Great place to stay

This rental was excellent for a group of friends to get together for a relaxing weekend away. Lots of space and things to do. Only complaint we have is the cleanliness and organization of items in the house. There were dirty dishes in the sink and the dishwasher when we arrived and the grill needed a good cleaning. Other than that, the house was a great place to stay for a bigger group. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful lake house

We had a relaxing, outstanding long weekend during our stay! The beach is a short walk away. We played volleyball and swam in the lake. Even though the lake is close, the house is nestled in the woods and you feel removed from busy-ness! Highly recommend.

Home away from home

We enjoyed our stay very much! We especially appreciated the “extras” that we didn’t have to worry about bringing , like kitchen tools, gadgets, and condiments in the fridge and the “extra” pillows and blankets in all the bedrooms. The home was very clean and well taken care of and communication with the owner was very organized and timely. Also, they were flexible with our check in/out schedule . We would definitely stay again and highly recommend!!

Exactly what you want and more.

The stay I had there with several friends was excellent, the property provided everything we could possibly need. It has plenty of sleeping space and was VERY spacious, seven grown men in all and this place never felt crowded.(we ran into bad weather so we spent a good amount of time inside) All of my expectations were met and exceeded. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and would definitely stay there again.

Another wonderful visit!

This was our second visit to this lovely home. It has been the perfect location during our Family Weekend visits to Kenyon College. The house is well-appointed and the large couch in the living room is great for hanging out. The home is large with plenty of space to spread out. The home is surrounded by trees which are beautiful during the fall. We love watching the little chipmunks racing around on the deck! Rhonda is a wonderful host and extremely responsive to any questions or needs during your stay.

Great getaway spot

We loved our stay! A beautiful house, comfortable lodgings. Do note that even though the listing says the house sleeps 14, there are only beds for 10 (as detailed later in the listing). The host let us know there was a queen air mattress available, but two of us just ended up sleeping on couches (which were still comfortable). The pool table and TVs were great. The kitchen has everything we needed.

Beautiful Home

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. It was the perfect place to gather with family from across the country. The couches and chairs are so comfy! The home is in such a beautiful community and the beautiful fall weather just added to the beauty. We loved watching the chipmunks dart across the deck gathering their winter supply of nuts. We were so grateful for your flexibility with our check-out time. It was so nice to be able to linger in your home instead of an uncomfortable airport waiting area. Thank you! We would love to stay here again!

Perfect spot!

We enjoyed our stay, and would definitely come back! We had expected a fifth person, but as it worked out, it was just two couples sharing the space. One used one of the upstairs bedroom and bath, the other used the other upstairs bedroom, and the downstairs bath. We did not get to use the deck or firepit, but they both look great!

About the host

Hosted by Rhonda Watt

Fulltime RN, married, mother of 2 awesome and active boys. Hubby is retired National Guardsman and currently works for the State of Ohio in Corrections. The boys keep us busy with hockey, lacrosse and theater. We haven't been able to use the cottage as much as we would like because of schedules but plan on moving from Westerville to Apple Valley once the youngest graduates from high school.

Why they chose this property

The property was purchased with military reenlistment bonus earned while husband was serving in Iraq. Scrimped and saved until we had enough that my brother could build this family cottage. We have hosted many friends and family members. Current schedules keep us away more than we would like but we feel like as soon as the high school junior graduates we will move to Apple Valley from nearby Westerville.
