Summary: This peaceful slice of heaven we found from out of town due to a doctor's appointment we scheduled early in the area. Turned out to be an amazing day. It was 70 degrees in March, went kayaking and cooked out on the provided gas grill. Between the wildlife and the stunning view, The place was spotless and we couldn't have asked for more. Come to find out the nice older couple we met next door was in from out of town as both neighbors live out of the area. So what a gem we found. Ended up calling our host Steve who was great about this shower head they had attached to the shower that had this 15 stage filter on it that made your hair and skin feel amazing. Who knew but told my husband we have to get one of those. Wow, we didn't want to leave and will definitely visit again. Highly recommend

Summary: Traveled over the holidays with my 10 year old and grown teen boys to see family nearby. The house fit our needs perfectly.Read the reviews to get a little more insight into the place beyond the description (other than the one where someone drunkenly walked into a neighbors house). The description is accurate, the reviews, for the most part, are accurate, and when we're back in the area we will absolutely look at staying here again.The host is responsive, the neighborhood is quiet, the lake is great, and the place was exceptionally clean.Thank you for having us Steve!

Summary: Address numbers not on house was confusing. Parked in next door neighbors spot. He came out shouting with hands in air. Neighbor watches property for owner. Had to pay owner extra for our dogs which ended up being a technology error on our part. Owner was irritated and called us drunk. Told him to not send messages that weren’t true. Spiral staircase was dangerous. Downstairs was musty. Bathrooms were awkward as the toilet is upstairs and the bathroom downstairs has no toilet. Water downstairs is bad smelling and leaves disgusting odor on skin. Owner and neighbor apologized for their rude behavior on the last day and offered us two free days. We refused. Beautiful view wasn’t worth the issues we had to deal with. Not ever again!

Summary: We met friends from Columbus for the weekend. This house was within easy driving distance of the Towpath trail. We also toured Stan Hywet. The outdoor setting is beautiful. The drawback was that the only toilet is upstairs in a half bath. One of the bedrooms is downstairs. And there is a narrow metal winding staircase to go up and down

Summary: The house, and our interaction with the property owner were disappointing. We were greeted with about 30, steep, cement stairs required to access the property, this was not advertised. These stairs were not easy to navigate in the light, and were difficult carrying anything and in the dark. On the second evening of our stay, we returned to the property with our friends, and intended to have dinner, make s’mores, fish and enjoy the view. As we began to build a fire in the pit, the property owner came out of his house (on the same property), and put our fire out. He said renters weren’t permitted to use the fire pit (although it is pictured in the advertisement). He then accused us of not following the rules, and demanded that my guests leave. He did not allow me to say anything, or explain. We had not caused any disturbance, and had no intention to do so. It was embarrassing. Additionally, the inside of the house, wasn’t the same quality, we have experienced at the many properties we have stayed at. The house had a very musty/wet smell. The water also had a very strong smell - so much, we decided to shower and wash clothes at nearby families (but the washing machine wasn’t working either). The bathroom setup was odd, and inconvenient - toilet upstairs, shower (pipe coming from hole in the ceiling)and sink downstairs. The spiral, metal staircase is extremely narrow, it’s hard to carry anything down, and are overall difficult to navigate. Unfortunately,
