This place was outstanding. The amenities, decor, setting and accommodations were wonderful. We had an awesome family gathering, utilizing the firepit (with the lights....loved them), playing cards at the beautiful dining room table and enjoying the variety of beverages left for us. Some of us even hiked down the the creek! Thank you for providing such a fabulous place for us to share great family fellowship!

Clean, well stocked, large kitchen. House has lots of rooms which was great for different family members to visit without being on top of each other. Outside decks were fabulous. The fire pit was a highlight as was the location to the nature trail.

The property was exceptionally beautiful. And the house, and especially the kitchen, was very well equipped- though FINDING some kitchen items became something of an adventure. Krissie, the property manager, was very responsive even when an unfortunate plumbing situation popped up- as was the property owner. Certainly highly recommend this property, including the manager.

Great Stay

Had an amazing quiet getaway at Salt Run Retreat. The whole house is extremely clean and is stocked with everything you need. The 3 levels of decks are all enclosed so my pup really enjoyed running around free to check out the sights. There are great walking trails right off the back of the property and it is very peaceful. The kitchen was great for cooking meals and there was plenty of room to spread out if you have a large group. I will definitely be back!

Wonderful, welcoming house

We came into town for a swim meet and really enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and well-equipped. It is a beautiful home that sits in the woods on the edge of a nature preserve and we really enjoyed the privacy and woodland setting. It’s also very close to Denison and downtown Granville, so an easy commute to the aquatic center. We would stay here again. It’s a great place for a larger group and there was plenty of space for both adults and kids.

A Slice of Solitude

Wow! This home was immaculate, roomy, and beautiful. Hands down, it provided more amenities than we have ever experienced in a rental. Our group of seven fully enjoyed walking through the woods, chatting around the fire pit, and enjoying scrumptious meals in the well stocked, fully functional kitchen. We LOVED our time at Salt Run Summ, and hope to return one day!

A perfect weekend stay

This was, by far, the most beautiful house we have ever stayed in. The property and the interior of the home were gorgeous. The inside of the house has a fully equipped kitchen, lots of places to gather (including a screened porch, perfect for a long rainy day), and the furniture and art make it feel like a home, not a full-time rental property (which it is not). We cooked together and found all of the equipment we needed, including a rice cooker, good pots and pans, and knives that are actually sharp.The beds and bedding were comfortable, there was lots of parking, and we had plenty of room to spread out. This is a perfect place to meet up with old friends for a few days.

Tranquil and Well Equipped

This was a perfect place for our friends getaway weekend! This home truly had everything you could possible need and was so comfortable and cozy! It’s obvious the owners lived in and loved this home before opening it up to others to enjoy. We enjoyed hiking the trails that started from the edge of the driveway. Only suggestion would be to have copies of the trail map for visitors to take with them. We truly enjoyed every minute and appreciated the well equipped kitchen and other rooms.

Beautiful home

Absolutely wonderful! The house was even better than the pictures! The entire property was incredibly clean! The secluded location allowed for peaceful nights. One day it rained the entire day and the season room off the back of the house allowed us to sit and enjoy the cool weather without getting wet! A masterful home. The home is split up just enough so you are not all on top of each other but can all hang out any time you want. The welcome binder gave specific instructions and came with a small letter from the owners. Definitely recommend this property!
