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. ##### HEATHER C. Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Terry H. Jul 14, 2025 Liked: Check-in, location #### Not what we had hoped for... Location was very good for our needs. space adequate. primary house fairly clean, although no recent upkeep. Hot tub appeared to be leaking so we didn't touch it. Outside furniture pretty sad and bedraggled. window sills and siding had areas of rotted wood. Duplex is really a garage or pole building with rooms built in., without lowered ceilings .Leaking water in duplex, reported first day. said someone would come out. never addressed. we kept sopping up with extra towels. One bathroom illegally small. Mice droppings in kitchen drawers. (so we didn't use those kitchens. )2 beds needed repair. bedding very worn. outside property weedy near house. Grounds were lovely although appeared unsafe with an old bridge leading into water. Whole estate needs a good overhaul to make for a more pleasant experience. Very narrow driveway if you have a large vehicle. ##### Terry H. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### TAYLOR H. Jul 9, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Rental Needs Some Work We had a mixed experience with this rental. On the one hand the hosts were very responsive to our questions, and answered them all quickly and thoroughly, and that was very nice! However, there were many other factors that impacted our experience, such as only half of the grill lit, making the food take a lot longer to prepare for our large group. The hot tub was also only half full, cold, and the jets didn't work-- they did send someone out on the 4th of July to try and repair it, which we appreciated! but it still did not work despite two maintenance men coming. The listing also indicated there would be a space large enough for all 12 of our guests to eat together, but that was only the case if we were across the three separate kitchen areas, there was no place we could all gather together comfortably without someone sitting on the floor. A few of the mattresses were low quality and slept like a deflating air mattress. One of the steps on the bunk bed was broken, making it a hazard. There were also some gaps and holes in the flooring in one of the houses, which we found out because someone twisted their ankle falling into one. The basement also had a LOT of spiders, so that area was not accessible to us. Additionally, one of the kitchens in the secondary house had what seemed to be large roach droppings in one of the drawers and under the sink. None of the garbage disposals worked, and 2 of the 3 kitchen sinks clogged. This rental needs some updating and maintenance ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bf087b81-bf4e-478a-8296-4d42840ac5e1-1752076542615.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### TAYLOR H.

Rented this “compound” as we like to call it for OU graduation! It’s a great area and the houses sleep a lot of people! We did have a flash flooding event with ended up with our sons car being under water up to the bumper! Then he fell into the overflowing drainage culvert and the water was over his head. He was pretty scraped up and freaked out but is ok! It could have been really bad. Do NoT park on the lower part of the property if there is a lot of rain! ##### Chris P.

Nov 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication #### 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. ##### Ryan F.

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. ##### Marik R.

I would 100%recommend this! ##### Kenneth R. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Hanna B.

Was close enough to drive to things so it isn't bad drive but far enough away to avoid THE OU graduation traffic ##### Hanna B. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monty S. Nov 23, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location!! Would definitely go back. 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!! ##### Monty S. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marwan A.

We were riding Windy 9 and the garage was large enough for all cycles to remain indoors. The place was super clean. Will come back again, highly recommended! ##### Marwan A.

My only issue is that the hot tub was broken but was still listed in the title, ##### Joshua F. Stayed 3 nights in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Don M. May 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Don M.
