About this property

Welcome to Canary Cottage, located on the northeast corner of the lake (the "high" side) overlooking rolling waves and stunning water views. Only a few houses back from the water. Plus, with only a short walk to waterfront restaurants and Papa Boos, you'll have everything you need right at your fingertips.

This home has been renovated with an effort to preserve the original fishing cottage charm. The first floor features a luxurious walk-in shower and a relaxing soaking tub. Just off the front deck is a hot tub for ultimate relaxation. The outdoor space also boasts a fire table and patio furniture, making it the perfect spot to enjoy the serene surroundings. Upstairs, you'll find three cozy bedrooms with a king, queen, and two twin beds, all equipped with ROKU TVs and comfortable memory foam mattresses. The cottage also offers a renovated kitchen, dining space, bathroom, and laundry on the first floor. Please note, this property has limited parking space for up to four cars on an incline, so a four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive vehicle is recommended for snowy or icy conditions. The property is also on a well with a Kinetico filtration system.

We are always a phone call, text, or message away. We do have 24 hour maintenance for repairs and issues as well.

Late check out (12:30pm) and Early check in (2pm) available upon request for $65.

Pets welcome with a $65 cleaning fee.

Canary Cottage is something to chirp about

Great experience. Proximity to Buckeye Lake was overestimated. Only way it could take 6 minutes is if I crawled home from Boo's. Would certainly rent the place again, and bring Mom, Dad, and dog with me!

Family Vacation To Buckeye Lake

All in all we really enjoyed our time at this VRBO. The hot tub was great and you can tell well cared for - we used it multiple times a day during our trip. The hands-down best part was the amenities for children. The train table, highchair, crib and baby gate made the stay very family-friendly.

Disappointing Stay

My family and I arrived to a mess. There were dead bugs, horrible smells, animal urine, feces, unclean items, and areas. We spent two days cleaning just to feel comfortable in the space. It was that bad. We were thankful to have a laundry room to help with dirty bedding and towels. I would not return to this rental. This house is in dire need of a deep clean, replacement of items, and a remodel.

Spacious home in a convenient location

Spacious home on a relatively private neighborhood lot. All the basic amenities were included. Smart TVs in all the bedrooms and living room. A comfortable home for a family stay, and our family includes our 3 small dogs.The host was accommodating of our furry friends, only a modest pet fee was added. Nice outdoor space with a large yard on one side of the home, and a deck with hot tub plus parking on the other. The property is near, but not on the lake. But you can see it from the driveway. Overall, a great value for the price!

Needs Maintenance

You can tell this property was once nice, but it is in desperate need of maintenance. The hot tub lid was ripped, there was trash sitting around outside, the outdoor furniture was unusable, broken and moldy. The hot tub had clearly not been cleaned, there was a lot of dirt and debris at the bottom, we did not get in. The inside was pretty clean but it needs a deep clean. The window seals have not been cleaned in years a thick layer of dust and dirt were caked on. The stairs were covered in dog hair and dirt, especially the white edge going up. I did not feel comfortable not wearing shoes inside. comforters all needed washed, sheets were clean but good thing we brought our own blankets because there was not even a top sheet on the master bed. The water smells really bad, I get its near a lake but I think the well needs shocked. There were some positives, our kids loved the train table and the toys. The back yard was nice, we spent a lot of our time in the back. It was within walking distance to a few restaurants. You definitely can't see the lake from this home, like advertised. Expensive for what you get.

Family weekend trip

We booked this house for a weekend family trip. We traveled into Columbus each day for Quarter Horse Congress, and the house was very convenient to the interstate. We stopped each morning at the Buckeye Lake Coffee Company on the way to Columbus, and enjoyed their seasonal drinks. The location was quiet and within a short distance to shopping and restaurants. The communication with the host was great and it was a very easy check in and check out process. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We didn't get a chance to try out the hot tub on this trip. We did really appreciate the welcome basket! There was only one bathroom downstairs and as others have stated, the staircase is very narrow - so my grandmother slept in the living room on the lower level. There was plenty of space for just the four of us. We were happy to have found this rental and hope this community continues to allow rentals in the future.

Good location, not great for tall people.

Good location. Close proximity to the lake and Papa Boo’s. Kids loved the hot tub. Plenty of room for all of us (4 adults and 3 kids). If you’re tall, though, this may not be the house for you. I’m 6’7” and couldn’t stand up straight in the kitchen. Hit my head on low beams a couple times. One other member of our party is 6’5” and the the low beams got him a couple times as well. Just be aware that you’ll need to consistently duck your head in the kitchen area if you’re 6’4”+.

Nice home

Everything about the property was very nice. We had considered taking my 80 year old parents with us and am very glad we didn’t. All 3 bedrooms are up a very narrow staircase and the only bathroom is on the first floor off the kitchen at back of house. It was ok for us, although inconvenient. Everything else about the house was fine.

Family Weekend

My sister and her husband just recently moved to the area and my parents and I wanted to come and spend the weekend with them. Their new home is not big enough for all of us so we decided to rent a place close by so we could all be together under one roof. This property was perfect for just that! It was extremely clean and had all the necessary amenities. There are a couple restaurants within walking distance which would have been absolutely perfect but unfortunately they were closed for the season - would be great in the summertime! We will definitely try and rent this home again if it is available. Thank you so much to the host for your hospitality!
