Fun At the Family Oasis

We had a great time playing Cornhole and board games, plus had a fire one night to check out the stars! Plenty of space for 6 adults, with 3 bathrooms (when needed!). Really short drive to Holiday World and Splash-n-Safari!

Great family place

We had a wonderful stay with our family ranging from adulthood to infant. They had everything we needed and more. The only problem was the pictures with the listing show a bunk which we were hoping to have and they had a twin with a trundle. Which eorked out finebut would have preferred the bunk bed.worked out fine

Perfect Family Retreat

Invitingly comfortable accommodations awaited us as we arrived to this well appointed home. Inviting lights over the picnic area, welcome basket outfitted with all the fixings for smores as well as bug spray, firestarter block and lighter. Comfortable beds, inviting living room, roomy kitchen and 3 bathrooms for accommodations up to 10 were just what we needed for a family retreat to relax and enjoy being together. Games were provided in one of the bedroom closets as well as bag toss game for outdoor fun. WE greatly enjoyed our stay and the owner made us feel we were welcome guests. You can tell she put a lot of effort into making this home a retreat and not just a place to stay.

Cozy home with close proximity to Holiday World

We had a wonderful stay overall. Our first evening, we went down to Lincoln State Park and did some hiking/swimming. The next 2 days, we ventured to Holiday World, which was an extremely easy drive from this location. We had a group of 12 people, 5 adults/7 kids, and we comfortably fit in this house. It was wonderful to have the air mattress and pull out couch available to make it happen! Kitchen was also great and included everything we needed to prepare our meals. Only negative to this house was the location. On 2 different days, we had people wander onto the property and not say a word to us. We also awoke our 1st morning to find someone had vandalized/broken into a vending machine across the street. With several young kids in our group, we didn't always feel the safest here...

Nice but overpriced

Property is nice but not as nice as nightly rate plus fees would suggest. Two nights just under one thousand dollars. No way twelve people could sleep there comfortably. We filled the place with six adults and two small children. It wasn't as clean as one would expect. Windows, mirrors were dirty and house was dusty throughout. Lots of little things require maintenance, storm door doesn't close, deck sags, rocky area to walk on is trip hazard, promised wood for fire pit wasn't there, central air unit sounds like a jet plane starting up, grill ran out of propane during use, clothes washer wasn't available. . The house desparately needs some TLC.

Family vacation

We enjoyed the amenities and closeness to Holiday World. The children loved playing in the big yard. The kitty was an added bonus! Gas station next door was useful. The children were a little disappointed because in pictures it showed bunk beds, but there weren't any. Overall though, it was a great stay and fun trip for all!

Perfect Location for Lincoln Amphitheater

Our band played at Lincoln Amphitheater and needed a local stay for some of the band and crew. This worked perfectly for our needs. The venue was literally just a few minutes down the road. The owner was responsive, everything was clean and we had plenty of places for people to sleep. The kitchen had pots/pans/dishes for the quick breakfast we made. And my two teenagers were absolutely thrilled to find there was a cat on the property. If we come back to Lincoln City we would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Experience!

We greatly enjoyed our stay and loved working with Tonya as our host! The house was clean, it was a great location (especially to Holiday World where we vacationing), the beds were comfortable and we felt so welcomed. The only thing missing was an extra set of sheets for the pullout sofa, so make sure to bring an extra set!

Family reunion

The house was clean and well stocked. The air conditioner was VERY loud when it was running. Could not hear the small TV in living room at all when it was running. As a suggestion: one of our family members is in a handicap cart. We had to pick the cart up over the end of back deck and again into the house. It would not take much to make a ramp at the deck and at the back door. The house was no problem getting around in withe cart. Master shower was also accessible for the handicapped person. Over all, the home was very nice and close to Holiday World and the state park.

About the host

Hosted by Tonya Lynam

Host profile image
I'm the mother of 2 grown children and 3 beautiful grand babies. My day job is cyber/information security within the financial industry. I teach at a college level (management, operations, human resource, IT courses) once a week. I love to be with my family, boating, golfing, camping, hiking - basically anything active. Being outside brings me great joy.

Why they chose this property

I was raised near this property. My parents are just a few blocks away. It is a wonderful place to share with others. I lived away and moved back - just seeing the drive through Lincoln State Park is priceless. Holiday World, the Christmas Store, Santa's Stables are owned by people I know personally. My property is private. It offers a family environment but also great for friends to enjoy the outdoors together.

What makes this property unique

Large firepit, grill, indoor games, outdoor games, a tree swing, and covered picnic area.
