Our daughter graduated from Kenyon College and it was just perfect for our visit! It was cozy, clean and well stocked. Every detail was thought through and Susan did a great job communicating with me! We are so happy we chose to stay at this home in the lake! ##### Laura G.

This house was perfect for the entire family. It was accessible for our grandparents with beautiful views of the lake and plenty to do. The owners were super responsive when we had a question. Highly recommended! ##### Beth S.

It gave us a chance to recharge as a family. Clean, quiet, and relaxful. The owners answered all questions timely, were accommodating, and pleasant. Hope to stay there again! ##### Craig E. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah A. Jun 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A great getaway! We vacationed with some friends of ours so we had 4 adults and 2 teenagers in the house. The size of the property and location were wonderful. We never felt like there wasnt enough room to have our own space, but it was also very quaint. The views from the porch were amazing, especially at Sunset. The owners were kind and quick to respond. We very much enjoyed our time at this property and hope to be able to come back again sometime soon. ##### Sarah A.
