A Wonderful Retreat

We absolutely loved the home, lake, and atmosphere. It gave us a chance to recharge as a family. Clean, quiet, and relaxful. The owners answered all questions timely, were accommodating, and pleasant. Hope to stay there again!

Lovely weekend at the Lake

We had a fabulous stay at Brad and Susan’s beautiful lakefront home! Our daughter graduated from Kenyon College and it was just perfect for our visit! It was cozy, clean and well stocked. Every detail was thought through and Susan did a great job communicating with me! We are so happy we chose to stay at this home in the lake!

Graduation getaway

We stayed at this lovely lake house with 2 sets of grandparents to attend our daughter’s graduation from Kenyon College. This house was perfect for the entire family. It was accessible for our grandparents with beautiful views of the lake and plenty to do. The owners were super responsive when we had a question. Highly recommended!

A great getaway!

We vacationed with some friends of ours so we had 4 adults and 2 teenagers in the house. The size of the property and location were wonderful. We never felt like there wasnt enough room to have our own space, but it was also very quaint. The views from the porch were amazing, especially at Sunset. The owners were kind and quick to respond. We very much enjoyed our time at this property and hope to be able to come back again sometime soon.
