60th Birthday Celebration
November 2025
The Ruebling House Townview 2nd floor space was a very nice 2 bedroom space. The master suite was very spacious with attached modern bathroom with built-in shower. The guest bedroom was minimalist with small closet. Open kitchen, dining, living space was spacious. Guest bath was good size with a tub/shower with a 2 sided curtain. and a small vanity. Steps to 2nd floor was a single run, pretty steep. Conveniently across the street from Circle 6 Market & Watering Hole & a 3 minute walk to the new Saddles Social House. The Wentel’s Roadhouse next door was closed. 5 minute drive from Sugar Creek Winery, Defiance Ridge Vineyard & Chandler Hill Veneyards.

Perfect Apartment and Location

My family rented all 4 apartments on this property for our family and the bridal party for my daughter's wedding. The property was absolutely perfect and less than a mile from the venue.

Home Away From Home
December 2023
We found this gem last year when we were looking for a cozy place to stay while visiting relatives for Christmas. It is hard to be away from home for the holidays, but we wanted to be with family. We fell in love with this cozy alternative so much that we booked it for Christmas 2023. We were every bit as pleased this year!

We really appreciated the attention to details, the location, and easy access to the event we were attending while staying in Defiance! The apartment was super clean and more spacious than we expected when the listing said “cozy”. A couple of things-there is no where in either bathroom to hang a wet towel, either a hand towel or bath towel. Also the tv did not work well-seemed to not have a very good internet connection and was difficult to watch a couple of sporting events we were hoping to watch. All in all a very comfy and pleasant stay. We will definitely stay here again!
