Ohio Family Vacation 2025

We had a wonderful time. Our stay was very relaxing. We enjoyed the sandy beachfront access, the ample patio space, and fenced yard for our grandson and grand-pup. The firework show was spectacular too. The place was very clean and well equipped for guests of all ages. It's in a very quiet neighborhood as well. If we plan to revisit the area this is where we will stay again.

We loved this cottage, it was incredibly clean, well maintained and had everything we needed incase we forgot. My daughter really loved the skin care pads in the bathroom. My son loved everything about the water, from 8am-10pm he'd be out there fishing or swimming. I really loved that it was pet friendly where our dog could vacation too!

Exactly as advertised

Overall we were very pleased with our stay. Lake was fairly quiet with a tranquil surrounding shore line. Perfect set up for a dog with the fenced in yard. The kitchen and bathroom/laundry room were well stocked with many thoughtful touches.

The perfect spot

We had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful vacation home. Everything was exactly the same as the pictures. The property was so beautiful and peaceful we spent our whole trip hanging out on the patio or down on the private beach. Our dogs also had a the best time there were even blankets and bowls just for them. The fenced in yard was secure enough for even a tiny poodle mix. The house was well stocked with anything you may have forgotten and the beds were super comfortable.

Week at Hart Lake. Nice!

We very much enjoyed our stay! We spent most of our time outside. All photos are clear depictions of what you are getting. We enjoyed the outdoor shower very much, the beach and clearish water was fabulous (very quiet lake). The spiral stairs are a challenge with a dog and baby. Do bring a solid house shoe to walk down them as they are grated. Overall, a lovely stay and easy communication with Brenda. Thank you!

Cute property

Very cute property right on the lake. Everything was great. Kayaks available. Water was clear. Fishing was fun! The listing shows 2 bathrooms, which was a little misconceiving. There is one bathroom plus an outside shower. I may have simply misread the listing, but want others to be aware.

Perfect Getaway

When we arrived we were so excited to spend the weekend in the cabin. The outdoor patio provides stunning views of the lake and every small detail is thought of, from cushions to moon rocks, to firewood, the host knocked it out of the park. In addition, everything inside was thought of for our pet, our children, and even toiletries. We loved the am wake ups to the glassy lake and we decided to do nothing because the house was so cozy and accommodating. Lastly, the fence for the dog to run freely was a big win for this anxious mom. Exactly what the doctor ordered and I would go back again!

A dream on a lake

It has been YEARS since I’ve taken a proper vacation. Thank God I booked with Brenda. She thinks of everything when she stocks her houses - and this one was gorgeous! A well stocked kitchen (including snacks!) and bathroom. Comfy beds and furniture. Fluffy blankets to snuggle under. Fire starters for the fire pit! The house was the perfect size for the three of us (doggo included). And the dog LOVED the property! Fun fenced yard, easy access Sandy beach. She had endless hours of snooping fun. While in the end I wasn’t a huge fan of the spiral stairs (especially at night for bathroom runs lol) I would definitely vacation here again. And hopefully it will be in the near future.

thank you for staying with us. I know the spiral stairs are not my favorite but they are the most sturdy ones i have ever been on. I am glad your fur baby had a great time.. she was such a pretty dog too. Come again.. I think she loved the walks around the lake the most right?

Missing some basics

While there are the number of beds as stated, the third "bedroom" is completely open to the rest of the house, making it very difficult when a larger group is there due to the noise that carries from the basement/kitchen area. Technically the property sleeps 8, but that would be very very tight, especially with only one bathroom. There is no dishwasher, and the instructions for checkout state that dishes are to be loaded into the dishwasher. The sliding screen door is difficult to open and the fire alarm goes off when there is no smoke in the kitchen. There is no ice maker, so bring your own!

Great Stay

We had a great long weekend - perfect for the two of us and two dogs. The house had everything we would need and then some. We felt more like guests than renters, and this was a very dog-friendly property. The setting was beautiful and having access to the kayaks was very nice. The lake bottom directly in front of the house was very weedy, I wouldn't have wanted to swim, but there was a rake, so we were able to clear an area out to sit chairs in. I didn't quite understand the layout of the house or I might not have booked it as the spiral staircase would have been difficult for the dogs, but they only needed to change levels when we woke up and went to bed, so we just did that through the exterior doors and it was a non-issue. The fenced in yard was a huge bonus. We will definitely be back!

Great Family vacation

Great vacation for my family with wife and two kids 2yr old and 5yr old. The outside shower was great to clean the kids off, the please was like newly remodeled, great place for grilling cooked about all meals outside. They only thing that gave us trouble was the metal spiral staircase with young once always wanted to climb up and down one little slip could be bad. But everything else was great! Will be back!
