This space was great for the 2 of us wanting a quiet get-away. We could easily walk the 2 blocks to the lake, also walked to Buckeye Brewery and The Boat Yard. The kitchen is well set up with all we needed. Everything was clean and the host was easy to communicate with.

Fantastic, Relaxing, and Clean!

A perfectly charming home that was just right for our family! We spent the days wandering and evenings relaxing in a place that quickly felt like home. Great history, food, and thrifting in surrounding areas. Neighborhood was quiet and cozy. Home was spotless and inviting. Owners were great at communicating with zero micromanagement. An all-around fantastic trip. We will absolutely rent this home again when we visit our family.

Weekend Getaway

Nice little house for a weekend getaway. Looks just like the pics and very clean. Easy access code was sent to us so contactless check in is always a plus. Very walkable to area bars and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again, really enjoyed walking over to the lake and hanging out at the boatyard bar and grill and listening to the entertainment and looking out at the beautiful views.
