My boyfriend, sister, and brother in law stayed for a weekend with the main reason to visit Ohio University as Alumni. This place was a perfect distance away and a great location. The house was very clean and perfect for our group with the games/hot tub/ fire pit. Check in was easy and the company was quick to respond to a question via email. Will definitely come back when the weather is warmer!
Came for parents week. This was a great place for the parents to stay. Have a daughter and two nieces at OU. The house was beautiful. It was nice to be able to have places to sit and talk and to cook/eat. It wasn't far from campus. We had a little challenge finding it but once there were pleased with our entire stay.
The property was in a great location. We enjoyed being by the lake and walking our dogs around the property. The house was clean and gave us plenty of room for our family. The grandsons loved being able to play pool in the garage. we had a little problem getting the door code, but a Vrbo employee worked diligently at finding the info we needed to get into the house. Would stay here again if in the area.
We all had a great time at your place for Labor Day Weekend! My grandson, who is 10, just loved fishing off the dock and the paddle boat! They really enjoyed the pool table and basketball game in the garage.We did a couple of hikes at Hocking Hills too! It was a very enjoyable and relaxing weekend! Thanks for a great time!
The stay was fun! There were some issues with the place like the ceiling above the bedroom shower is severely peeling, most of the blinds were messed up, the screens had holes in them, and it could have been cleaner, along with other smaller issues. But it is a great location! We love the lake, and had a great time!
We came for a quick getaway. This place was lovely. Very clean. Minor issues that were attended to quickly. Nothing that impacted our stay. The pool table is a nice addition. We enjoyed multiple games on one of the rainy days of our stay. Great location and the food from Lucky’s is close and delicious!

Lacking in curb appeal as the photos were taken when the property was in much better shape. Improvements need to be made on the exterior, boating equipment, and deck. Interior is pretty much as seen in the photos, but lacking in some minor amenities. These were brought to the attention of the rental manager.
The view of the lake is beautiful

Lakeview retreat
Property was partially painted. Not very eye appealing. Garage doors were dirty. ( Mud or something thrown across them) easy clean. Boats were full of water. Should have been checked before scheduled stay. Glider on porch had bolt missing so not usable. Easy fix. Lights in hot tub didnt work. No paddles for canoe. Game room was just garage.very hot and smelly so didnt use. I felt the orice was too high for what we got. Although it was fairly clean. And a beautiful area.
Loved the paddle boats, canoes, hot tub, and pool table. Lots to keep us busy. The house was very clean and updated. More than enough room for our family of 4.
Would have liked to have a few blankets for the beds.
Great property…the posted pictures don’t do it justice. My two sons and enjoyed our three night stay. We just wish we could’ve stayed longer. Nothing to complain about.
The host was incredibly accommodating! Bad weather caused snags in our stay, but our host did everything in their power to make sure we were taken care of properly. We stay at the 1850 Inn which is beautiful, spacious and clean. I would highly recommend staying at this house if you are in this area. Can't thank the host enough!
Beautiful property on a private lake. We had fun on the paddle boat. Hot tub wasnt working properly but management team sent someone out eight away to fix the issue. I love that we were able to bring our dur baby. She had a wonderful time as well.
My wife and I stayed for a weekend the house was nice and the surrounding area was quiet. The Hot tub wouldn’t go above 88 degrees that’s my only complaint. Other then that it was a great weekend. My wife and I will be going back with our kids.
We had a lovely time. The house is as advertised. It’s super nice and was very clean. We accidentally left a box of crab legs in the fridge. Just an FYI. I apologize for that! Thanks for the wonderful stay!
This property was everything we had hoped for. The setting is very tranquil and peaceful and we had great neighbors beside us. They had a couple of kids and it was fun watching the kids splashing around in the lake while I was peacefully fishing off of the private dock. The only thing I found to be a little upsetting was that the outside furniture had to be cleaned before we could use it. Other than that, it was a great stay and we will definitely be returning in the future.
