Beautiful Stay for Kenyon Family Weekend
Our family enjoyed a beautiful stay at Brenda's Artistic Retreat! This was by far the cleanest property we have ever experienced. The kitchen was a dream and wonderful for making a homecooked meal for our Kenyon student, The beds were truly comfortable, the spacious shower was fantastic, and we all wanted to bring the couches home with us. :) There was a gorgeous view of the lake from the deck-the perfect place for morning coffee. Thank you for a relaxing and worry-free weekend!

We loved our stay at Apple Valley. The house was in a great location, and we could see the lake from the front porch. The unit was clean and had lots of space for our family to sleep and spread out.

I would say that this listing is 100% accurate, but it's actually understated. I've stayed in many vacation properties and am usually quite satisfied. However, this stay was exceptional. Beautifully appointed, meticulously kept, full of relaxing, energy and kindly managed. It will not disappoint

Great property and owner was fantastic!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this VRBO property. Brenda was fantastic to work with. Only issue was that there were no washcloths provided. Thankfully we brought a few with us just in case as we weren't sure they would be available. This home was completely renovated recently and immaculately clean. You will not be disappointed!

Amazing Host, Beautiful Property
Brenda was the best host we have ever had. She was great at communicating with us, and just one of the sweetest people we have ever met. I would rent from her anytime! We’ve stayed at other places in Apple Valley and they don’t even compare to this one. The view was beautiful, and the inside of the property is stunning. We had 4 adults and 4 kids and had plenty of space for all of us. The home was stocked with everything we needed and it was so clean! We will definitely be coming back! Thank you, Brenda!!!

Great location near lake and front entrance of Apple Valley
Great location near lake and front entrance of Apple Valley- owner had great communication and even purchased us a new charcoal grill for use while there. Price vs amenities and spaces of house are great. Downstairs living area would be great for kids separate from upstairs or two families sharing the house. Highly recommend!!

Charming community for a getaway
We had a lovely and reinvigorating visit. The house was clean and pleasant and good for a larger group of mostly adults as it had many bedrooms. The kitchen was large and good for preparing large meals in. The neighborhood was nice for walks. Some of us went to nearby golf course, which was also good. A great place for a group getaway.

Girls weekend getaway
Thanks Brenda for a beautiful spot to spend some relaxing time with friends. What a wonderful location. We spent most of our time in the spacious open kitchen/dining area and on the porch over looking the lake. The space was perfect for the 8 of us. Thanks for providing everything we needed to just relax and enjoy each other's company. We hope to make a return trip soon.

Great reunion of friends
This property looked brand new and was beautifully maintained. We stayed there instead of in the dorms for our 45th college reunion. The house was perfect for us. Great indoor and outdoor space for chatting. We'd book again in a heartbeat if Brenda is still VRBO'ing her home, when we come back in 5 years for the big 5-0.

We loved our stay in Apple Valley!
We loved our stay in Apple Valley! This was our first time using VRBO. The host was very responsive and kind. The house was very clean and had everything we needed and more! The updated interior was both beautiful and comfortable. I enjoyed the local artists work displayed throughout the home-such a nice touch! Plenty of extra blankets including throw blankets in the living room. Although we only stayed a weekend I miss drinking my coffee with a view of the lake. Highly recommend!

Don’t question it just book it!
This stay, the property and even Brenda were absolutely phenomenal. Firstly, I have a service dog and I loved that this property is pet friendly. They have dog treats, dog poop bags, and even a bin to throw away any dog waste that you have outside. This small but personal detail made such a big difference to me. Secondly, the place was so clean!! The place is decorated so beautifully and modern, but yet so welcoming and warm. The location was phenomenal in the sense that it is quiet, peaceful, right near the lake, and close to a private beach in the neighborhood. The neighbors were so friendly. My husband and I loved our morning walks and getting to explore the views. Check-in was so smooth and Brenda was so sweet enough to let us check in earlier since we were traveling for 8 hours. Communication with her was smooth and easy. She is so friendly and answered any questions that we had. We had originally went to Ohio for a wedding and not completely excited about our stay, but yet we ended up loving it and not wanting to leave. The house is stocked with olive oil, salt, pepper, all the spices you would need, and Brenda even supplied a spring glass bottle of water for us. All the dishes, pots, pans, & everything was super clean. The deck has a direct view to the lake and some patio furniture so you can sit out and enjoy it! I cannot emphasize enough how much we loved staying here. Thank you Brenda for being such an amazing host and allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!

Perfect Getaway
I planned a girls' weekend/yoga retreat with 4 of my friends this past weekend and stayed here. The house was immaculate and beautifully decorated. It definitely had the spa-like feel we were looking for with plenty of room to spread out and do yoga. The bedrooms were good sizes and the beds were comfortable. The property manager was very responsive to questions before and during our stay. The view of the lake was perfection. If it had been just a little less windy and a little warmer, we would have spent more time on the deck! The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals and plenty of seating. I can't say enough good things about this property. We are alrady planning another trip!

Wonderful Rental!!!
This property is gorgeous, and we are so pleased that we were able to stay here for our weekend in Mount Vernon! It has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms with plenty of space for our family with 2 teens / young adults to spread out! I was surprised though that even with having space to get away from their parents, our teens chose to play the board games that were available on the second night plus, on the third night, they chose to watch a movie together upstairs! ❤️ The second morning, the boys even made the girls breakfast in the fully stocked and gorgeous kitchen! This home was perfect for our weekend! Thank you!
