Showed up to our booking it was disgusting, mess everywhere, toxic smell. It was 11p at night had our dog. Turned around and drove 4 hours back home. Luckily the host refunded our money but VRBO was not going to do a thing. Not offered another place to go , completely stranded

The hosts were welcoming, communicative, and provided so many extras to enhance our stay, the kitchen is very well equipped.Bedrooms and bathrooms are clean, lovely and very comfortable. However, for a large group, the hot tub is quite small, and we did wish that the outdoor area provided more space and seating to sit around the fire.That being said, it is a beautiful area and we would definitely go back.

Hi Ruth, thanks so much for the stay! When you rented we hadn't even got the hot tub so not sure why the complaint about that or the 8/10 star review since it seemed like you liked it. It's a four person hot tub, not a six or eight. We just spent a lot of time and effort setting it up and hope folks will be able to enjoy as we try to make our BnB better and better. We also gave you family a huge discount on the place and left 3 packs of firewood, bought drinks for you to have and did a lot of extras! Hope you enjoyed! Thanks for the review!

Country farm house

The house was well cared for and reflected the owners respecting of its age. It was enjoyed by all the guests. It offered a quiet setting to come back to stay each night. We did not need to prepare no meals during our stay. So, that made relaxation a treat. Many get conversations took some late into the early morning without disturbing others who sleep.

Thanksgiving Family Weekend

We had a large group with family from Maryland, Kentucky and Michigan. The house was wonderful with plenty of space, bedrooms and kitchen room for cooking our Thanksgiving feast. We appreciated Sarah and Ryan who were extremely responsive and helpful, giving us tips and info about the area for places to enjoy on our stay. We had a wonderful time and would love to return.

Cozy and Clean - Helpful Hosts and Natural Setting

We visited for a reunion planning meeting at Kenyon. The property is very cozy and had everything we needed. It's in a very natural setting - beautiful views. The property is only about a 5-minute drive to campus. The walk to the edge of campus is about 10 minutes but closer to 25 minutes to get to Peirce (the main dining hall). All in all very enjoyable stay. The hosts reached out to speak by phone beforehand and were extremely friendly and helpful.

Weekend Getaway

We had a great weekend staying at this adorable boho farmhouse! We celebrated my mom’s 60th birthday with our immediate family and children. The kitchen was huge and fun to all cook together and the kids all enjoyed playing hide n seek and exploring the huge home and property. We went to Kenyon campus for some coffees and shopping at an adorable boutique. We also enjoyed the old train and park in town as well. Thank you so much for an excellent stay!

Cozy spot

Plenty of places to sleep for a large group of friends, and lots of good spaces to gather (porch, 2 living-room like spaces, outdoors). The only things I'd change are adding a door to one downstairs bedroom that doesn't have one, and curtains on the bedroom windows. Overall a great spot though and very convenient to Kenyon College.

Family Reunion

This property is a lovely old farmhouse with updated amenities. The kitchen is perfect for large groups to gather for meals and happy hour. We all sat by the fire pit long into the evening. The house is well furnished. We also enjoyed many small quaint shops nearby and the many beautiful hiking trails. Although we didn't require the fenced-in there was no fenced or enclosed area for children or dogs.

Charming old house

Overall a decently great stay. Great outdoors, good kitchen, and nice vibe. Unfortunately, there were some things that could have been better. The AC upstairs in the hot weather was not optimal. The only bedroom downstairs had two doorways, one of which had a door that didn’t close all the way, and the other one had no door so there was no privacy. Lastly, I know there is nothing you out can do about it, but the well water was pretty stinky.
