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.

4. Any outside visitors must be approved by hosts prior to arrival. Planning a party at this quiet property will result in an automatic $1,000 fine.

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!

I don't know where to begin. This is a beautiful lake house and it's so calming for the soul. We enjoyed so many things here. My husband and daughter fished off the dock, we had so many laughs playing ping pong and Pac-Man. I could just hang out on the deck all day enjoying the cool breezes and views. We took a short trip to Friendly Meadows Country Store and bought some Amish goods and huge pumpkins. I suggest taking a short drive to Gambier. It's a lovely little college town with a fantastic deli and Birds of a Feather Bake Shop. We really enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful time. The house was clean and well stocked with paper products and towels. The paddle boards were fun. We loved the dock and the fishing was great.There was plenty of wood for the fire pit. We enjoyed the early morning views from the decks with the sun rise and the fog on the lake. The view was spectacular. The kids enjoyed playing in the garage with the various toys. We had a ping pong playoff and even a round robin. The walk from the dock up to the house was a great work out. We are a family that loves to talk, play games and enjoy one another's company. This house really worked for us. Thanks for providing an environment where we could be together.

We all had a great time at the lake house. Beds and chairs are all very comfortable and kitchen has everything you need to cook with. The hosts are very prompt to reply to questions and are awesome! The family would like to stay here again!

My family had a great time at the Lakefront Gateway, the house was very well equipped and comfortable; however, not having access to any of the beaches/swimming pool was a big negative. I did not realized that things changed not necessarily for the better for the guests. When we were at Apple Valley the last time, there were no restrictions, so I just assumed that the beach access at least is for anybody visiting the resort. My bad. Otherwise, the house itself was very nice and our family had a good time. Thank you.

This is our third time staying here. We love it! It has everything we need to make our vacation easy! The kids love the paddle boards and the game room on rainy days. We love to just float and make great memories with our kids. We’ll be back again and again!!

We stayed at this beautiful lake house on Apple Valley Lake to celebrate a very special occasion—two couples, both marking our 40th anniversaries—and it couldn’t have been more perfect!The host was fantastic, with excellent communication from start to finish. The home was spotless and welcoming, with two separate bedrooms—each with its own en suite bathroom—which gave us the perfect balance of comfort and privacy. The beds were cozy, and the space was just right for relaxing.We especially appreciated the well-stocked coffee bar each morning and loved sipping coffee on the porch with a gorgeous lake view. The private dock gave us another peaceful spot to sit back, unwind, and enjoy the natural beauty all around.Mount Vernon was just a quick 15-minute drive, and we had some fantastic meals at Mazzas, The Alcove, and Southside Diner—all great additions to our anniversary weekend.This rental truly checks every box: clean, comfortable, beautifully located, and thoughtfully hosted. We’d return in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable lakeside retreat!

As part of a biking trip on the Ohio/Erie bike trail we stayed at this cottage for a couple days. Is only about 4 miles off the trail. Nice neighborhood. Rental was well stocked and response by the host was prompt. The Yoders
