Golf Getaway

Perfect house for a short golf trip at Apple Valley. They have tiny condos right next to the golf course that are actually higher in price than this roomy house right on the 3rd fairway. Will definitely look to book this house next year, as all the fellas enjoyed the house and the golf course.

Fantastic Place to Stay

The pictures showed the house "fantastically." It is a wonderful place to stay. The view from the deck(s) and the patios overlooking the golf course is beautiful. But it's not just the awesome house. The hosts paid attention to details, personalizing our stay and it was the little details that made our stay extra nice!

We had a wonderful stay at the Ranch at Fairway Three. The host did an excellent job communicating throughout the process and ensuring our stay was perfect. The house was spacious and comfortable and set up with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The decor is updated with plenty of seating options, both indoors and outdoors. We enjoyed eating at local restaurants in Mt. Vernon and hiking nearby trails. We hope to be back again soon! Thank you, Mark, for making our stay so memorable!

Fantastic Property

We always enjoy staying at this location. We have stayed here the last three years while visiting Kenyon College and I am sure this is one of the best in the area. The owners play attention to every detail and the house is extremely well kept and nicely renovated. I would highly recommend this house for anyone looking to stay in the Mount Vernon / Gambier area. You won't be disappointed.

Reunion

Property was beautiful. House was very clean and anything that was needed was provided. Only issue I had was the bedding. Pillows were not comfortable (everyone has different desire in fluffy/hard). Maybe a variety of each would have been better.

Perfect Home away from Home

This property was even better than described by the owner. My husband and I travel a lot for work and pleasure and this was truly one of the best we have stayed. The property was immaculately clean and the master bed was more comfortable than my own:). Mark was very responsive and thorough with check in instructions.

Perfect getaway home

This is a great property: directly on the golf course along a quiet side street, the spacious layout and high-end amenities are more than enough to recommend it without reservation. However, the overall peace of mind that comes with top-notch communication and thoughtful attention on the part of the owner might be even more important. I selfishly wish I could keep this a secret, but the quality of the experience deserves to be shared. Highly recommended!

Best house ever!!

This is a beautifully appointed home with very comfortable beds! I was a little hesitant because we were visiting our son at Kenyon and we felt this was a little far but it's perfect. The home is situated in a way that you're unaware of anything around you and you just focus on the incredible views and the fantastic gas fire place and the wonderful time spent with family. It's very roomy and the kitchen is very well equipped. We'll definitely be booking here again.

Girls golf weekend best vrbo on the course

Exceptional property, everything seemed brand new. Very clean with fluffy towels and linens. Kitchen had all the extras we needed, coffee maker, toaster, and cutlery. Grill on the patio and table on the deck where we enjoyed dinner and watching golfers. We all voted this the best vrbo and are planning another trip back to Apple Valley. Can't even think of anything else this place could have provided that would make it any better. Thank you!!!!

Happy Valley

This home in Apple Valley is a treasure. So completely remodeled and furnished it looks and feels like a brand new home. The owner had welcoming gifts and notes, ideas for activities and recommendations. The communication with him was wonderful. The home is immaculate, with added touches in every room. The kitchen is truly equipped with everything you need. The deck has a gas fire pit and grill. The view of the golf course is beautiful, peaceful and serene. This is easily the best experience we have had in renting homes and highly recommend it.
