About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Welcome to The Captain and Crew Quarters on Anchor Drive at Apple Valley Lake!

Thank you for choosing The Captain and Crew Quarters at Apple Valley Lake for your Knox County getaway. The whole lower level is yours to enjoy as well as the fenced-in pet friendly* back yard and the upper rear deck (access from lower rear level). This is not a shared home! The upstairs (main floor) consists of 4 commercial office space units (non-residential). You can expect very little activity upstairs on the weekends and weekday evenings. The entrance to the Quarters is located on the lower rear of the property. You follow the new, private, ADA compliant (no stairs) cement walkway/ramp located on the north side of the building (the side away from 36/Coshocton Rd facing Witt’s Frozen Custard/Subway) down the north side, through the new fence gate backyard entrance, and then follow the path to the lower back patio/entrance. It's a short walk with no stairs. We have spent well over a year on the interior and exterior of the lower level to prepare for your stay. Our goal was to have a very enjoyable space with modern and extra conveniences/comforts at an affordable price. This private property located in the front of Apple Valley is minutes to the Apple Valley Golf Course, Gambier and Kenyon College, Kokosing Camp and Canoe Livery, and walking distance to the Shell Gas Station, The Pub at Apple Valley, Apple Valley Lake, and of course Subway and Witt’s Frozen Custard is in the adjacent property right up the street on Anchor Drive. Knox and Coshocton counties also provide many other indoor and outdoor adventures outside of this immediate area that are just a short drive away. Many of those are listed in the booklet provided in the Quarters. We are a local family owner/operator of Knox County and hope you enjoy The Captain and Crew Quarters as much as we do.

*(Be sure to enter number of pets in reservation details - $50 fee per pet/per stay).

Great Weekend Getaway

Property is well maintained. Very clean and comfortable. The hosts were very responsive to any questions we had. Hot tub was great. We would definitely stay again. Only downside is that it is beside a main road so vehicle traffic is loud when outside, that wasn't an issue for us, just something to be aware of.

Convenient and Clean

Stayed here for a week with the family while in town for a Nationals Competition. Good location, clean, quick/easy check-in/out process and the Owners were nice/responsive. Hot tub was a plus, and all maintenance items were provided. Wasn't sure about sharing the house with commercial space upstairs but was never an issue. The kitchen layout was a bit awkward but provided the necessities. Missed not having a washer/dryer by the end of the week but overall a good option for a quick stay when in the area.

Perfection !!

Start to finish everything was wonderful. We visit Apple Valley at least once a year and plan to stay here each time. The property was very safe despite being on the main road. The tall fence provided the perfect amount of privacy in the yard for my toddler. Inside everything was exactly like the pictures and very spacious. Owners provided advance notice of check in instructions and promptly responded to my 2 questions about the hot tub during my stay. I have no negative feedback to provide, just a thank you!
