This place is spacious and beautiful. We loved the views of the lake, the outdoor space, and children’s toys were a hit with my grand children. Owners answered every question promptly and helped with everything they could. We came to visit family in the area and will return again.

The host was great proving access information electronically. The house was furnished beautifully with a very large living room, dining room and another large round table that could easily sit 6. I can see this place being used by a large family with the size of the living space. Wonderful place to stay. I will be back.

Nice set-up for a visit with local family. There are a number of steps to get into the house without railing the entire way, but everything is the same level once in the house. Buckeye Lake is visible through the trees in the living room. Will consider the property again in the future when in the area.
