What a fantastic place!! The house itself is spacious and comfortable. We had 9 adults and more than enough space. The pond area was so much fun, as was the arcade! We stayed there to visit Buckeye Lake but could have spent the weekend never leaving this place.

Fun property

Very fun property! They even left us some cookies and snacks to start our stay. It is in need of a little TLC, but overall very nice, clean, and I would recommend.

Beautiful house! Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen. The pond was so much fun for the kids and adults! We also really enjoyed the gym in the basement and the arcade games. There was plenty of space for our big family. The host is responsive. Excellent stay! Highly recommend.

The house is nice and open. There is 5 bedrooms that sleeps 10 people and the living room has a pull out couch. The house was clean.The kitchen could use a few more plates and silverware.

Great home and property for a group or large family. Fantastic kitchen fully stocked with everything you need. Games and workout equipment were a hit. Nice outdoor grill provided for cooking. Pond and property were fantastic for fun and family time. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Communication was quick and responsive. Property could use some tlc. General cleaning was ok. Some areas needed more attention. Overall great experience.
