We loved our stay. The home was so cozy and inviting. We felt comfortable and at home there. The kitchen is well equipped, lovely bathroom with a great shower. Nice little backyard with a grill, which we enjoyed using. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. We were sad to leave, we felt so at home there. We couldn't have asked for a nicer place. Truly lovely

Liked: Check-in, communication
It was a cute cottage. The neighborhood is run down though. It’s surrounded by trailers that are all rusty. The door knob to the bathroom broke while we were there and we got locked in a couple times which was scary. The hot tub needed maintenance and the fire pit didn’t work. The house could use some updates and a new couch but it did its job. It was fun. I had a good time in Ohio. I’m a New Yorker it was a nice weekend trip.
We really enjoyed our stay. The hot tub was AMAZING!!!! And the house was very comfortable. Great communication from the hosts, including excellent check-in instructions.
The house exceeded our expectations! It was in a decent location and we were so impressed with the cleanliness of the entire house. We would definitely stay again!
Loved the updated appliances and the easy key access. Neighborhood was quiet and really close to the water. Great experience would definitely stay there again!
Our group of four booked this for a quiet girls weekend to read and enjoy some time without our kids. The location was quiet, very clean, and had everything we needed!
This space was great for the 2 of us wanting a quiet get-away. We could easily walk the 2 blocks to the lake, also walked to Buckeye Brewery and The Boat Yard. The kitchen is well set up with all we needed. Everything was clean and the host was easy to communicate with.
A perfectly charming home that was just right for our family! We spent the days wandering and evenings relaxing in a place that quickly felt like home. Great history, food, and thrifting in surrounding areas. Neighborhood was quiet and cozy. Home was spotless and inviting. Owners were great at communicating with zero micromanagement. An all-around fantastic trip. We will absolutely rent this home again when we visit our family.
We had a wonderful stay at Buckeye Lake while in the area for work. We are so glad we extended our weekend! This home is close to the Buckeye Lake Dam Trail, the public kayak launch, and The Blue Heron Kitchen and Pub, which was absolutely delightful!
We had a wonderful stay and the home was clean, fresh and overall well maintained. We will consider renting again when we are back in the area a year from now.
