Property met our needs and exceeded our expectations for a long weekend which brought together Buckeye and Longhorn family members for a memorable game day experience. Property owners’ attention to details and personal touches with decor, amenities, and snacks was very much appreciated. Would consider staying again in the future if in the Buckeye Lake area.

This is such a cute property! The house was stocked with everything you could possibly need. The kitchen had small appliances, pots, pans, everything needed to make a kitchen functional. The bathrooms had spare toothbrushes, cotton swabs and toiletries. The beds were comfortable and there was even a fan and space heater in the closets( but they were totally unneeded). We enjoyed the snacks left for us including buckeye candies in the refrigerator. The living room was very comfortable and we were able to airplay the slide show of a family trip out west from our computer the the large screen tv. The hosts seem to have thought of everything you could possibly need for an enjoyable stay. We enjoyed it so much we are thinking of coming next year and staying a couple of days longer.

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!

Already planning to come back!
Certainly one of the best properties we've stayed at in regard to amenities, comfort, and welcoming feel. We enjoyed the treats on arrival. It had all the little things you could need, but in a clean, well organized, and planned way rather than feeling cluttered. There were so many little activities in the house and backyard that the amount of time we spent at the house compared to the lake was more than we planned. That being said, the lake is only about two blocks away and within a 10 minute walk there are multiple restaurants and places to sit for a drink. Multiple places seemed to have live music playing from lunch time to bed time every day we were there, though they were far enough from the cottage it still felt very peaceful in our backyard. We are already trying to find another weekend when the cottage is free to come back!

Everything we needed
This house was a delight for us and groomsmen to stay at for our son's wedding. We had to adjust who was in what house because the upstairs bathroom of this house was in the queen bedroom. Therefore it wasn't going to work for mixed company but we switched to all groomsmen with us and it was perfect. Everything we needed was available. I even made 4 dozen cupcakes for the rehearsal dinner in the kitchen. The young men loved the outdoor area, the games, and the grill. We enjoyed riding bikes along the lake path and walking it as well. Kelly was very quick to respond to questions and very pleasant to visit with. We highly recommend this house!
