Outstanding Lake Retreat!

My wife and I absolutely loved this cozy lakeside home! The view was the main attraction at first, but the owners are amazingly responsive (we had to last minute change dates and they took care of us instantly), and the property had all the comforts to make us feel at home. Highly recommend a stay, we can’t wait to come back again!

Great place to stay!

The Braxton Lake House was a wonderful place to stay. I was in town for work. It was quiet, clean, and real cozy. Hoping I can stay here again during the warmer months. I would have loved to spend a warm evening out back grilling and hanging out by the lake. Communication was great with the owners.

Great view!

We were visiting Ohio from Los Angeles and needed a place to stay that was close to family but also served as a nice retreat. This house was perfect for us. The view was wonderful to wake up to, and the home is a short drive away from cute downtown Vermillion, which has several restaurants and a nice little coffee shop. Highly recommend this house if you are staying in the Vermillion area.
