Golf Getaway
Perfect house for a short golf trip at Apple Valley. They have tiny condos right next to the golf course that are actually higher in price than this roomy house right on the 3rd fairway. Will definitely look to book this house next year, as all the fellas enjoyed the house and the golf course.

Reunion
Property was beautiful. House was very clean and anything that was needed was provided. Only issue I had was the bedding. Pillows were not comfortable (everyone has different desire in fluffy/hard). Maybe a variety of each would have been better.

#3 Fairway
Four of us did a couple of days on the golf course and the house was perfectly suited to our needs: the place was spacious and had a great kitchen for the breakfast and dinners we made, the back deck was very pleasurable to sit upon and watch other golfers go by (the frustration and swearing of them, making me feel like I'm not alone), the sleeping quarters gave each one of us a bed and the beds we most comfortable, combined with the family room/kitchen where we lounged on the monster couch while shooting the breeze and listening to music. i would highly recommend the #3 Fairway as a great place for a golf weekend, or any other getaway, and Mark, the property owner made it all so easy and was fast to respond to questions. We're looking forward to staying here again next year! The review gives no more information on the property location than the website does. My review mentions the 3rd fairway and the description on the VRBO site, says 5-star house on 3rd fairway...what's the difference? neither one discloses the exact location and there's probably 20-house on the 3rd fairway.

Fantastic Place to Stay
The pictures showed the house "fantastically." It is a wonderful place to stay. The view from the deck(s) and the patios overlooking the golf course is beautiful. But it's not just the awesome house. The hosts paid attention to details, personalizing our stay and it was the little details that made our stay extra nice!

Fantastic Property
We always enjoy staying at this location. We have stayed here the last three years while visiting Kenyon College and I am sure this is one of the best in the area. The owners play attention to every detail and the house is extremely well kept and nicely renovated. I would highly recommend this house for anyone looking to stay in the Mount Vernon / Gambier area. You won't be disappointed.

Best house ever!!
This is a beautifully appointed home with very comfortable beds! I was a little hesitant because we were visiting our son at Kenyon and we felt this was a little far but it's perfect. The home is situated in a way that you're unaware of anything around you and you just focus on the incredible views and the fantastic gas fire place and the wonderful time spent with family. It's very roomy and the kitchen is very well equipped. We'll definitely be booking here again.

Girls golf weekend best vrbo on the course
Exceptional property, everything seemed brand new. Very clean with fluffy towels and linens. Kitchen had all the extras we needed, coffee maker, toaster, and cutlery. Grill on the patio and table on the deck where we enjoyed dinner and watching golfers. We all voted this the best vrbo and are planning another trip back to Apple Valley. Can't even think of anything else this place could have provided that would make it any better. Thank you!!!!

This property was even better than described by the owner. My husband and I travel a lot for work and pleasure and this was truly one of the best we have stayed. The property was immaculately clean and the master bed was more comfortable than my own:). Mark was very responsive and thorough with check in instructions.

Happy Valley
This home in Apple Valley is a treasure. So completely remodeled and furnished it looks and feels like a brand new home. The owner had welcoming gifts and notes, ideas for activities and recommendations. The communication with him was wonderful. The home is immaculate, with added touches in every room. The kitchen is truly equipped with everything you need. The deck has a gas fire pit and grill. The view of the golf course is beautiful, peaceful and serene. This is easily the best experience we have had in renting homes and highly recommend it.

Perfect getaway home
This is a great property: directly on the golf course along a quiet side street, the spacious layout and high-end amenities are more than enough to recommend it without reservation. However, the overall peace of mind that comes with top-notch communication and thoughtful attention on the part of the owner might be even more important. I selfishly wish I could keep this a secret, but the quality of the experience deserves to be shared. Highly recommended!

Enjoy a peaceful getaway with luxury accommodations
Our experience was outstanding! The owners made us feel extremely welcome from the initial contact to the last day of our stay. They thought of everything. The home is beautiful. It has a lovely open concept family room and kitchen, perfect for families or friends. They have state of the art technology in every room. Our favorite luxury was the fireplace in the master bedroom. Just a push of a button and you had a gentle fire to enjoy while you curled up in bed or read a book in the lounge chairs. The dartboard also provided to be a family favorite. The location is quite peaceful, which we appreciated given our normal hectic work life. It’s also close enough to Mount Vernon so you can get anything you need. We highly recommend the property to any Kenyon families. We just wish we had discovered it when our son was a freshman!
