Location

Moss Cottage is located two houses north of the intersection of East College St. and Park St -- on the east side of the street. To help you identify Moss Cottage, look for the house with red brick on the bottom and dark brown cedar shingles above. The house number is located to the left of the front door and may be a little hard to see especially when arriving from the north.

We love Moss Cottage!

This is the second time we've stayed at Moss Cottage. We love it! The house itself is beautiful with lots of light, and it's well kept up, clean, and stocked with all the items you need for a comfortable stay. The beds are also very comfortable. I highly recommend a stay here!

Beautiful place to stay

This is the second time we've stayed at Moss Cottage. It's beautiful, clean, well-outfitted, inspiring. A great place to stay if you are visiting Oberlin College--just a couple blocks from everything. And it's also a great place to work. I hope to stay there again for a DIY writing retreat. The host is friendly, helpful, and flexible. I recommend Moss Cottage highly.

Thanks for the kind words Rebecca!  Indeed, as you suggest, please consider Moss Cottage your Oberlin retreat.  You and your family are welcome anytime!  --Todd

So cozy and welcoming!

This was our second time, and definitely not our last, staying at Moss Cottage while visiting our Oberlin student. It's a welcome retreat with lovely ambient lighting, and windows surrounded by greenery. My favorite room is the breakfast area off of the well-equipped kitchen. It overlooks a cute backyard filled with birds and lush trees. The bathroom is HUGE with great water pressure (always important!) and the home is spotless. If I could give it six stars, I would!

Thank you for the wonderful review, Julie!  You and your family are ALWAYS welcome back to Moss Cottage!  --Todd

Excellent stay in Oberlin!

We loved our stay at Moss Cottage! It was convenient to campus and was a perfect, cozy home away from home for our family while we were visiting our daughter in college. We appreciated the beautiful decor, comfortable beds, and many personal touches that made it just the right place for us to rest and relax.
