In the converted gazebo with solar string lights, maybe you’d like to grill and dine at the table. If you’re feeling a little more active, take advantage of the numerous yard/outdoor games located in the gazebo (Connect Four, Jenga, Ladder Ball, Spike Ball, or Corn Hole)

Weekend Family Trip

Our family rented this house for our weekend trip to attend Quarter Horse Congress in Columbus, Ohio. The location was quiet and had easy access to the interstate. The house was very clean and was very well stocked with everything we needed. The property owner had great communication with us. We would definitely book this house again for future trips to the area.

Throughout the time leading up to our stay, we had great communication. So much thought into what people will need was put into the amenities. Along with helpful binders, thoughtful touches of welcome like snacks were included. Games, rooms to relax, fire pits, and outdoor spaces are all perfect for fun together.

Perfect for our family vacation week!

Three generations - we have been vacationing together for 17 years- this house made us feel like we were at home and on vacation at the same time! So very welcoming, very responsive to questions, and helpful for exploring the area. The house was clean and very well supplied. It’s a cottage; small and quaint, but room for our family of seven. We loved the outdoor spaces. Inside a smaller privacy fenced area, we had a dining area, a fire pit, a hot tub, yard games, and more. We bicycled, explored, swam and kayaked at the lake, and enjoyed some local restaurants. Communication with the hosts was easy. Highly recommend!

The owners were easy to contact and sweet as can be. The house is close to everything, including boat ramps, we brought our kyacks and watched the sunset from the water. Highly recommended this property.

Great place for a family get together.

We had a fun and relaxing long weekend at Kelly's place. The place is roomier that the photos suggest. We really enjoyed the privacy in the yard. The fire pits and gazebo were a big hit. We really appreciated all the little things Kelly provided to make us feel welcome; fresh cookies, extra toiletries in case we forgot anything, treats and towels for doggies. There were also plenty of games both inside and out to keep us entertained. Oh I didn't even mention that is just a short walk to a great path along a beautiful lake.
