This house and the hostess, Rachel, exceeded our expectations! So beautiful and plenty of room for the 6 of us. LOVED the wraparound deck with plenty of seating wherever we went. Beds were all comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed. Firepit was great, hot tub was warm and clean. We contacted Rachel once about the thermostat and she immediately got back to us and solved the problem. Just a fantastic experience!!!

Attic "bedroom" should not be considered a bedroom. No closet, no privacy, challenging access.

The house is beautiful inside and out, and very private, surrounded by lots of trees. We also had a family of deer keeping an eye on us while we were there.

The Perfect House!
We rented this beautiful house for my son's graduation from Kenyon college. We traveled with my in-laws and daughter. There was plenty of room where everyone could have their own space and bathrooms. The house is gorgeous! Great hot tub, grill, pizza oven, ping pong, and other games. We had a fantastic time!

Amazing Acute A Frame!!!
This property was fantastic! The location was super convenient with lots to do nearby, and it was close to the university. The place itself was modern, clean, and really comfortable. The host was friendly and helpful, always quick to respond. Plus, the amenities were great – we had everything we needed. The house served as the perfect backdrop for all the incredible memories that were made there for me and my family! Highly recommend this spot!

Amazing new Aframe
We had the best stay at Acute Frame last weekend! There were 10 of us (4 adults and 6 kids) and we had an absolute blast. The Aframe is brand new and beautifully furnished. Beds were comfortable- even the Nest at the top! The kids loved playing ping pong, hanging in the swinging chair, exploring outside and playing cards. An added bonus was that the house had hand weights for our workout! House fit all of us comfortably and it had everything we needed for a great stay! Fantastic location and would highly recommend this house!
