Alumni Reunion

We had a wonderful stay! The house is just as advertised and was beautiful. It was perfect for our group of six Kenyon alumni. It had everything we needed, was very clean, and the location is perfect for walking to everything on campus. The hosts were very responsive to questions and did a great job providing all the information we needed. I hope to return and stay here again in the future.

Perfect Kenyon weekend

We visited our daughter for the weekend and couldn’t be happier with this house. Conveniently located next to the Morgan apts and walking distance to everything on campus. The house was well stocked with everything we needed to host a team dinner too.

Perfect location for Kenyon visit

I stayed with my daughter and several of her classmates for a weekend when visiting for an alumni event. The house is spacious, nicely furnished, and in a fantastic location for visiting Kenyon College. Hosts were responsive and provided lots of good information both via text and in an on-site notebook. Fire pit was a lovely touch!

Great location, very nice property

We really enjoyed our stay. The property is on the edge of campus, so it's well located if you are attending an event at Kenyon College. Nice front porch, yard and fire pit that we made good use of during our Kenyon graduation weekend stay. House was clean and well stocked. One minor note if you are thinking of booking, though-- there are several cameras around the outside of the house that the owners indicated in their handbook are capable of watching and listening, coupled with a warning that activity inconsistent with their intended family atmosphere will lead to eviction from the property by the local authorities. We mostly ignored the cameras, and I get why the owners were concerned enough to install them because of the potential for abuse of the property given its location, but some guests might be bothered by this kind of monitoring (even if allowed by VRBO rules).

Kenyon gem

This is a wondeful farmhouse stay that's right on Kenyon campus. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms make it a prefect stay for family weekend or move in/out at Kenyon College. The host is very available and helpful. Great kitchen, great bathrooms and comfy beds.

Good location. Well kept. Would give it 5 stars but felt a lack of privacy. Owners have cameras in driveway and at entrance and let us know it right away. Camera at back door points into kitchen.
