This home was the perfect spot for our family to celebrate our son’s college graduation. Plenty of room for everyone, very clean, excellent layout, hot tub was great and on top of that, unbelievably comfortable beds. The host even offered an early check-in which we gratefully accepted and all communication was quick and helpful.

Beautiful home

Property was easy to find. The house was beautiful, lots of room inside and out. The beds were super comfortable. Towels and sheets were soft. The owners were extremely easy to work with and kept in touch with me to see how everything was going and asked if we needed anything. I highly recommend this beautiful home

Family birthday

Our family had a wonderful stay at The View. It was exactly as advertised and exceeded our expectations. Every detail was inviting and made the house extra special. There were many great spaces for our family to spend time together from the fire pits, screen porch, tv spaces, hot tub, game table etc. I would highly recommend this home.

Incredibly clean, beautiful views of the lake, possbily the most comfortable beds any of us have ever slept in, well appointed kitchen, spa quality showers, Great rooms upstairs & down, great hot tub, 2 warm fire pits, great wifi, large modern TV's, a decked out coffee bar and a host that was always available, What more could anyone ask for in a vacation property. This was a 5 star plus experience. We will be back for sure!

Luxurious Hideaway

I never dreamed I could find the perfect property to house 12 members of our family. This was it! Owners Patrick and Lindsey were the perfect hosts and should be very proud of their accomplishments! The house is spacious, beautifully decorated with luxury everywhere. The hosts thought of EVERYTHING that might be needed before we thought of it ourselves. As promised, we were delighted to see wildlife everywhere. A family of deer even appeared one morning! This is a beautiful property with beautiful, attentive owners. We highly recommend it!

WOW! All of the amenities, updates and extras

We had 4 adult couples and 3 babies and had the most enjoyable weekend celebrating a birthday. The house is laid out SO well to accommodate multiple families and the owners have put so much love and thought into every detail. High end furniture, soft towels, coffee bar, popcorn machine, comfortable beds with high end sheets. High end luxury showers, felt like we were staying at a boutique hotel with 10x more space. It was a perfect spot to enjoy the gorgeous lake view and is super close to Papa Boos and the Waterfront live music bar. 10/10 recommend! We will be back!!!

The View at Buckeye Lake was super special to us. We celebrated the extended weekend with girl cousins. There were 9 adults and I must say there was plenty of space. We enjoyed the two propane outdoor fire pits and the hot tub. The main common areas were well decorated and the furniture is comfy and fun. We loved the two bars, one on the main living area and one downstairs, for placing refreshments in the refrigerators and having ice at hand easily. The master bath is huge and very pretty. The bath towels and beach towels were great and it good supply.A few suggestions we have is to add some serving platters for such items as appetizers, a few more dish towels would be great and good window cleaning is needed but not horrible. Overall this home is close to many activities and restaurants on the lake and provides a tranquil retreat for a group. The memories and love we shared as a family was truly remarkable and we thank you for this beautiful space.

Faboulous Family Retreat

The house had every high end upgrades! We had 9 adults and 3 kids sleeping over and we all had room to breath. The inside main upstairs accomodated all of us and kept us cool when it was hot during the day. At night we sat in chairs that all had cup holders that swung out. Hanging in the Jacuzzi while looking at a magnificint lake was wonderful. I ended up cooking bbq, which was 3 slabs of ribs, 2 trays of chicken wings and cooked hibachi on blackstone out back. If your there in the winter tge back yard has an epic slide hill. The cutlery was cuusinart, coffe bars were a high topic for all. They thought of every detail from luxiary blankets to luxiary towels. My favorite part was the upstairs shower that was a waterfall shower and made you feel you were in a $500-700 hotel room. We also enjoyed the balconys with our supplied coffe in the am. 2 big friges, wine cooler, washer/dryer. The owners were quick to respond cared about our trip and were wonerful to work with. We higly recomend this establishment and will return.

About the host

Hosted by Patrick Klein

Host profile image
As Columbus residents, The View at Buckeye Lake is our family's weekend getaway. We love hosting families and friends at the home that enjoy the lake life, gathering together for holidays, or just there to have a great weekend! We designed this house ourselves in hopes to create the ultimate spa retreat home. We hope you enjoy!

Why they chose this property

This home is close to everything FUN at Buckeye Lake. First, the best bars on the lake Papa Boos and Waterfront are less than 5 minutes away! If you are a kayak or canoe lover - an amazing drop off point is located in Thornport just 3 miles away. And this home is on a private road which allows for a quiet weekend retreat!

What makes this property unique

As you can see, this home is really large in size with 3600sqft, 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. There is enough space for everyone to have their own area and fun. The hot tub and front patio is the perfect hangout area featuring two fire pits. The decks provide the most spectacular view of the lake, especially the Primary Suites walkout. And the living areas are spacious and comfortable for everyone! We have some treats: a coffee bar and a popcorn bar which were so fun to create! Lastly, we wanted you to think of the word SPA when you walked into our home. We went overboard on the amazing Brooklinen sheets and towels, Dreamcloud mattresses and the gorgeous primary bathroom! We hope you enjoy it is as much as we do!
