plenty of room for 3 adults and one child. Cute porch for morning coffee. Large kitchen. Our son enjoyed the ping pong table in the basement. Yard was nice, larger than expected (wish we would have brought lawn games like bocce ball or cornhole). Bike trails easily accessed. Owner was very nice, communicative & flexible. The house wasn't spotless, but overall it exceeded our expectations. No complaints & will definitely look at staying here again on our next trip to the area. Thank you!

This cute little house is exactly as listed. Was across the highway from the USAF Museum with parking in the gated driveway. Had everything you need and was very quiet at night. The bed was comfortable but the only issue I had was that the bed was very low to the floor and if you've got bad knees it's a little difficult but that in no way detracts from the house itself.

This small house is conveniently located if you plan to visit the museum. Our family of four adults stayed there. Beds were good with foam pillows. Bathroom is small with some age showing, but everything worked fine, and shampoo, conditioner and body soap is provided in small cupboard behind bathroom door. Gerald the owner was excellent in communicating with us. One of the best VRBO owners we’ve had in this regard. This house is in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of convenient parking. We did find the basement light on upon arrival, which we thought was eerie, but Gerald explained the switch was broken. Gave us a good laugh!

My husband and I spent the day at the W-P AF museum and were definitely ready to get off our feet by 3PM. The house was just across the street from the museum, so it was a quick trip. Checkin was smooth, no issues. There was a few trains that went by during the night that woke us up, but the listing did state that there was a railroad track nearby. Overall, nice stay!

Overall this house was great for our needs. Dated but as described for the most part. Loved the area as it was very safe and quiet. Host was amazing and very responsive and helpful. One of the best hosts we have had. House could use some updates but it worked for the four of us perfectly. Would definitely stay again if we ever comeBack.

Location
Excellent for museum visits—directly across from the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force—in a quiet, safe neighborhood and a short drive to other Dayton sights. Without a car, access to conveniences can feel limited.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. We felt comfortable and relaxed between our activities nearby. The location was perfect for visiting the USAF Museum, Carillon Park and Woodland Cemetery. We also found a wonderful diner nearby, Debbie's Restaurant.

we went to Dayton to visit the National Museum of the United States Air Force. You won't find a closer location for lodging. This house is about a 10 second drive to the gate of the museum. I like the ping pong and air hockey tables in the basement.

This charming older home is very conveniently located directly across from the entrance to the US Air Force Museum in a quiet neighborhood. You can stand on the porch and look over at historic planes on the museum grounds. Painted bright cheerful blue with yellow door, it could not be easier to find. While there is a driveway, we found it so convenient to park on the blacktop across the street. It's like they made the street extra wide just for pull-in parking. There are no houses across the street, hence the uninterrupted view of the museum. We could get to all the Wright brothers' sites easily as well as the Dayton Art Institute and a several brew pubs. The house has excellent WiFi and two televisions. While I didn't cook in the kitchen, I did make coffee in the Mr. Coffee but the host also provided a Keurig with pods. I just happened to have brought drop supplies. I thought the aviation artwork on the walls was a nice touch and the leather sofas were especially comfortable. There were games, books and puzzles. The host was prompt in communications. We enjoyed our stay.

Had a great time while spending the weekend for the Air Force Marathon. Walking distance to the Air Force Museum and the start of the run. Perfect location and perfect size for our small group. Would definitely stay again! 5 stars!

The blue house is easy to find and it’s set off a quiet neighborhood road right across from the Air Force museum. My kids ages 6 and 4 loved having books they could read and some games like Uno available for us. The best part was watching them discover how to play ping pong and air hockey for the first time at the house. We had a nice couple nights enjoying the front porch after the kids went to bed we will book this again when we visit the museum!

Great place to stay for the weekend. We came in for a soccer tournament so we really just slept here. It was nice being by the Air Force Museum and near the Wright Brothers attraction for down time between games. It was nice having a washer and dryer to get soccer clothes ready for the next day. Hope to stay again for next year’s tournament.

Great location for museum of the Air Force. Lovely quiet area. Not luxurious but clean and had everything we needed. Internet and TV worked without stress. Water was hot. Host was accomodating.We didn’t have a vehicle so that made things a bit awkward as there are no conveniences nearby but that was our mistake.

Great value and also convenient also to a great, great cafe nearby too - Pettibone Coffee. Turns out Dayton's cafe scene is in it's 4th wave. Only thing I'd ask is that perhaps the cooking pots and pans were refreshed for those who want to cook. Overall would recommend and would happily revisit. Thanks!

Older home in a quiet neighborhood. Very centrally located for our trip to visit family. Enjoyed hving the AFB & museum across the street. Easy to find other necessities (gas, groceries, restaurants) within a short drive. The home was nice. Plenty of room for 3 adults and one child. Cute porch for morning coffee. Large kitchen. Our son enjoyed the ping pong table in the basement. Yard was nice, larger than expected (wish we would have brought lawn games like bocce ball or cornhole). Bike trails easily accessed. Owner was very nice, communicative & flexible. The house wasn't spotless, but overall it exceeded our expectations. No complaints & will definitely look at staying here again on our next trip to the area. Thank you!

House was great. Close to anything you might need. Loved the ping pong table, hadn't played in years! Just needs some more kitchenware and a cutting board. We are old folks so the tv thing was difficult for us. Maybe directions for local tv would help All in all we loved our stay.

Very clean but older than the pictures indicated. Appreciated the budget stay though for the one night and convenient location to the Air Force museum!! If you're a coffee drinker bring your own things. Also be sure to check out the area to be sure you feel comfortable with the location 👍 Easy check in and out and great communication with the owners.
