Great beautiful place.

I love any place that has a lake but i will say the house was great and the lake was nice. The only problem is how steep that walk was to the lake but it was still nice. Love the modern updates on the home. Hot tub was a great addition. Overall it was great thank you!

Morgan was transparent about oven issues, but we had no trouble managing with the rest of the kitchen. The kitchen was very well stocked and the master bed was more comfortable than any bed we've ever slept in!

Very nice stay at the Apple Valley lake house

We really enjoyed the house. We took full advantage of the wonderful hot tub with a nice view of the lake, while enjoying the snow fall. Definitely will go back. We also had a really nice dinner for New Year's Eve at The Alcove restaurant. Will be going back there too.

It's very clear the host has been thoughtful and intentional in making their home inviting, comfortable, attractive, and functional. There was plenty of room for our large group (7 adults, 2 teenagers, and 1 toddler) and we all agreed we'd love to stay there again in the future. Thank you!

Well appointed lake house

Our extended family had a wonderful and relaxing time at this property over Kenyon College graduation weekend (and it’s only 20 minutes to campus). The owners have taken time to provide many special touches to increase the comfort of renters. Communication with the owner was excellent both prior to and during our stay. A special request was handled immediately as well-so grateful! The online description is accurate. We would definitely stay again. Highly recommend!

A Hidden Gem in Howard — Where Cleanliness Meets Canopy!If the Swiss Family Robinson had access to VRBO, this is the kind of place they’d have booked!From the moment we arrived, it was clear: this place doesn’t just get cleaned—it gets curated. Immaculately maintained, the home sparkled like it was personally offended by dust. Fun was tucked away both inside and out!Location? You couldn’t ask for more poetic placement: nestled lakeside under a cathedral of golden fall foliage, the property strikes that rare balance between woodland seclusion and aquatic proximity. Morning coffee on the deck feels like sipping from nature’s front row seat. The lake glistens just beyond the trees, while nearby trails whisper promises of adventure with every crunchy leaf underfoot.As a basecamp for extracurricular activities, this place is a goldmine. Hiking trails, kayaking, stargazing, or simply sitting still and pretending you’re in a high-end nature documentary—it’s all at your fingertips.In short, if you’re looking for a spotless, joy-stocked, beautifully situated cabin in the woods with all the charm and none of the bugs, look no further. This Howard hideaway is peak Midwest magic.

Great Ohio Fall Reunion

Our group had folks from Cleveland, Columbus, Missouri and So. Dakota. All had a great time in this beautiful Fall (but great anytime I'm sure) setting. Sitting by the Lake, fishing from the dock, enjoying the hot tub, gathering for meals in the great kitchen/dining/family room area ( home has great flow), enjoying NCAA Football and MLB Baseball on the huge TV (we didn't know much about streaming from YouTube TV, etc. but this owner had it set up beautifully for us), coffee on the deck overlooking the lake, short trips ot Mt. Vernon for groceries and Danvile for Church made it a tremendous time for all. Host is very gracious and home, setting are fantastic for family, group a few couples, etc. First-rate!

Great choice for our family!

Exactly as advertised - looks just like the pictures, no suprises. Owners were very accessible by phone/text and super friendly. House was stocked with everything you might need. A/C was very refreshing. Pool table was a big hit with the kids! The back deck and fire pit area were quiet and relaxing. The water was cool and refreshing, easy to swim off the dock. You might want water shoes, since the bottom is rocky or muddy. Gets to be about 10 feet deep just off the dock. Highly recommend! Thank you!
