Weekend Family Trip
Our family rented this house for our weekend trip to attend Quarter Horse Congress in Columbus, Ohio. The location was quiet and had easy access to the interstate. The house was very clean and was very well stocked with everything we needed. The property owner had great communication with us. We would definitely book this house again for future trips to the area.

Perfect for our family vacation week!
Three generations - we have been vacationing together for 17 years- this house made us feel like we were at home and on vacation at the same time! So very welcoming, very responsive to questions, and helpful for exploring the area. The house was clean and very well supplied. It’s a cottage; small and quaint, but room for our family of seven. We loved the outdoor spaces. Inside a smaller privacy fenced area, we had a dining area, a fire pit, a hot tub, yard games, and more. We bicycled, explored, swam and kayaked at the lake, and enjoyed some local restaurants. Communication with the hosts was easy. Highly recommend!

Already planning to come back!
Certainly one of the best properties we've stayed at in regard to amenities, comfort, and welcoming feel. We enjoyed the treats on arrival. It had all the little things you could need, but in a clean, well organized, and planned way rather than feeling cluttered. There were so many little activities in the house and backyard that the amount of time we spent at the house compared to the lake was more than we planned. That being said, the lake is only about two blocks away and within a 10 minute walk there are multiple restaurants and places to sit for a drink. Multiple places seemed to have live music playing from lunch time to bed time every day we were there, though they were far enough from the cottage it still felt very peaceful in our backyard. We are already trying to find another weekend when the cottage is free to come back!

Everything we needed
This house was a delight for us and groomsmen to stay at for our son's wedding. We had to adjust who was in what house because the upstairs bathroom of this house was in the queen bedroom. Therefore it wasn't going to work for mixed company but we switched to all groomsmen with us and it was perfect. Everything we needed was available. I even made 4 dozen cupcakes for the rehearsal dinner in the kitchen. The young men loved the outdoor area, the games, and the grill. We enjoyed riding bikes along the lake path and walking it as well. Kelly was very quick to respond to questions and very pleasant to visit with. We highly recommend this house!

Great place for a family get together.
We had a fun and relaxing long weekend at Kelly's place. The place is roomier that the photos suggest. We really enjoyed the privacy in the yard. The fire pits and gazebo were a big hit. We really appreciated all the little things Kelly provided to make us feel welcome; fresh cookies, extra toiletries in case we forgot anything, treats and towels for doggies. There were also plenty of games both inside and out to keep us entertained. Oh I didn't even mention that is just a short walk to a great path along a beautiful lake.

Amazing get away with the grandkids
We booked this cottage for a two night stay with our grandchildren ranging in age from 2 to 20. What a surprise to find the cottage was perfect for our group. In addition to the hot tub there were numerous activities to keep the kids busy. The air hockey was a favorite with several tournaments being played. The fire pit and the basket of s more goodies was greatly enjoyed. Having stayed at quite a few VRBO s over the years I must say the hosts provided every possible amenity. From plenty of towels and a well stocked kitchen we had everything we needed. Many extras such as body wash, laundry soap, bug spray, sanitizer, and coffee, sugar and spices were an unexpected surprise. We had a great couple of days and would definitely book again.
