What a fantastic place!! The house itself is spacious and comfortable. We had 9 adults and more than enough space. The pond area was so much fun, as was the arcade! We stayed there to visit Buckeye Lake but could have spent the weekend never leaving this place.

Great home and property for a group or large family. Fantastic kitchen fully stocked with everything you need. Games and workout equipment were a hit. Nice outdoor grill provided for cooking. Pond and property were fantastic for fun and family time. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Communication was quick and responsive. Property could use some tlc. General cleaning was ok. Some areas needed more attention. Overall great experience.

The house is nice and open. There is 5 bedrooms that sleeps 10 people and the living room has a pull out couch. The house was clean.The kitchen could use a few more plates and silverware.
