Family Getaway

Clean, well stocked, large kitchen. House has lots of rooms which was great for different family members to visit without being on top of each other. Outside decks were fabulous. The fire pit was a highlight as was the location to the nature trail.

Great rental

This space was even better than the pictures. Huge house with plenty of space to spread out, relax, and enjoy. The woodsy setting was so relaxing. The big dining room table seated 8 comfortably for food and games. Very nice rental.

A Slice of Solitude

Wow! This home was immaculate, roomy, and beautiful. Hands down, it provided more amenities than we have ever experienced in a rental. Our group of seven fully enjoyed walking through the woods, chatting around the fire pit, and enjoying scrumptious meals in the well stocked, fully functional kitchen. We LOVED our time at Salt Run Summ, and hope to return one day!

Great Stay

Had an amazing quiet getaway at Salt Run Retreat. The whole house is extremely clean and is stocked with everything you need. The 3 levels of decks are all enclosed so my pup really enjoyed running around free to check out the sights. There are great walking trails right off the back of the property and it is very peaceful. The kitchen was great for cooking meals and there was plenty of room to spread out if you have a large group. I will definitely be back!

Wonderful, welcoming house

We came into town for a swim meet and really enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and well-equipped. It is a beautiful home that sits in the woods on the edge of a nature preserve and we really enjoyed the privacy and woodland setting. It’s also very close to Denison and downtown Granville, so an easy commute to the aquatic center. We would stay here again. It’s a great place for a larger group and there was plenty of space for both adults and kids.

Tranquil and Well Equipped

This was a perfect place for our friends getaway weekend! This home truly had everything you could possible need and was so comfortable and cozy! It’s obvious the owners lived in and loved this home before opening it up to others to enjoy. We enjoyed hiking the trails that started from the edge of the driveway. Only suggestion would be to have copies of the trail map for visitors to take with them. We truly enjoyed every minute and appreciated the well equipped kitchen and other rooms.

Peaceful, relaxing and clean!

Stayed for a long weekend with family to celebrate my Dads birthday! We had a wonderful time. They lay out is perfect for several people to have their own space and be together at the same time. The house and kitchen were wonderfully supplied, and excellently set up! The house and setting is so peaceful! Love the access to the trials and very convenient 6 min drive to downtown Granville! Will for sure be staying here again in the future!

Beautiful home

Absolutely wonderful! The house was even better than the pictures! The entire property was incredibly clean! The secluded location allowed for peaceful nights. One day it rained the entire day and the season room off the back of the house allowed us to sit and enjoy the cool weather without getting wet! A masterful home. The home is split up just enough so you are not all on top of each other but can all hang out any time you want. The welcome binder gave specific instructions and came with a small letter from the owners. Definitely recommend this property!
