Very fun long weekend at a relaxing property with 7 large bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Three kitchens! Plenty of paper towels and toilet paper! Weird I know, but some rental leave you one roll of paper towels and two rolls of TP! The water was beautiful - just a relaxing getaway!

We were on a motorcycle trip with 11 people, 3 tow vehicles with trailers, and 6 motorcycles. The house is a bit of a hot mess, but it had plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, and parking for everyone. We enjoyed the lake view and decks at night. We did not cook or use the hot tub. Lucky's and Ray's Harvest House are very close and both were excellent. Athens is close for other restaurant and grocery options. This is a great location if you want to ride Ohio's Windy 9!

Place was beautiful. A bit out dated and in need of some upgrades but it was clean and was very spacious for our family.

The pictures of the property on your site appears to be about 10 years old.O.ne bathroom looked like it was 100 years old. I have never encountered a house in such shape on VRBO. They have always looked lovelier than the pictures. The lake was green covered. Not happy at all with the place. Was surprised to see it on VRBO with your standards.
