Rental is exactly as depicted. Private, secluded feel. Lots of birds and wildlife. Convenient location to many shopping centers and restaurants. Close proximity to Allum Creek State Park and many nature trails and activities. Previous reviews mention road noise. We didn't notice it at all once inside. Host Terry was available and responsive. We had a pleasant and peaceful stay. Thank you.

Great Stay!

We had a great time! Our first time using a VRBO property for a vacation was a success, all thanks to the lovely accomodations offered by our host. The property was exactly as we envisioned. Everything was clean and well thought out. We would stay here again if we're ever in the area.

Affordable & Near the Lake

PROS:- Very clean, fine amenities. - Most importantly for us, it's VERY close to the lake, only a minute or two to drive there.- Excellent spacious back-yard with fire pit and legit frolf goal.CONS:- The only bad thing I can say about the property is that some of the deck wood shows signs of termite damage, and the chimney exterior could use a patch-up, but none of that impacted our stay in any way.

Cozy Spot

Originally booked for 3 adults and a toddler but one adult ended up staying elsewhere because the only bathroom was accessed through the bedroom and the walls didn’t reach to the ceiling. Cute place for a couple or small family, several nice amenities.

Great and Convenient stay!

Close enough to the highway and close to tons of greater-Columbus activities. The Polaris mall less than 10 minutes away and surrounding area has lots to do. Easton mall is also just a short drive. The Cinemark movie theater is amazing too, it has great seats. The property itself was very clean and welcoming. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting, especially compared to staying in a hotel.
