The house was accurately described and clean. It was perfect for our needs, which was a reunion of Kenyon College baseball players. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was that the internet was slow and buffered a lot which made it frustrating and difficult to watch college football. Also, the TV, which is a large, nice flat screen, is an accident risk, and needs to be mounted on the wall to prevent it from falling off the mantle on top of someone.

House was fun to look through and the kitchen was awesome to cook in. Many thoughtful supplies were provided and the home was clean. Once we got up the bumpy driveway, the parking was workable for our three vehicles. We were expecting to enjoy water activity, but the river isn't conveniently accessible. There is a big walking trail we saw on our way in and could have tried. We mostly just enjoyed experiencing the roomy and interesting house and private yard and sitting by the campfire for the couple days we were there. Some of the old doors function. The small hot tub advertised isn't operational. We knew the upstairs bedrooms run hot in the summer so we brought fans, but there were some provided ready to use. Our family heartily approves this choice.

We had a wonderful experience at the Country Boho! The house was clean and well stocked. It is a historic home with lots of interesting details. The views and outdoor spaces are very relaxing. The house is on a hill and is very private. We had a terrific thunderstorm that added to the adventure. 5 minute drive to Kenyon. The trail is very close as well.

We just loved, loved, loved this place. It was one of the best places we have stayed thus far. The host was excellent, responsive and available (when needed). Truth be told, we didn't need anything. It has a brand new propane bar-b-que; a wonderful fire pit - with wood that was supplied for us to use; plenty of rooms all with King size beds. Although I used one of the twin beds because I don't like a soft matress. The twin was just right. It has a huge stove, a large dining room and family room. I could go on, and on but all I really want to say is, Yes, I most definately would rent again.Thank you Sarah!

Two keys to this property, (1) property is beautiful and (2) it’s a large 5-6 bedroom home! Bottom line it has a lot of nice features but in many cases they’re a little rough around the edges. Both the gas and charcoal grills are not useable in present condition. There’s an older Viking range that’s a tad rough. To be fair the main gathering area is very nice with a nice fireplace. The views are great, saw a couple Eagles perched above the house one morning.

The hosts were welcoming, communicative, and provided so many extras to enhance our stay, the kitchen is very well equipped.Bedrooms and bathrooms are clean, lovely and very comfortable. However, for a large group, the hot tub is quite small, and we did wish that the outdoor area provided more space and seating to sit around the fire.That being said, it is a beautiful area and we would definitely go back.

Hi Ruth, thanks so much for the stay! When you rented we hadn't even got the hot tub so not sure why the complaint about that or the 8/10 star review since it seemed like you liked it. It's a four person hot tub, not a six or eight. We just spent a lot of time and effort setting it up and hope folks will be able to enjoy as we try to make our BnB better and better. We also gave you family a huge discount on the place and left 3 packs of firewood, bought drinks for you to have and did a lot of extras! Hope you enjoyed! Thanks for the review!

Family Time

We wanted a place with room, inside and out, to connect with family. Staying here checked all the boxes! Close enough to get needed essentials, but felt like we were in our own little world on top of the hill! Communication with hosts was top notch!
