HOUSE RULES & POSSIBLE GUEST SURCHARGES

1. No pets allowed. We are animal lovers, but this is an animal free listing. If a pet is discovered on the property, a $250 fee plus damage will be charged, and the pet(s) must be removed immediately.

2. No smoking within 25 feet of the home. If our cleaners smell smoke inside the home, a $200 fee will be added to your stay. If you do smoke outdoors, please be thoughtful to discard all debris.

3. You must be over 25 to make a reservation.

5. Swimming and lake use is at your own risk.

*The owners have a private, separate lower-level unit that they use occasionally on weekends. (think of it like a separate downstairs condo) There's a chance you may see them on the dock if they're around, but it shouldn't affect your stay. They're quiet and they'll give you all the privacy you desire!

Peaceful place, Quick responce from host for needs. The place is smaller than it appears but looks like the photos. The driveway down to the property is very steep,there is a parking pad for 3 cars. But you still need to get down to the house wooden stair way steep . So if you arent steady on your feet this isnt the place for you. Not a place for toddlers. But everyone else I would highly recommend yyou. Yong folks will be fine. Cant

1st Year Drop off at Kenyon College
We had family with us ranging in age from 8 - 81. The property was perfect. Everyone in our group had their own space and the view of the lake was gorgeous! A very short drive to Kenyon (and we were back and forth frequently). After long days of orientation it was so nice to come “home” to a little slice of paradise!

Lake house vacation
Very nice property. Ample seating outside, but not much on the inside. Two old ladies with us complained about the tv. The beds were not the best, foam king bed that seemed very worn on one side. It was nice, even tho we could not bring our dog.

Loved the house and location - with one glitch
This property sits right on beautiful Apple Valley Lake, and sitting down on the dock at sunset was a sublime experience. The main family room was our primary indoor setting, and made for a comfortable and open space for socializing and watching TV. The one challenge we had was a problem with the air conditioning, which was a significant issue given that it was 92 degrees outside and steamy inside the property as well. The thermostat appeared to have disconnected from the wifi, and attempts to reboot the router didn't change the situation - and then I didn't get a response from the owners. It's a great property, but wound disappointing us as a group because we wound up sleeping in a sauna. I'd highly recommend the house and the view is outstanding, but I'd rather go back when the temp outside is lower:).

Slice of Heaven
This was the perfect house for our long weekend getaway with family. There were 4 adults and 5 children. The house had all the necessities and plenty of entertainment for the kids. The host was very responsive when our code wouldn't work to get into the house. I would highly recommend this slice of heaven for a peaceful retreat.

Wonderful home! Was immaculate and well appointed. Check in was a breeze. Host was communicative and so easy to work with. We truly had a wonderful time looking over the lake, enjoying the restful living room, listening to the majestic hawks, and feeling really rested each morning. Five stars across the board!

Awesome Lake House!
We had a great week on the lake. The house is located in the best cove. All the neighbors were awesome. We all went home relaxed and tan :) There is so much to do. The kids loved the paddle boards, ping pong table, and dart board. We floated in the lake by day. We made a fire every night. They had everything set up perfectly. We grilled every night and didn't have to worry about anything. They have plenty of dishware, silverware, and brand new appliances. We can't wait to come back next summer.
