Needs some fix up
Overall, this could be a great place. After I read a past review had trouble with the hot tub, I checked this right at check in...sure enough...cold and not cleaned. The display on it was flashing on and off. I called the management company as they had requested I do at check in and the person taking my call said she's have to have someone call me back. No one ever did. As I continued looking at it, the side wood panel was off the surround of the hot tub, the electrical panel inside had been opened, and the electrical panel on the side of the house that went to the hot tub was open as well. So it obviously had been down awhile and no one let me know this wouldn't be available. Once we settled in that night, we found that the air hockey table didn't produce air, the water heater down there had a panel off and laying on the floor, neither ice maker in either fridge worked, and there was an unfinished ceiling patch in the second building. The place otherwise is well represented by the pictures they have. The cleaning team does do a good job.

Chill Bachelorette Party
We booked this property for a chill bachelorette party. We wanted plenty of space to spread out, play games and be comfortable. The property was clean, well taken care of and comfortable! The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and utensils for us to use when cooking up meals. We will definitely be staying here again! And would definitely recommend it as the place to stay for a large group!

Enjoyable location
Overall this was a great location for a short stay, and spending quality time with family. A few amenities were lacking. Discovered upon arrival that Wi-Fi would be unavailable which prevented smart tvs from working. The air hockey paddles are slightly damaged and there are no bean bags for the cornhole set. Those minor items aside, we enjoyed the location, exploring around the lake, and utilizing the fire pit. The customer service staff were very nice during checkin and checkout.

Great property!
The host was very quick to reply to questions, the property was really nice as advertised, and it was a great space for many people (we had 11 in our party). I have 0 complaints as everything went very smoothly. We did not have enough time to explore around the area much during our trip, but it seemed like a quaint area.

Good for any event happening at Ohio University or going to Hocking Hills. Secluded, great location and plenty of room for the party of 10 we had. Liked using the garage below for games and having fun. Buildings were very clean. Yes, a couple of the buildings are a little out dated but who cares. If you want expensive things then pay for expensive place. We loved it here and would definitely go back!!

Functional and good for a large group
I got this property because I needed some extra space and the description of a lake setting was very appealing. It worked and we had a very nice cookout for a graduation celebration with family and friends. In the end it was functional and we had a pleasant time. However, while it was clean and the furnishings were ok, the houses and entire property are very rundown. The hot tub appeared to be clean, but the cover was completely busted and extremely heavy from water that was inside the plastic exterior. There was also a 2x6 holding up the cover. This was totally unacceptable and I am so thankful that I had not planned on using the hot tub. I was also disappointed that the lakes were not closer and more part of the view. The real view is really just a lot of concrete. While it is near a lake, that is secondary to the yard and extensive paved area with lots and lots of cement block borders. Had I been staying on the property extensively, I would not have been happy. For the quick weekend with most of the time spent in neighboring OU campus, it was ok.
