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.

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.
