Nice little house in a convenient location
I was using this house to accommodate family visiting in from out of state. We spent a weekend exploring central Ohio. This house is a fun mix of modern and vintage decor in a convenient location. With easy access to I-70 you can use this place as a basecamp for doing all kinds of fun stuff without having to deal with the traffic and hassles of Columbus. I would definitely stay here again.

A week at Buckeye Lake
Love the house. Clean, and just like the pictures showed. Love the Boat Yard, and walk-in the bike path. Also they allowed our well trained dog 🐶 more places needs to be like these great owners. They was nice also. We will return!

Adorable lake vibes
Stayed at this property just across the road from Buckeye Lake. It was clean, convenient with fun lake vibes. Barb was easy to work with and gave some good tips for the area. Would definitely stay again.
Great home and convenient location. I will definitely return to this home again.

Nice lake stay!
Unfortunately, I could only stay one night due to not feeling well! Wonderful property! Beautifully renovated inside! Barb was wonderful! I’m a light sleeper so being close to the road kept me up a little at night. I liked having a fenced front yard for my small havanese! I would definitely stay again!

Short and sweet
The property with sparkling clean and perfectly adorable. My family of 6 spent the weekend at the Lake House and it was a perfect choice. My son locked us out of the house one night and Barb was quick to help. We definitely would recommend this property.
