First off: These pictures do NOT do the property justice. It is extremely beautiful inside and out. Be prepared for scenic tranquility (with your neighbors occasional shooting practice!). It’s remote feeling with all the easy access to amenities you might need. You’re about ~10 minute drive to a stocked grocery store and 25 into Columbus. The house has tons of games, a foosball table, a gazebo with swing and tons of fishing equipment. There are lots of funny/interesting tchotchkes around the home and lots of Ohio football fan signage for those who are into that kinda thing.
Some tips for upcoming guests: There is a fair bit of noise transfer from water pipes between floors so definitely bring earplugs to sleep. Also note that the basement room/ game room tends to be chillier and there are no additional blankets (in fact, most closet spaces are locked). The basement room (two twins) and the loft at the top of the stairs (a full) do not have access to a full bathroom when the other rooms’ (King, twin/full & full) doors are closed so the downstairs single toilet room is the only access point for basement/loft guests. Also, we suggest to bring some of your own towels. We were one short in our party and there were no additionals to be found. There is a solid washer/dryer onsite that we used throughout the weekend to ensure everyone had a towel when needed. We would also suggest bringing your own firewood (there is a lovely firepit), a full-size blender (there is one onsite but it is a ninja made for ~3 people) and purchasing liters of water for drinking/coffee (because the house is on well water - an acquired taste!). The kitchen has all the basics and a little more (spices, teas, flour, sugar, etc) but you’ll want to bring any perishables with you (butter, milk, eggs, etc).
Last, were so excited for the heated pool and upstairs balcony sits but the owner informed us that March did not count as “pool season” and the balcony was closed for safety so we were unable to access those amenities as listed on the VRBO profile. We just wish our group hadn’t gotten its hopes up, brought swimsuits, etc so be forewarned!
If you are looking for a fun, clean, and scenic getaway spot for your family/friend reunion, look no further.
