Historic Old West End Devilbiss Mansion, with three floors of luxury to enjoy.
Historically significant space with all of the modern conveniences that you would expect. Located in a historic community within minutes of Downtown. Our guests have found the property to be stunning. We are new to VRBO. But we have over 400 online reviews with an average rating of 4.8. We decided to include the third floor Penthouse/ballroom. This enables our guests to enjoy the entire mansion. The Mansion is 10,500 square feet. The Third Floor is a 3,000 square foot Ballroom/Penthouse, which is included. There are seven bathrooms and seven bedrooms. There are two additional sleeping areas. One on the on the third floor and the other on the first floor. Enclosed fenced parking. Additional street parking. The World Class Toledo Museum of Art is a brisk 15-minute walk away. See more on Bookmymansion1.com
The house itself is absolutely charming! We loved the many bedrooms, the large third floor for gathering, and the two kitchens. We had 20 people, and the only time it ever felt crowded was when everyone gathered in the kitchen to serve dinner. For those reasons, I want to give it 5 stars, but we had struggles with wifi access, responsiveness to time sensitive questions, and some things in the house didn't work as needed.
This place was great for our reunion of college friends and their families. There were lots of places for adults to gather and kids to play and toddlers to nap. We enjoyed the outdoor space as well! Check-in and communication were easy.
We gathered to celebrate a PhD and an engagement! We had 18 friends and family from 8 states (not all stayed at the house). It was the perfect place to host; plenty of space to gather and visit and be happy!
We had a group of 23 people, including 11 children aged 6 months to 13 years. Bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen were excellent for our needs.The dining area and sitting areas were too small for us, but we were able to work around that.We had serious safety concerns on our first night, regarding emergency exits and exposed electrical wiring. We could only find one working exit door to the entire house. In response to our request for help, the hosts explained that the doors labeled "DO NOT ENTER" could be used as emergency exits, and that the front door, though stiff, could be opened. They did not address our concerns about exposed electrical wiring, but instead suggested that I was trying to get a discount from them, and that I should police my children better. After this response we chose to handle the electrical safety concerns ourselves and at our own expense.These safety concerns could have been avoided if the hosts or their handyman did a thorough walk-through inspection before our arrival, and labelled the emergency exits.
Very nice property with enough space for all of us. We were in town for a bowling tournament. The house had all the necessities which made making meals a breeze.
12 of us ladies had a wonderful time - so much room for all of us to spread out and space to all be together. So many details that were fun to find during our stay. Everything we needed was there!
What a great place for a family reunion! Beautiful back yard, lots of space to spread out, but great gathering places as well. Loved all the stained glass!
The pictures were very nice but seeing and being inside the place was amazing.
My moms 70th birthday was one to remember thanks to the amazing place. I will be recommending this location to many of my professional friends and family! Absolutely amazing!
This property is stunning! We had plenty of room for our group of 8. The property was conveniently located to everywhere we needed to go in Toledo. The West End is an up and coming neighborhood, with many properties in revitalization. I would recommend staying here if you have a larger group.
Not the greatest part of town, but never felt unsafe. Had zero communication with owner, except note on the counter. Huge space with lots of rooms. Only one TV worked out of entire house. Lots of non-working lights. Master bath has a steam shower, but also doesnât work. But for the price, it was a great value!
We had a wonderful weekend reunion at the Devilbiss Mansion! Our group of 14 was comfortable and able to spread out with all the extra bedrooms. The house was equipped with everything we needed. Thanks, Vince!
Les points faibles : Communication et emplacement
Very Spacious Place to Enjoy
Very good place to stay for bigger groups. Only concern we had was some items (ex. Dryer) not functional and couldnât use for whole entire stay. However, overall it was a great spacious place and perfect for large groups to stay and enjoy.
We stayed here for our annual fantasy baseball auction. The upstairs was an excellent space for a get together. Great lighting and comfortable furniture. Nice bedrooms and plenty of televisions. Some good space outside for having a catch.
Host was easy to work with. Everyone raved about how nice it was.
The house is massive. The kitchen is updated and had plenty of room to prepare food as well as to eat. The house was spacious enough for multi generations to have separate areas to interact as well as come together.
Outside was a pleasant area to sit, chat and cook even though it was a crisp spring day
Everyone loved it

The property is amazing. It is so spacious. The property features one-of-a-kind beauty. It's the perfect blend of historic craftsmanship with updated features. The kitchen is updated with Viking stove and convection oven. The adjacent morning room is open to the kitchen. The butler's pantry connects the kitchen to our formal dining area. The grounds are on over an acre. That is unique for in-the-city living. The property is protected by a 6-foot rough-iron fence.
