About this property
Welcome to The Captain and Crew Quarters on Anchor Drive at Apple Valley Lake!
Thank you for choosing The Captain and Crew Quarters at Apple Valley Lake for your Knox County getaway. The whole lower level is yours to enjoy as well as the fenced-in pet friendly* back yard and the upper rear deck (access from lower rear level). This is not a shared home! The upstairs (main floor) consists of 4 commercial office space units (non-residential). You can expect very little activity upstairs on the weekends and weekday evenings. The entrance to the Quarters is located on the lower rear of the property. You follow the new, private, ADA compliant (no stairs) cement walkway/ramp located on the north side of the building (the side away from 36/Coshocton Rd facing Witt’s Frozen Custard/Subway) down the north side, through the new fence gate backyard entrance, and then follow the path to the lower back patio/entrance. It's a short walk with no stairs. We have spent well over a year on the interior and exterior of the lower level to prepare for your stay. Our goal was to have a very enjoyable space with modern and extra conveniences/comforts at an affordable price. This private property located in the front of Apple Valley is minutes to the Apple Valley Golf Course, Gambier and Kenyon College, Kokosing Camp and Canoe Livery, and walking distance to the Shell Gas Station, The Pub at Apple Valley, Apple Valley Lake, and of course Subway and Witt’s Frozen Custard is in the adjacent property right up the street on Anchor Drive. Knox and Coshocton counties also provide many other indoor and outdoor adventures outside of this immediate area that are just a short drive away. Many of those are listed in the booklet provided in the Quarters. We are a local family owner/operator of Knox County and hope you enjoy The Captain and Crew Quarters as much as we do.

About the host
Hosted by Dean Opfer
Dean, Denise, and Matt started acquiring and working on commercial and residential properties in 2021. We know own 4 vacation rentals in Knox County, 1 commercial building, and two permanent rentals. Dean and Denise have lived in Knox County since 2008, and in Ohio most of their lives. Matt has lived in Ohio all of his life. We have done and continue to do much of the work ourselves to get our properties ready for our guests and/or tenants, which can take a very long time as we are not about shortcuts. This allows us to put our own touches and love into all of our properties (we are very picky for our brand), and we believe this is why we receive so many 5 Star reviews. Denise is our full-time property manager for all properties, our interior decorator, our lawn service, our snow service, our gardener, our book keeper, manages our cleaners as well as cleans our properties herself, and all around amazingly organized hard working gal. Dean manages the online booking and marketing, and both Matt and Dean do all the heavy construction, heavy lifting, updates and repairs to our properties. We do have contractors that handle work that requires licensed professionals, but anything else within our wheelhouses we try to handle ourselves carefully and with purpose. We all enjoy the outdoors, we are all are in love with everything Knox County has to offer, and we hope you find the fruits of our labors very enjoyable.
Why they chose this property
Denise and Dean have a primary residence in the Apple Lake community. They love the lake, the amenities, the public golf course, and the great outdoors. With it's central location to Apple Valley, Gambier, The Kokosing River, the Mohican River, The Mohawk River, and so many other great outdoor activities/experiences guests can enjoy in the immediate area, as well as the commercial office spaces/suites in the upper level, and the potential for a vacation rental on the lower level, this seemed the perfect property to purchase and invest some time and money into in order to see our vision to come true. We hope you enjoy the area and the comforts unit provides as much as we do.
What makes this property unique
Knox county is absolutely beautiful. The unit is centrally located in front of Apple Valley near Gambier/Kenyon College, The Gap Trail, The Kokosing River, the Mohican River, The Mohawk River, The Falls at Honey Run, Mohican State park, Roscoe Village, Amish Country, and so much more. With so many great indoor and outdoor activities and experiences for guests to enjoy, there just isn't enough time or room to list them all (as much as we could is listed in the guest booklet located in the unit). This unit is pet friendly, sleeps 4-6, has amenities such as a walk-in floor to ceiling tile shower, hot tub, fire pit, and is walking distance to Subway, Witt's Frozen Custard, the Shell Gas Station, and The Pub at Apple Valley for food and entertainment. There is no other unit in the immediate area that can reasonably make the same claims. We hope you enjoy Knox County and the comforts and amenities our unit provides as much as we do.
