Melissa
Hello! I'm Melissa — a life coach, yoga teacher, and meditation instructor living in the heart of Yellow Springs, Ohio.
I share my home with Precious, my senior Bengal cat, who is calm, independent, and wonderful company.
I offer a nice, new-build ranch home in the desirable Spring Meadows neighborhood, just one mile from downtown Yellow Springs. The home has two bedrooms and is available for full home exchanges or as a private guest room — whatever works best for both of us.
The west back windows overlook open countryside, and the sunsets here are beautiful with spacious skies. You're also just minutes from Glen Helen Nature Preserve, with miles of trails winding through old-growth forest, waterfalls, and natural springs.
Yellow Springs is perfectly positioned for exploring the region — just 20 minutes to downtown Dayton, and about an hour to both Columbus and Cincinnati. It's an ideal home base whether you're here for the trails, the arts scene, or a day trip to the city.
Yellow Springs itself is something people don't expect — a small town with a genuinely vibrant soul. Think: independent shops, local restaurants, live music, an art house cinema, a local brewery, and a ‘hippie’ community. It consistently ranks among Ohio's most desirable places to live, and once you visit, it's easy to see why.
Whether you're here to hike, create, eat, or simply exhale for a few days, I think you'll find this place quietly remarkable. I'm looking forward to welcoming guests who appreciate nature, community, and a slower, more intentional pace.
